We have a LS422 that we are wanting to stream a MRSS feed from a Photobucket account. Everything looks to work perfectly fine when we create the layout but when we publish the project to a SD card nothing happens. I have checked the port the player is connected to and it can get outside the network. I have also checked through the diagnostics tools and I can ping outside the network just fine.
Any ideas
Can you provide the MRSS feed link?

Well I just figured out why the feed didnt work, the space in the folder name, but now I have ran into another problem. The pictures seem to display for 2-3 seconds then go blank for 8-10 then it switches to the next photo displays for 2-3 seconds and goes blank. What could be causing this?
Spaces will work, but the URL needs to be properly URL-encoded, so the proper URL would've been

Photobucket's direct image links do a redirect to an HTML page version when referenced directly, not sure if it's related.
Does your presentation just have an image zone with the MRSS Feed or are there other zones?
2 zones, one is a static image on the screen that is a background and the MRSS feed plays on top of that on the side

Please post your BrightAuthor presentation (.bpf) file, or if you don't want it public, create a support ticket online or by emailing support@brightsign.biz
Uploaded the file with some sample data on it. Really we are wanting to have a background static image then post newsletters or company wide pictures/updates over, nothing that complicated
Z-order for overlapping image zones is not defined.
To reliably get your image behind the MRSS images, create a Background Image zone and put the image in that zone. Note that Background Image zones use the video player and you can only have one Background Image zone in a presentation.
Just created a presentation with a Background Image Zone and its staying black the entire time
