I'am testing and learning. The Android version support bigscreen (when multi monitor) parameter with HDMI hub and 2 or more screens like Windows 10?

X96 Android TV Box Android 5 or 7

Gracias !!!

Bigscreen means multi screen which are combined as a large virtual screen. In linux this is called Xinerama and I think Windows names it is the extend mode.

Currently, I have no experiences with multiple screens in Android, but some days ago a customer sends me an interesting Android device with two screens, which can operate separately. I haven't gotten around to looking into it. Do you mean this with HDMI hub?

¡de nada!

Thanks for the reply. Yes, with and HDMI hub. I'm testing in Windows 10 with two monitors. My index.smil have two videos loaded locally in c:\garlyc\1.mp4 and 2.mp4 with bigscreen parameters. The videos expand across the monitors very well but now I want to test regions with this sample:

Only the videos are displaying. Not the logo or imagen1. Any help?

Holà, Images needs a duration (dur-attribute). You can set a time img src="imagen1.jpg" dur="20s" region="slideshow" or img src="imagen1.jpg" dur="indefinite" region="slideshow"

btw.: mediaOpacity is not supported currently, because there are some caveats with videos. I would suggest to use a png-logo and set the transparency of the image.

Woooow !!! It worked. I'm testing many programs, tricks, etc. to do a low cost digital signage in libraries. Maybe will prepare a talk about it for a regional library association in Baja Mexico. By the way, can you share a tutorial and the smil file used in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWcRfZrVPSA&t=12s

Thanks.

That could be complicated. The SMIL-file came from SmilControl-CMS (more info https://smil-control.com). The background image is a so-called channel (a commissioned work for a customer). In this case it shows the four closest German pharmacies. This kind of content creates every day automatically depending on the player location.

The program right bottom is a regular sequential (seq) based playlist. No rocket science. Something like:

Many thanks. With the htm bug resolved I think can do something similar.
