Error in Display log - 1.8.1 R102

Not sure why we are getting this:

Our best guess is that for some reason the app is trying to start over and over and over.

Yeah it’s possible I guess, or you have more than one player running on the device in question?
Like some different versions(beta?), white label and standard release perhaps?

Hi Peter,

Only one version of the software installed. Any ideas on what to do?

This error means that there is software installed on the device that is listening on the same port as Xibo for Android does.

That’s why I asked about more than one player instance running on the device, which would cause this error as well, if that’s not the case, then that would imply that perhaps you have some other software installed that does listed on the same port?

Not sure if that is the case or not. It is a tablet that we use for testing. It was working fine, but we re-imaged it to try and root the device. Root failed we reapplied the factory image and re-installed Xibo. Since then we have gotten this message. Any ideas on how to tell if another software title is using the port, and then which port Number I am looking for?

See startWebServer - cannot start webserver for a solution.
