What’s your private and public XMR addresses in Settings / display profile assigned to this device?
Also what Xibo for Android version is this? Should be preferably 1.8 R101 since you’re using 1.8 CMS.

The adress is correct, IT work for 3-4 days, then this happen.
Ver is .101

I may have found the cause of my problem.
All of my boxes are on timers, so they reboot once a day.
Every time I reboot, I get "can not get public key"
Something I can fix?
Some screens goes on/off with the lighting in the rooms, so they reboot, whether I want or not.

You can try to navigate to the Displays page -\> Edit display -\> Advanced tab -\> check ‘Reconfigure XMR’ and click Save.
It could be also good to restart Xibo player after making this change.
It shouldn’t be needed to do that after each reboot though.

This basically means that the player is unable to create or recall the RSA key it generated to communicate with XMR (push messaging from the CMS).
Rekey only clears the key from the CMS side, allowing the Player to send a new key. As this doesn’t work it is possible you have a corrupted key in stored in the player that isn’t being cleared.
Can you try deleting all data for the application (which will require you to reconfigure it when you start it back up), so see if that clears the error.
I will record a 🐛 for the next release to try and detect a corrupt key and self-clear it.

As a side note this probably isn’t great for the device

Will try that.
The displays are in stores, so they turn on with the lighting in the morning, and turn off at night. The reason I chose to do that is that the minix boxes hang out sometimes, now they get an automatic reboot every night.
use Minix x7 mini with autostart then the power goes on.

Here we go again. Followed your step on one of my screens ysterday. Cleared all data and rekeyed.
Everything works well until…
Uploading…
The strange thing is that it did work for several hours, so the configuration must be correct.
I’m about to losing my mind

OK - its still a useful test - its a repeatable problem, not a one off corruption of some sort. That makes me think the key isn’t being stored correctly.
I’ll look into this asap - the error message itself is actually harmless if you don’t use push messaging for anything. You can lower your collection interval to compensate and ignore the message.
Once I have something to try, I will PM you and @urbanit a link to a new APK to try

Try to reboot my device with the new APK.
Here´s the log:

I may be closer to understanding this - i’ve build another beta APK and made it available at the same URL as before. Would it be possible for you to try again please?

Hmm - would it be possible to put auditing on in your display settings profile and also on the display itself? I am hoping to get another message logged telling me where it failed.

What version of android do you have running on your Minix?
Using the extra logging I have found some information on the issue which states it was a bug in Android 4.1.1 (for reference : [https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36955953](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36955953))
For 1.8 we do require android 4.4 or higher
