Cannot Play Video or Large PNG file

Anthias
1

I am running into an issue when uploading large png files(30mb) or video file to screenly. I have created a new application using balenahub, added raspberry pi 4 and still running into the issue. Smaller png and jpg are getting displayed as expected, but for larger png it should white screen and for videos it shows black screen. I can see an error while playing video but don’t know how to resolve it? While displaying large png I don’t see any errors. I have also tried to increase gpu_mem to 256mb.

Please let me know how can I resolve this?

30MB PNGs!? Yeah I’m not surprised the Pi will be choking on that. Many desktops would have a hard time loading that swiftly. Scale them down and try again.

Also, make sure you’re following the Balena instructions.
