Hi everyone,

We have just released our latest Xibo for Android release. This release comes with two media player support updates, and one fix.

• Amazon Signage Stick: deeper device integration with support for Amazon RDM API: serial number, mac address, reboot, screenshot, screen on, screen off, mute, unmute

You can find instructions on how to utilise the Amazon Signage Stick RDM on page 6 of our installation guide.

Hello!

I’m having an issue with the latest release on my devices, I have the DSCS9X and DSDA1 and they periodically crash and fail to auto restart the app. I had no issues on 408 and 409, rolling back to 409 has worked for us. Not sure if anyone else has reported this issue?

Thanks,

Ben

Hey BenWood,

I ran into the same issues with my DSCS9X devices after updating them through the CMS. I ended up making a post about it, and later figured out a workaround to resolve this.

Xibo isn't responding / Stuck on home launcher selection after updating

After putting a new Android version in the CMS, some of the DSCS9X players display one of the following problems right after the update, or at random some time later. I’ve had this issue with upgrading to R406, R407, R408, and now R409. Xibo isn’t responding [image] Stuck on home launcher selector (usually resolves after a minute, but not all the time) [image] Is there a solution that can automatically detect if the player is in such a state, and resolve it automatically without having to u…

Hey MrStefan,

Thank you for your response, sounds like you’ve had a similar issue!

I’ll take a look and see if this is something I want to do, I don’t want to rely too much on custom scripts so I may just roll back to 409 until a fix comes out. I’ll report the error as I have a log for it and see if that helps the dev team.

Many thanks again,

Ben
