LG webOS Tips and Tricks

You can press the yellow button on your remote control to view all Signagelive Player information, including Player serial number and build version.

In terms of how you achieve this, gapless playback can be achieved by creating a Playlist within the Playlist Creator and ensuring that it contains just fullscreen videos. The only video format supported gapless is MP4, LG recommends that all videos are the same resolution, however, during our testing we have found that videos of different resolutions play gapless.

To make your content completely gapless, your Playlist should only include videos of the same format (we recommend MP4) and ideally encoded using the same details as well (read more about that, here).

If you have followed the instructions and still find that your Playlist is showing black frames between the videos then we recommend you check whether there are black elements at the beginning and end of your videos. If this is the case then this will be causing the playback to show these black elements and will result in playback not appearing to be gapless.
