Glitch when playing in Sync group

Hi

I am on Xibo 4.0.6 CMS and I have created a sync group of 3 displays. There is a slight glitch in the playback of the layouts which causing the feature of sync group to be useless in such case. What would the problem be?

I am using TX3 android players (4GB + 32 GB) and using Xibo 4.0.3. A video that shows the problem is in the link below.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

Have you found a solution to this? We are experiencing the same problem with DSCS9X.

Hi,

Try to have the video inside a play list instead of having the video directly in the layout. Also use the Content Synchronisation Key

I don’t know if I am stating the obvious here, but they’re on a wired network?. Wireless the TCP lag is too much and you get results like you’re seeing. I usually schedule all the media items that are going to be sync’d in separate layouts, and i’ve not encountered the lag per display before. I also set the players onto their own vlan on the switch so that there is only the traffic between them and the cms.

Hi,
How did you create video wall configuration ?
i didn’t find any settings for it , only mirror option is available.

You have to first make a sync group, pick your master, then add the other displays.
For arguments sake, we’re doing a 8 screen video wall, 2 x 4. Using 8 android players

Get your videos chopped up accordingly and upload into the system.

Then create layouts for every display,
You have layouts named 1,2,3,4 etc.

Add a playlist to your layouts and put your video in the playlist. On the media items in that playlist you can set the synchronization key for each slot. 5 different wall videos, 5 different keys.

Do a sync schedule and choose the layout for each display ,1,2,3,4 etc.

Wait for it to download and voila

Every time the master has a new media item pop up, the slaves will play the media item with the matching sync key
