MP4 Video NOT loading to just 1 of 7 screens
« on: October 22, 2019, 11:25:37 AM »
Help!

We have seven (7) digital signage screens scattered around our building.  We have a scene that was created using Scene Editor which has a .mp4 video resource in it.  The scene played just fine on six (6) of the digital signage screens, eventually.  For several of them, it took a restart for the video to actually show up.

However, one (1) of the screens is still not showing up.  It just shows as a blank portion of the scene.  Here's what I've done so far.

  • Did File>Save/Upload several times.
  • Did File>Save/Upload and selected "Cache resource before play."
  • Rebooted the screen from Stations.

What else should I do to troubleshoot?

how large is the video?  from your description, you mentioned "eventually" which indicates the video may be taking time to download and cache.

what player device are you using? and what player software version?

best regards

Thanks for responding.  The video we're trying to play is approximately 45 seconds long and the video file is 46,066 KB in size.

According to the "Stations" module in Signage Studio, all screens are...

  • OS: Windows 10.
  • Version: 5.0.81
  • Airversion 20.0.0.233
