Hi Matze - thanks for trying.
Sorry I wasn’t expecting your issue to be solved actually! But I think I do know why it happens!
Can you try installing the Visual C++ redistributable from here? I think it is a run time dependency of cef which I unfortunately missed from the installer!
This looks very nice. No flashes between the websites we are displaying.
Is this already a version with the chrome cef option? Our webdesigner is pretty happy because custom css styles are working fine now. 
Great to hear that worked - I will add that package to the pre-installation checklist in the MSI.
Yes this build uses Chromium for web rendering (great to hear your styling is working) and it also uses WPF so the Web control is transparent (I think this also means you can put it on top of other things - i.e. overlapping regions should work)
Hi Dan,
I downloaded the new MSI: https://blog.xibo.org.uk/xibo-for-windows-v2/
The flashes are gone it seems to work very well, only the scaling problem is still present on non 16:9 displays, as described here: How to change Browser for the Xibo Player
And pressing i tells me a requiredfilesliet.xml is missing. But the display works and the xml is prenset.
Regards
Thank you for your feedback!
I will look at this again as my next step.
Hi,
for me, the new Version works great!!
Especially the new overlapping and transparent Regions!
Great Works ! Thanks to all in the Team!
Greetings Torsten
Hi,
i testing overlapping Regions in the last days…
z-indexes are not working with the new Player, right?
Greetings Torsten
Ah, they should be working, so that is interesting!
It tries to sort them while its parsing the layout
_regions.Sort((l, r) => l.ZIndex < r.ZIndex ? -1 : 1);
I’ll add that to my list - thanks for the feedback.
I’ve run through our test suite for zindex and the wpf player does seem to work OK with all of our tests - do you have an example you can send me?
The wpf player has been updated with the following fixes:
You can get the new MSI here.
Hi dan
i continue testing and i have the following results with the new player (R252-5) :
Overlapping: It works, but not when i have the embeddet widget and play a Youtube Video in it.
In this case, the widget with the video is ontop of all…!?
After the “Embeded-Video-Widget” i change to an “Embedded-Webcam-Widget” and it works to.
Maybe there is an bug in my implementation of the Youtube Video?
Here are the code for that:
HTML :
<!-- BROWSER=edge -->
<div id="player"></div>
CSS:
<style type="text/css">
</style>
JS:
function EmbedInit()
{
// Init will be called when this page is loaded in the client.
return;
}
<script type="text/javascript">
var tag = document.createElement('script');
tag.src = "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api";
var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);
var player;
function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady() {
player = new YT.Player('player', {
height: '792',
width: '1390',
videoId: '0SsSAaJ6BII',
playerVars: {
'loop': 1,
'controls' : 0,
'rel' : 0,
'fs' : 0,
'showinfo' : 0,
'cc_load_policy' : 0,
'iv_load_policy' : 3,
'modestbranding' : 1,
'mute' : 1,
},
events: {
'onReady': onPlayerReady
}
});
}
function onPlayerReady(event) {
event.target.playVideo();
}
</script>
Transitions: i continue testing…
Greetings Torsten
That is unfortunate but i’m afraid not surprising - if you removed <!-- BROWSER=edge --> and picked a video with patent free encoding, the I suspect it would work as you wanted.
Much like the old IE11, Edge does not support overlapping 
As usual, thanks for the testing!
Hi Dan,
we tested the new version. For us, there are no problems anymore!
The scaling works and no white flashes.
We will test it further.
Regards
dan, you are the best!!!
it works wonderfull, when i remove the <!-- BROWSER=edge --> in my script.
Transition works too, on all widget.
Thank you very much for your support and work!
Another Question: is it possible to implement more than the 3 standart transitions?
Greetings Torsten
I’m pleased its working! Thank you for all the testing as it certainly would have been much harder without that.
That is a broader question really, as we can to make sure we can support those across transactions and also modify the CMS. Its definitely something we want to look at though.
Hello Dan,
We continue testing the player (R252 v.6)
I loved the transitions, Chrome rendering, and overlapping.
However these are my observations:
Even though I muted my video widget, the audio of the video is still listening on the R252, (this is not happening on the R202).
When uploading a MOV file with alpha channel (transparencies) the player does not respect those transparencies. Is this an expected performance? If so, what do you recomend us to search for.
Thanks for may help
Here is my player details.
And our CMS is 2.3.0
Thank you for the feedback and comments
I’ve added a bug for the video mute issue - we will check it out:
On the MOV issue, what are you expecting to happen? Have the alpha channel show through the content below it?
Hi we tested the new V252 player. We found only one problem, local videos (as mp4) wont play. The area is just invisible and the background behind is visible. With the IE-based player the videos plays.
Embedded via “Local Video” widget, path in the format c:\video\video1.mp4
The log:
2020-03-25 13:12:42Region - Eval OptionsUnable to start new localvideo object: Die angegebene Datei konnte nicht gefunden werden.
2020-03-25 13:11:42Region - Eval OptionsUnable to start new localvideo object: Die angegebene Datei konnte nicht gefunden werden.
Thanks
Hi Dan,
Yes, I would expect that the alpha channel show thorugh the content below it.
Is the principal function of the alpha channel, but I don´t know if is this posible on R252 player.
Is this possible?
