I have been working on this for several days. I can get anthias to install and run on my pi4b but if I add a mp4 asset it chops the first second or so of the HD video. Here are the logs from the screenly-anthias-viewer-1 container for the asset in question:

@anonpoet, I’ll check this one closely later.
In the meantime, you can install ffmpeg on your container by running the following commands:
cd ~/screenly
docker compose exec anthias-viewer bash
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ffmpeg
After running the commands, try running the following:
cd ~/screenly_assets
# The filename of the uploaded MP4 file is different from the original filename.
# It was renamed to <UUID>.mp4, so it's important to take note of the asset ID of your
# video via the web UI.
ffprobe [filename].mp4
One you got the output of the ffprobe command, please put the output here. Thanks.
Run the commands. Here is the output:

Thanks, @anonpoet. I’ll take a look at this one. Does the issue happen for all videos?
Yes it happens with all videos. The screen is blank for a second or two and then starts that far into the video. So the videos start at like second 2 or so. Thank you!

Thanks for your help. Let me know if you need additional info or logs and I can get those for you. Thank you so much!

@anonpoet, thanks. I’m still figuring out how to make the video appear on the first few seconds or so.
Same here. Also on Pi 4 with newly installed Anthias.
Okay. Thanks for you efforts on this. Let me know if you need any other logs or info.
Thanks again!
@nicomiguelino
While we are waiting on the fix for the chopping off the first few seconds of video, is there a work-around that could be done to get it working on the short term?
Thank you!
Troy
@anonpoet, apologies to for the wait. I’m still trying out viable long-term solutions, like switching to Qt as well. (Anthias currently uses VLC for Pi for video playback and Qt for image and web assets display).
I can’t seem to think of a quick and easy workaround yet, but you can try to add 1 to 3 seconds before videos before uploading them. You can use ffmpeg, for instance.
Hi @nicomiguelino - any update on this issue?
@anonpoet, still working on prerequisites and other housekeeping tasks like upgrading the codebase from Qt 5 to Qt 6. Based on my previous tests and proof of concepts, switching from VLC to Qt multimedia player solves the video chopping issue.
