3. My Player only shows the 4YouSee logo with the message "Loading files"

You must verify that all the contents of the playlist associated with the player have an invalid schedule. If all the content is programmed in an invalid way, 4YouSee player will not display any content.

To rate this, in the main menu of your 4YouSee account, click Players > Players. In the row of the Player you want to click on the playlist associated with the player to edit.

 

4. The monitor does not play videos with audio

Check the volume level of your monitor.

Attention: Videos must be standardized with the same audio codec.
The supported audio codecs are: aac, mp4, x-m4a, mpeg, x-mpeg, x-mp3 and mp3.

 

5. Videos are shown with black stripes

The LG monitor only displays videos in 16: 9 aspect ratio.

Examples: 1920x1080 or 1280x720.

If the videos on the screen do not belong to this resolution, the screen stretches the video in the total available area and will calculate the proportion available for the video.

For videos other than 16: 9, only part of the video will be displayed in the available content area.

 

It is recommended that if it contains a 16: 9 aspect ratio and changes with the layout, the main area to play video from is a 16: 9 aspect ratio.
