I was trying to make a layout with multiple regions and images inside regions.
More than 50 elements was used while making it.All the images are in PNG format. And then it was uploaded inside minix neo X5 devices to see final output.
Surprisingly the quality of image was bad and it got stretch.
While uploading the quality that was used was 50*50 pixel.
Once it was uploaded the quality was 55*54 pixel. (we check it via cache files)
What good be the reason for such kind of behaviour when many elements are used in making layouts.
Is it due to APK or device issue???
So you have a lot of small images in small regions on your layout?
That might not look too good, although the images quality should be the same on the display as it was when you uploaded them. Unless you put small images in a much bigger region.
What’s your CMS and Xibo for Android version please?
We tried reducing the number of images to 10 still have the same issues. We also made sure that the region is not larger than the actual image dimensions.
If you update the CMS, then everything should be fine, no down time (small window in which CMS will not be fully accessible - while you run the update wizard).
As for android clients, if they are rooted, you can update them via CMS, please see ‘Auto-update on Rooted Devices or DSDevices Hardware’ section of this post Upgrading Xibo for Android
If they aren’t rooted then you would need to manually install 1.7 R61 on top of your existing version (do not uninstall it).
That also shouldn’t cause any interruptions (well a moment to upgrade version of course, but that’s all).
