No content is loading on Android players. We seem to have the players setup properly and they were loading content until recently when we noticed no content. There is one message on the status that’s obvious issue is it state “Player is missing dependencies”

This is the message on the bottom of the screen. If you need more info to assist with troubleshooting, please let me know.
If you restart Xibo for Android does it the issue persist?
If you go to Displays page -> Edit row with display in question -> Manage (1.8) | Media inventory (1.7) and Recent log (1.7)
does it shows what files are missing?
While you there you can also Edit&Save display record to clear its cache.
If there are some module files missing, then please navigate to Modules page -> Verify all
What’s the CMS version and player version please? Version 1.8.2 on Server and 1.8 on Xibo Android client
If you restart Xibo for Android does it the issue persist? Yes.
If you go to Displays page → Edit row with display in question → Manage (1.8) | Media inventory (1.7) and Recent log (1.7)
does it shows what files are missing?
While you there you can also Edit&Save display record to clear its cache. Done
If there are some module files missing, then please navigate to Modules page → Verify all - Yes, all verified ok.
You can clear player cache, restart the player and if the issue persist, you can also tun Verify All on the Modules page, restart player and give it a moment.
If it is still an issue, then we would need to see logs, screenshots showing the problem and also what CMS and player versions are you using please.
After upgrading 1.8.7 to version 1.8.9.
The player is downloading some files infinitely.
Pending files are never downloaded.
After completing 48, the downloads are started again.
It is not the media that I put to play, are other files like:
animate.css
bootstrap.min.css
compatibility.js
flipclock.min.js
font-awesome.min.css
jquery-1.11.1.min.js
jquery.marquee.min.js
moment.js
What I’ve Done:
I tested the apks: 1.8 r104 E 1.8 r106
I logged into the player configuration and saved it to clear the cache.
I restarted the player.
I cleared the cache of all the modules.
I reinstalled version 1.8.9 of cms.
I tested it on another player.
I’d expect verify all on modules page and clear display cache (edit sand save display record) to solve this, assuming there are no connection issues and player can download from CMS without problems.
Since it is showing 48/48 on the status, then it is more likely cache issue if you see it differently on the manage page.
What is the download mode in CMS set to?
Is the ssl configured and players are connecting over https to the CMS?
During the reinstallation, I lost the “MEDIA” folder and thought that resending the videos would suffice.
However from what I noticed the media folder has other files besides the ones I send.
Luckily the files are in the xibo installation, and I’m copying one by one.
A suggestion:
One way to prevent this, since the system knows which files are missing, and has these files, would be a button to recopy these files to the media folder in case of loss, as it happened to me.
You need to run Verify All on the Modules page of the CMS. That will reinstall any missing files from the library, and then the Player will complete its download in due course.
If you don’t have the message “Player is missing dependencies” on the status screen of the Player then you have another problem and nothing on this page will resolve that.
You should create your own new topic with the messages you have on your device.
