I installed various Android XIBO app (from version 4.401 to 4.408).
The content plays for a while (even up to a couple of hours).
Then at a certain point the video starts to lag and freeze (the video isn’t smooth.) Or a frozen black screen.
If I turn the monitor off and on again, most of the time it works again.
The monitor has a resolution of 5120x2160. (I created a custom resolution on XIBO.)
I created a playlist with videos and images of that resolution.
This is a common symptom when the player or SoC does not have enough resources to play the media. I know it all too well and was never able to truly fix it, but one of these three approaches should help you work around it:
Use a more powerful player (in your case, a stronger SoC).
Do not play videos, use images only.
If it still doesn’t work, search the forum for “HandBrake” and re-encode your videos accordingly: lower the FPS, bitrate and/or resolution
if I’ve well understood you are using the integrated O.S. (iiWare 11 / OS Android 13) as hosts for Xibo player. If Schweminska is right, and it seems he had the same issues before, so we can believe is trues. My advise is to give a try to convert your video in HLS streaming: as converting software I’m using ffmpeg, it’s free, but you have to hosts the streaming files somewhere using a web server. I think this solution is much more light and compatible for all players and their memory limits.
