Downloaded file failed MD5 check

Ok, if i am the only one with that problem i will have to solve it or look in the code.
Thanks for testing!

Have you selected template: image overlaid with text?

Yes exactly that. It looks really nice :smiley:

Ok, thank you. Yes the pictures are great :slight_smile:

You probably already know or realise this, the ticker_ files are temporarily cached images from the feed. So the CMS downloads the MediaRss image to the library and then the player downloads it from the library.

Yes sure i know that. The player does not correctly download it (from localhost), as you can see on the screenshot with the ticker_-file open. The content is duplicated (called twice).
So the downloaded file is bigger than the file in the cms.

From here Schedule status: sleeping and required file status: sleeping(inside download window) - #4 by gnarkill042

Error 11 from the zip module also suggests you have a permissions problem in your Xibo library on the CMS. You need ot ensure that the webserver can write to the whole directory, and any sub directories (particularly the temp one)

I have the same problem on the windows installation. Maybe related and also a permission problem. But how to fix, for me it looks like xibo-cms is able to read/writeā€¦

So to summarise:

  • The feed works on our test system
  • I have also tested on Win 8
  • All other files download correctly (normal media files)
  • The file opens correctly from the CMS library
  • The file appears ā€œdouble sizeā€ on the player

It would appear to be a CMS download problem, but that doesnā€™t explain why other files download correctly, so that points to a CMS problem.

Before we continue can you confirm that the above statements are correct?

Yes, only

The file appears ā€œdouble sizeā€ on the player

Not exactly the double size, but parts are twice inside the file and it is bigger than the file in cms.

I have now installed the player-development version with visual studio.

Maybe a chache/filestore problem, i donā€™t know. Here is what i found:
In file RequiredFiles.cs i changed line 127 to rf.ChunkSize = 1000;
After that the files downloaded correctly (very slow). I have now set it back to 512000 and the error does not appear again and downloads work (even if i deleted the ticker_* files in the Xibo_Library!)

Thereā€™s no possibility you could have been running two instances of the XiboClient against the same directory?

No, i have the same problem on three windows computers.
The only thing is that i am using the same licence ā€œKeyā€ for multiple installations (with different URL). Could that be a problem and should that key be unique?

Itā€™ll mean that the three all appear as one Display in the CMS but it shouldnā€™t cause an issue beyond that

No, not what i mean. I have different cms installation with the same Key.

No I donā€™t think that would cause an issue.

So now you canā€™t replicate it anymore on your systems?

Not on the system i installed visual studio. I will check if the error appears on the other systems

Yes, i get the error on the other systems, so i think it has to do with the changes i made

But you said you changed the value back to the 512000?

Yes, and it is working now, strange.
Are there files stored outside the XiboLibrary folder?

Yes thereā€™s configuration and some state files stored in the user profile

Just a point to note - the state files are now stored in the player library (so that multiple players can run simultaneously)

The only thing in the user profile is a XML file containing the configuration.
