I have done a bit of test in my environment, wanted to share with you
I save my test video file called testvideo.mp4 in the Videos folder of my Admin account in Windows 11 Pro. So the complete path to the video file above is, by Windows standard:
C:\Users\Admin\Videos\testvideo.mp4
However, in CMS, the path would then be:
C://Users/Admin/Videos/testvideo.mp4
Convert the backward-slash to forward-slash and use double-forward-slash
And it work on my case.
Please note that, I have used the Windows Media Player Legacy (there’s the word Legacy for Windows Media Player in Windows 11 Pro) to play the testvideo.mp4 file successfully. I think xibo player use Windows Media Player to play the video stored locally on the PC in which it is installed. So, if WMP cannot play the video, Xibo will neither
