Flash clock not showing up and Windows Media embedded runs multiple instances

Are you using 64 bit Windows?

Both the server AND client are running XP SP3 32bit.

Which version of Flash?

I don't think we've tested with the 10.1 pre-release yet.

Can you remove the ticker from the layout completely and see if anything changes.

The client is running Flash 10,0,45,2 and removing the ticker does not solve the problem.
The flash clock is still missing and the WMP stream is opened twice (with approx. 0.5 second interval)

On opening Task Manager it has come to my attention that XiboClient is running 100CPU and building up RAM (360.292kB and counting) while the app has given the command to close

Lets work on one thing at a time!

Can you now remove your embedded WMP control too so you just have the one region with the flash in it. Does the flash show then?

Make sure to manually kill off any XiboClient.exe processes as well before you run the client again.

It did work for a second, but it shows the flash twice and both only half (cut horizontally throught the middle)

So i tried to adjust the size and parameters, but then it didn't showed the flash object.
And then i cleaned the local library, which also didn't helped.

How are you putting the flash on the page? The Xibo flash media type doesn't take any parameters?

i'm embedding the file by storing the file on my webserver and then using a fixed link to embed it in the client

Now i'm trying to use the built-in flash methode by uploading the swf, which also shows nothing.

OK so we're not dealing with a Xibo FlashMedia item at all. Embedded webpages/embedded HTML are handled very differently to Flash media items so it makes a big difference.

Can you send over the XLF for the layout from your local library directory to <email address hidden> and I'll take a look at it.

I think i've found the problem. It looks like the flash object won't appear if i put a ridicoulus number as a duration, i've now set it up as 60 seconds and it shows up instantaniously

OK so now add in your other two items and see if they work too with sensible durations.

Alex

Flash works, Ticker works, but the stream is running twice again.

I am using the following embedded code with a duration of 360 seconds

      <OBJECT id='mediaPlayer' width="320" height="240"

        src="http://www.true.nl/streams/slamfmlivestream.asx" autostart="true" designtimesp='5311' loop="true">
      </EMBED>
      </OBJECT>

I've put that exact code in to a test client and I'm not hearing an echo.

Try restarting the client a few times, i've trimmed the code by deleting the EMBED parameter. And aster cleaning the local library it seemed to fix it but after restarting it again the stream opened twice and the flash stopped when the audio started. I'll think i'll use an external player in the background for the stream.

OK
