**## Player Version**
Latest/Stable 1.8-R6
**## Issue**
Player Client is picking up and displaying the background for our layout but not any of the other content on our layout.
I have confirmed our contents layers are correct, with our background on layer 0 and all other content layered above it. So far all we have for content on the board is a couple of PNGs and the building in flip clock.
We have Enabled the Expire Modified Layouts option from the settings profiles advanced options and that has not resolved the issue.
Has anyone else ran into this issue before? Anyone with a potental solutuion?
Thanks in advance!

Same here. I tested a lot with the layers but it seems it only appears with images. For example if i create a video that only contains the image the layout is displayed correctly. So i think its a problem with the image module in the xibo for linux client. The same layout works fine with windows clients.

The Linux player is quite outdated and support is scarce, even if troubleshooting logs would have been shared

Yes, I know - that is why I asked for a workaround…

If anyone is wondering the same thing - Windows Player via wine works fine.
