Hi !
So I’m using Xibo on Windows system, I have a server (Windows PC) and 2 screens link with it.
And my problem is :
When I play Layout1 on Screen1 and Layout2 on Screen2 on each TV, the layout restart after 1minute. Which is the interval collector. But with only one screen I didn t have this problem
And what’s weird is that they play the layout during 1 minute so its there OWN interval collection that create problem not the other one (but I m not totaly sure).
Layouts refresh after the the region with the longest durations ends, collection interval just impact how often players connect to the CMS to download new/updated schedule/content.
The PC Server is windows 10. And actually the problem is only when both client are connect. If I turn off one of them the other don’t stop and finish his layout.
So I’m pretty sure that the problem come from the fact there are 2 client.
And for that I follow the guide given here : http://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/install_windows_client_multiple.html
Edit : Maybe its something else than the collector inerval but I record the time before it restart the layouts and its 1minute and only my interval collector correspond to 1 minutes
So if you followed those instructions you have 2 Xibo for Windows players that are detected as one display in CMS.
You could change the hardware key in Xibo for Windows options → advanced tab.
No no I already change the Display ID and they don’t have the same content. This part is OK
I will try to take a little video to show you exactly the problem but it’s weird.
Only 1 screen : Layouts are well played
I add the second screen, each monitor restart their own layout after 1minutes
Ok so here is the video : Error Xibo
You can see that after 1 minute the ppt start again. (its the same with photo or video)
So I’m running some test right now, I try to put 5min interval collector on only one srceen. But result are crazy !!!
No matter which one have 5min (and the other 1min) they both restart after 5min !!
It restart after the maximum collector interval …
mm I have a question, are both your players local library paths set to the same path?
If so, well you might want to have separate library for each player and see how it will look like then.
Players and CMS library paths need to be separate.
In CMS settings you will also want to have fully qualified path to the CMS library. Please see ‘Library location’ section of this post Xibo CMS Post-Installation Setup Guide
Player just needs local library on the same PC that it is installed on.
