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.
