We have a layout with on “A” a playlist of 6 video’s, total about 30 minutes long.

At “B” we have a single video for about 5 minutes.

I want the “B” video to loop until all the video’s of '“A” are finished. Right now, the only way to do this is to set “B” to a duration the same as “A”, and enable “loop”.

But whenever I change something in the “A” playlist, we need to adjust the “B” duration.

We use the “A” playlist for about 20 layouts, which all have a different “B” length.

This was no issue in Xibo v2. If there is no solution, we might go back to the v2.

I read something about setting a duration of 12 hours to all items, but I don’t think this is a good solution.

We can’t be the only ones with this problem.

Hi @Bobb ,

If you use a Playlist widget in the ‘B’ position you can put the video in there without loop set, followed by either a spacer widget with the duration set to 1 second, or another copy of the video and the ‘B’ playlist will then continue to loop the video for the duration of the layout.

Thank you! It works in the Windows player. (Not in the preview, but that’s no problem)
