How to fix the black screen between videos on Philips screens

Some Philips displays may show a brief black screen (around 1 to 2 seconds) when switching between videos. This is caused by how the internal player handles video transitions. You can eliminate this behaviour by following the steps below.

Steps to fix the issue

  1. Update EasySignage

    • Make sure the EasySignage app on the screen is updated to version 235 or newer.

  2. Disable transitions

    • Open the playlist or layer settings.
    • Set Transition to None.

Source Settings

  1. Republish the content
    • Click Publish to apply the changes to the screen.

Once these steps are applied, videos will play back-to-back with no or minimal black screen in between.
