Cms 4.04 layout not updating after change in playlist

hi

i am testing cms 4.04
looks good, was able to create layouts, playlists and schedules.
but 1 thing is not working fine.
if i change the playlist, the layout does not automatically update itself.
this is a problem when i want to roll it out for different users

what can be done?

the same thing happens to me.

Hi

is there anyone experiencing the same problem and/or a solution

this is my environment (it is test environment)
i used hyper-v to setup a server 2022 with xampp 8.2.4 with php 7.4.33 apache 2.40.54 (x64)
here i run xibo 3.3.8

i use the windows profile and have set it to 1 minute interval.

in hyper-v i also setup a windows 10 client running xibo client 3R310.1

on server i created a playlist and a layout. I connected the playlist to the layout and put media in it (mp4, pdf, jpg file)
then i fired up the player and it showed me the playlist.
then i made changes in the playlist (deleted the pdf in the list )
after the interval, nothing happens. after a lot of waiting, still nothing happens

if i stop xibo player and delete the data in the xibo player folder and start xibo player again, then it updates the layout and player…
i don’t think that is what supposed to be happening.
i assume that after the interval, the player checks in with cms and then gets the new layout and downloads it to the xibo player, but that is not working.
i assume also that the playlist was created so this is easy for the enduser to just add and remove stuff from there instead of playing around in the layout and mabye mess things up. But it seems this setup is not working as it should

Hope that there is someone who knows what to do, or knows about this flaw and mabye there is a nice workaround or a stable fix coming up
