Hi! I’m using 1.8-R5 versión of player on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS installed with Snap
CMS Version 2.1.0
I have a layout with 5 playlists inside it.
Playlists also contain photo and video content.
The problem is the player does not play the video files only the images.
This problem has been happening relatively recently, before it did not happen.
Does anyone know if there is currently a problem with the video playback in the ubuntu player?
Thank you very much
Hi and welcome to the community.
Yes there definitely is a problem with video playback and we are working to try and solve it.
Take a look at some of the other topics in this category and you will see lots of video issues recently (which started happening without warning due to something - we think Kernel or drivers).
Thank you very much for your answer. We appreciate your work. We will wait for the solution. Regards.
Hi, a solution has arrived?
We do not have a solution yet.
We are exploring two different angles:
Working with snapcraft to solve the issue: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/xibo-player-mesa-loader-failed-to-open-iris-swrast/19268
Looking at alternative ways to package the application, such as AppImage
Hi. Just to check. The problem is still there, right?
Thanks.
We’ve seen an update to snapd which has solved the issue on multiple PC’s. On my PC with 2.45.2 it didn’t work, but now with 2.47 it does 
See:
In short, we’re not really sure what happened to fix it, but it does appear to be working now.
Hi,
It’s doesn’t work anymore…

Sometimes i can play 2 video and the player stop to work randomly :
oct. 23 12:32:06 fst-o-f-xibo2 player[5170]: The program 'player' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was '143'.
(Details: serial 395 error_code 143 request_code 139 (RENDER) minor_code 7)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Thanks - I have passed this on to the development team.
I hope no to be very boring about this, but just for confirm again, know we anything about de solution of this problem?
Thans you!
