Hi,
So I have a Pi setup as FPP Remote to show my virtual matrix on a screen, which I use for tune to sign.
Then I also have a sequence which i use a mp4 and when played it will play the video full resolution on the screen.
Initially I had a stutter and ghosting effect where video file was played more than once and it was due to the sync packets. After I turned off sync packets like @keithsw1111 suggested here (https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/xschedule-and-fpp-remote-playing-a-video.11988/post-105230) the video now plays fine.
So I am observing the following things (in xschedule I am using FPP Broadcast , I've tried multicast as well - results are the same)
- Any sequence playing that I have put the tune to on the matrix, will play fine on the screen, but once a video is played, after that it will not play anything that was done on any sequence to the matrix, only videos. Only way to fix it is to restart fpp.
I then tried creating a sequence with only the matrix and put a tune to banner on it and then load it into xschedule as its own playlist, If i play it directly it is showing, if i set this up to be the background playlist, it will not show.
I tried one sequence that has nothing on the matrix and in xschedule I put the eseq file of the "tune to" to play along with the sequence (also uploading all the files to the pi), it also doesn't play.
So gathering from this, I can either edit all my sequences to have the tune to sign to go on and off where I want and then not play any video files.
or after playing a video file issue a request to restart the pi.
- Or, the best outcome for now is to find a way to get it to play the tune to sign and virtual matrix stuff in the sequence after a video is played. Is there some setting I can set to get it to reset itself after a video file?
or just ditch the fpp remote and run a long hdmi cable from the show pc to the screen.
