      How to fix freezing or lagging video on TV Screens that is part of a playlist campaign using Native Video Player

      Problem

      I experience issues with freezing or lagging videos that are part of a playlists  campaign on TV screens 

       

      Solution

      1. Create a new Remote DS campaign with the same content
      2. Under What tab change the Native Video Player option to YES

       

      Use of "Native Video Player": NO Use of "Native Video Player": YES

      Default option – Will display all videos that are part of the playlist in the web view

      		 Will display all videos that are part of the playlist in Android’s native player

       

      pros: 

      It will work with synchronized video, and transitions between elements will be smoother.

      pros:

      Videos will play without freezing or delay

      cons: 

      Some TV boxes don’t handle videos well in the web view, and parts of the content may freeze.
      Note: Try updating the web view or switch Use native video player to YES.

      cons: 

      - Conflicts may occur with synchronized video
      – Transitions between videos and other elements will NOT be smooth due to the switch from WebView to the native video player.
