Backup image

Smil player has option to setup backup image to avoid black screen if something goes wrong during smil file download ( file does not exists ) or during XML to JSON conversion ( invalid XML ). Default backup image is provided by SignageOs, which is locally stored in SMIL player repository. Currently, only single image is supported.

Setup​

There are two options how you can setup your backup image.

Option 1 - image stored locally in smil repository​

Store image locally in public/backupImage/backupImage.jpg file. Name of the backupImage has to be backupImage.jpg at the moment.

Option 1 - provide url to image via timings in Box​

Url has to be stored in backupImageUrl variable in timmings in applet definition. Name of the file does not matter in this case.
