The media playback looks different on a PC compared to the media player’s screen. (Wrong
aspect ratio)
The XDS-101 will always stretch contents to wide-screen aspect ratio (approx. 16:9), regardless of the
native resolution
of the video source. If you format your video for 16:9 (wide) in your editor, the
output should be correct regardless of the encoding resolution.
There are 2 major aspect ratios (width-to-height ratios) for video content, but many kinds of displays.
If you play 4:3 video on a 16:9 display (or vice versa), a circle becomes oval, and the picture takes on
a squeezed or stretched look. To avoid this distorted look, adding black bars are a common technique.
Some JPEG images cannot be played in the media player.
Progressive JPEG are not supported. Please convert to baseline JPEG for maximum compatibility.
JPEG images can be either of 2 types: baseline or progressive compression. Baseline JPEG offers
greatest compatibility, while progressive JPEGs are suitable for web site images. Progressive images
are downloaded and displayed “progressively,” being rendered more clearly as more data is received
over the internet. Devices with local storage such as the CF/Network Media Player are usually
incompatible with the latter type. Make sure to save images as baseline JPEG in your photo editor, or
resave them as baseline JPEGs using free tools such as Paint.net (
http://www.paint.net/
).
Does the media player support video streaming?
No, all media files are designed to play from local storage (HDD or CF card).
During content and schedule sync, contents are transferred to player’s local storage before being
presented on screen. This ensures the best possible presentation and fluid delivery of your video
message. Video streaming raises many playback quality issues such as image freezing, blocking, or
blue-screens, costing you valuable “air time” and losing your audience's attention.
The media player is not playing. What should I do?
Check the player’s messages on the display (OSD, or on screen display) for status information.
Since RISC-based media player usually lack input devices such as keyboard or mouse like PCs,
troubleshooting is usually based on user’s knowledge and experience with the specific media player.
First check the on screen message and stats reports. Bad play list and timing issues are two major
causes of playback problems. To determine if the problem is caused by a bad play list, just delete the
play list and restart player. The player should loop through all media files, indicating a fault with the
play list.
If the playback is scheduled to play at specific time, check to see if the device is set to the right time
zone on the world clock. When nothing seems wrong, the time zone setting is often the reason the
program is not played.
