Could you check if currently assigned defalult layout is valid in the CMS?
Check library paths ie
for CMS in CMS settings -\> library path, it needs to be fully qualified path, please see ‘Library Location’ section of this post - [Ticker RSS Custom Tag](https://community.xibo.org.uk/t/xibo-cms-post-installation-setup-guide/5221)
For player, it would be probably best to leave it in the default path and see if that helps, default ie
`C:\Users\\Documents\Xibo Library`
Could you also please open php.ini, find this line
`always_populate_raw_post_data -1` and make sure it’s not commented out (no `;` before that line in php.ini)
restart your web server after this change.
