Cisco Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Streamer Maintenance Manual

NOTE: As a series of content items transition in a playlist (such as

advertisements in Region 2 of a standard 3-region L-wrap

template), there will be some variance in the appearance of each

content item as the media player displays where that content is

presented. Each content item will generally appear on all

corresponding media player displays within about one second of

each playlist item transition. However, the amount of time that it

takes for all displays in your venue to show the same content item

within a playlist might exceed a one-second duration based on the

following venue conditions: Network infrastructure, number of

regions on the display, number of content items in the playlist, and

the playlist duration.

Consider the following restrictions and expected behavior when configuring playlists:

Single video loop—You can configure a playlist to loop continuously when you

have a playlist with a single video content item set for a duration of zero, with the

playlist duration also set to zero.

Single non-video loop—You can configure a playlist to loop continuously when

you have a playlist with a single non-video content item by setting the item

duration to -1, and setting the playlist duration to a number greater than or equal to

zero.

All playlists will loop their content (for example, once the last item plays, the

playlist restarts with the first item) unless a duration of zero is configured on the

first playlist item.

To run a playlist one time, you can specify a duration of zero for the last item in the

playlist. There is different behavior if the last item is a non-video item versus a

video. If the last item has zero duration, and once the rest of the playlist items run,

then if the last item is a non-video item, it continuously plays for the duration of the

state. If the last item is a video, the video plays one time followed by a black

screen for the duration of the state.

If a change is made to a playlist and the playlist is currently being displayed, it is

possible that items in the playlist that are past an item in the playlist with a

duration of zero, could get displayed and the playlist continues until the item with

zero duration is reached again.
