HI,

I'm facing some issues with the failover as well.

Here is the status mib:

http.recover_timeout    T_LONG    500
http.recover_url    T_STRING    file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/deployment/xTAS-core/appgen/clad/http_pull_282_clad_274_.htm
http.failover_tries    T_LONG    1
http.failover_timeout    T_LONG    2000
http.failover_url    T_STRING    file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_2/deployment/xTAS-core/appgen/clad/http_pull_337_clad_280_.htm
http.failover_on    T_LONG    1

In order to test the failover functionality i'm doing the following:

I'm scheduling a presentation for 20 mins.

The presentation eventually initiates and during the playback(http streaming of the video file withing the presentation) i'm renaming the asset that is used in the presentation,thus creating a 404 HTTP status code.

This results in a black screen on the lcd but the failover never begins.

I can verify that both the recovery/failover urls are valid and present within the internal storage  and usb of the dmp.

Any suggestions here?

Thanking you

You can use the "Video Failover and Recovery" settings

on the DMP-DM web configuration.  Use a failover URL

to the video that is stored on DMP.

ie.  file:///tmp/ftproot/usb_1/deployment/content/failover.mpg

I have tested this and it works.

I hope this help!

Hi Tomas,

So it's advisable (best practise) to use a video file instead of a playlist (.html) as a failover ?

The Failover you choose should be based on your

content and your desired failover results.

You can choose either HTTP or Video Failover or Both.

It just depends on your content that you intend to use and

that will determine the conditions of the failover.

Hi,

I'm resuming this conversation because i'm still struggling to get the failover option to work!

First of all, is annoying enough that you find the Failover configuration in the DMP Gui  under two categories, Browser and Video Configuration!

Which one must be configured? Or maybe is it both of them?

Second, i have uploaded a local video file which i can confirm that is reachable,playable from the DMP ( since i can play this from "Play this video file locally"). When it comes to failover, it never starts, either in stage-1 or even in stage-2.

Can anyone provide me with some feedback?

Thank you
