Player Version
3 R310.1
Hello!
We’ve been running Xibo for a while now with still images, and everything has been pretty good. I recently tried to add a video to a layout and we noticed that the video is running with extreme lag. For example, there’s 10 seconds between animations and the timing is anywhere from 30-60 seconds.
I have noticed that when Xibo is playing a video, the CPU useage has spiked to 100%.
I’ve tried compressing the video, and even re-encoding at 720p instead of 1080p. Same exact result.
When I go into the client’s asset library on the player’s disk, I can play the videos with WMP with no issues, everything plays as expected, and CPU usage is closer to 50%.
Am I missing something? Is this something that may be resolved in the version 4 client?
I don’t think the issue is the hardware. We previously used the same player computers with a different digital signage solution and we could play 1080p video with no issues.
