Is there a maximum file size for MRSS video files? I discovered that files that are more than 200MB big are not displayed. Simple File Network, newest version of BA, newest firmware, XD1030

    The biggest file size is 4GB (limit of FAT32 volume). What value for ttl tag is set in your xml/mrss file?

    The ttl tag is set to "30". Should I use a higher number? How does the ttl tag influence my MRSS feed?

    Yes, set it to 180 minutes for example. The ttl setting in the mrss feed is what determines if the Brightauthor switches over to the new feed.

    MRSS playlist logic:

        1. Unit downloads the feed.
        2. Sets a timer based on the TTL in the stream
        3. Starts to download and play the items in the stream
        4. Continues downloading and playing until TTL timer expires.
        5. After the TTL timer expires it download the feed again.
        6. It then waits until the end of the previous feed to switch to the new feed and goes to step 2

    I tried that and waited for about 3 hours, but the video doesn't show up. The video file is encoded the same way as all other files I've tried so far, the only difference to my other video files is that this one is larger (about 300 MB - other files larger than 200 MB didn't work either). I attached my project files to this post. Maybe I am missing something.

    Please test this mrss feed on your unit: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106638061/mediaRSStest/617mb.xml

    There are 2 videos (272MB and 345MB).

    How fast is your internet connection?
