Looping wmv

Asked by RichardB

Hi,
Is there a way to loop a wmv video?
At the moment when a short clip ends we are left with a grey box.
Many thanks.

Hi there,

The problem you are experiencing is almost fixed by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xibo/+bug/344203

Basically there was a bug in rc3 where you had to enter a duration when adding a video - but the client couldn't deal with videos having a duration. If you follow the instructions at the end of the above bug report there is a patch for this.

However another bug has been discovered where if your region only contains a video - you will be presented with a grey box until the media in other regions has finished and the layout moves on. This is of course worse if you only have 1 layout - as it will never move on and loop the video.

There are instructions for a workaround in the above report.

Regards,
Dan
