I am trying to display ads dynamically using the open source xibo cms platform integrated with my backend logic that schedules ads dynamically on different players that are running on windows, but I am experiencing a delay of over one minute on the displays. If my backend schedules an ad to start at 1pm for example and the time is exactly 1pm the ads will play on the display 1 minute to 2 minutes past 1. So I was wondering if you anyone has tried different displays and can the recommend the recommend the best choice for my use case or maybe guide me to things to consider and look at to fix my delay issue.
In Xibo you are adding your schedules into the schedule loop at 1pm, not scheduling them to show at 1pm. If you have other schedules still active at that time they will also be in the schedule loop.
Adding a priority to your 1pm schedule, such that it is the highest priority schedule in the loop at that time, will ensure that it starts at 1pm. On windows we have a scheduling accuracy of within 10s.
