I recently fresh installed xibo 1.7.4, I created a couple of layouts for the different sections which are to show different material and fully populated one of the layouts , but none of the layouts are playing and are all saying they are invalid and cannot be scheduled. I am fairly new to Xibo and am not sure what I am doing wrong, please help!!!

Perhaps you have some empty regions? (one region is added when you create new layout)

> Problem: Layout will not play / the splash screen is shown instead of playing the Layout. Cause: Xibo requires all Layouts to contain something to show. For a Layout to be valid to play on a Xibo Player, it must meet the following criteria: Must have at least one Region on the Layout All Regions on the Layout must have at least one valid Media item on it If the Layout doesn’t meet that specification, then the Player won’t attempt to run the Layout and so the Layout will be missing from you…

I only have two regions configured including the one the comes with the new region, one only has still images and the other one i configured only the clock to show in attempt to keep it simple plus all those modules are verified.

Ok, that’s a bit strange, could you perhaps export your layout so we can see it in our test environment?
You can upload it to dropbox/similar and give us a link, you can it to me via pm if you don’t want to post it here.
