Boater227 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I created several sequences in S5 and they control lights and play audio fine when I am playing in the Sequence Editor. When I put them together in a Show, I get no audio. What directory does the Show Player look to for audio files? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boater227 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 That is where I currently have all my songs. Do the sequences files themselves have to be in a specific directory? I have them all in separate sub-directories Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehoyt Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 the locations are defined by you. A good place to check what you have, would be open the sequence and use the one of the first 2 options under the "sequence" menu. Choose either "sequence information" or "file references". It will tell you where each sequence is looking for the audio files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Entertainer Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I'm having this same issue. did anybody figure out a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater227 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Not sure whether your issue is the same, but I found out after reading this forum that sequences are now compiled, and resulting compiled files are placed in a new directory. In any event, mine seems to work now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boater227 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 I just followed direction in this post: Although I don't have a separate machine for editing and showing, it cleared up how the new S5 version is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you move your audio, sequence files, or both to a particular folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater227 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 I just did a test to see whether the Control Panel gives you an error if your compiled files under Light-o-Rama > LORInternal > Playback can't find your audio file. If the original audio file can't be found (in my case I renamed it) the Control Panel gives you a bunch of error messages when you run the show On Demand from the Control Panel. Are you getting to the point where your 3 files are compiled i.e., the xxx.play.lms and xxx.play.lms.lcs and xxx.play.lms.pe.lid files have been created?

The Entertainer Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I may be on to something but won’t know until i get home to test, but tell me your thoughts. I feel like it has something to do with the file extensions of the show/sequences. Loredit vs. LMS or LAS. When i ran verifier, i kept getting errors saying the sequences wouldn’t load (.loredit)...... once i plugged in the .lms files, the verifier ok’d everything. Of course i won’t know until i get home to run a physical test with everything hooked up. any thoughts before hand? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMassey Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) I don't know if you have tried this, but start over from scratch. follow all these steps Make sure shows are disabled, Red Lightbulb. Open a sequence in sequencer and play it. Do the lights and audio work. Click file/create playback files If yes, close sequencer, and open show editor. Press the Plus button.. Do you see the sequences. In 5.2.4 they should be play.lms extension, NOT loredit If yes, add the ONE sequence you just tested to the playlist and save it as a new name, say Test or something. Make sure control panel is running. Right click light bulb, and click on show on demand. Choose the show file you just created. Show should play, and loop the single sequence. What happens?

The Entertainer Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 UPDATE: I got fed up, down graded to 5.2.4 and all is well just in time to light up the block this weekend! Thanks for all you help and suggestions though. hopefully the newest version will be bug free soon and we can use it more reliably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
