Hi,
I created a custom bottom border and it works well. But when I try to upload my custom banner it says it uploads but when I refresh it reverts to the default banner gif.
I am using the web interface to upload the banner. I even tried to ftp the banner but it breaks the upload function.
I have had this issue on version 3.0 - 4.0
Thanks,

what do you mean when you upload with FTP "breaks the upload function" ?
Re: Top Banner not working
When you upload new banner always go in the web interface > SYSTEM > CLEAR CACHE , and then also refresh/reload to see the new banner......bigmix007 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 1:05 amHi,

Re: Top Banner not working
Hi,
I tried clearing the cache on version 4 and it still is displaying the default banner.
I uploaded the new banner and then cleared the cache and then updated/refreshed the poster.
As for trying to FTP the new banner it did not work, I put in under /var/www.htmal/banners/ and named it playing. By doing this it broke the upload function for playing now banner.
I am using a Raspberry pi 3b+.

Re: Top Banner not working
dont forget all the banners in the folder /var/www/html/banners/ has NO extension! , so if you upload your banners with SFTP dont put any extension (jpg , gif , png)bigmix007 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 4:11 pmHi,

Re: Top Banner not working
Hi,
I got this issue resolved. I had to re-flash the sd card and it started working.
I made sure to upload the top banner first for playing now.
This seemed to make the software respect my settings.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Top Banner not working
I tried Clear Cache in the web interface, then checked the Cache folder. Looks like it isn't clearing.

Re: Top Banner not working
I have this same problem every time I change the top banner. clearing cache and refreshing do nothing to change it. But for whatever reason after some days the banner will change on it's own.MidnightWatcher wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 8:18 pmI tried Clear Cache in the web interface, then checked the Cache folder.
