Wayne K Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Is there a way to preset the volume? It seams like if you close out the program and come back into it and then have the tones turn it on, the volume goes all the way up.ThanksWayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to adjust the Windows volume for the PC sound card(s) and input to your desired level since Zara will default to maximum. I do not know a way to make the Zara volume "stick."

Are you confused on how to activate the satellite without clicking the button manually?Appreciate your patience - and I feel i know / can figure out the scheduling, although I have not been successful in doing so as well as failed the connection in my audio queue. Wonder what other issue i may have. But please feel free to enlighten my soul to your thoughts Michael. What is on your mind. BTW, am using a second audio card SB Live - bringing the satellite signal from the on-board output to the SB Live line input..BTW, ever see any delay in the audio with this setup - i would hate to have my sound delayed to my LOR show - I have characters that speak and sing, and even a slight delay makes em look funny.http://www.papasplace.us/video/2007HolidayLightSpectacularMQ.wmvWhat problem are you having? I thought everything was working fine but you had to manually click the button to get it to work after disconnecting. You'll want to send pictures of either the queue setup or the schedule with the satellite connection so we can tell you where the error is. Those are the only two solutions i know other than clicking the button manually.Or let us know exactly what part is breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have the full miniplus presentation and then some. Give me 2 weeks or so...Hey Michael...What's the status of the tutorial?Thanks for your hard work on this!50% give or take. The said miniplus presentation (introduction to zara) is done. The final copy of that spun off the computer yesterday. The second video (zara integration to LOR) is taken but not edited. The third video (my setup with all the bells and whistles) is not started. The webpage also has a good start to the text portion. Kevin motored through all the files, so I have those too. I'll probably be close to wrapping up the video portion (30+ minutes) this weekend, and then integration into a web page will begin.If you have seen any of the other videos on http://LORsequences.com, you'll see these things are very detailed. I'm reorganizing the so called "Sequencing 101" on LORsequences.com, and rebranding it into a new structure which doesn't limit to LOR (and thus supports this tutorial.) So this little project has breathed new life into that project which has been dead for over a year. I am hoping to add a few chapters this year, particularly on a couple subjects like this one that have taken interest lately.At any rate, end of August is the target.Your web site refers, to another web site to download Zara Radio. Yet at http://www.zarastudio.es/index.html/downloads/zrfree/en its a bad link. I have been trying to download it for months, and cannot find were to get it. Any ideas?

I ran into a couple that contained trojans and fortunately my antivirus program warned me.Here is the URL to a safe version that I posted on my web. I use this version...http://magiclightshow.com/bb/index.php?topic=110.0Also, I have never had any problems with ZRYou have to log in? to download?

michael.farney Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 LOL, I gave a good link. You can't fault me when the Zara Radio site itself messed up their own page. If you look at the bad link on the zara radio page, it's very easy to reverse engineer the correct link.http://www.zararadio.com/downloads/Cheers.

Set the maximum wait time to be 5 minutes on each one, and you'll have a weather announcement every 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'll continue on with this thread.My ZR has been working great until today. Now the DTMF tones will not work. The only changes made to this pc were a new media drive added.Everything is connected right with both sound cards but can't figure out to save my life what the heck is happening.Rebooted the pc twice, toggled settings around in ZR and still nothing.At this point, I will add an event to stop the show immediately at 5:59:02pm.Thoughts....

So i shut it down 15 seconds before my LOR show starts. I listen to it, and its pretty slick with its fade out and 10 or so seconds of silence - then BOOM Light Er Up! (Kind of like get-er-done, but for LOR users....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You double checked DTMF is still enabled? Your satellite button is pressed down? Check your ZR log. If ZR is detecting the tones, it will make an entry in the log. If there is no entry, then ZR is not "hearing" the tones, which means you have a setting problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidt Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 G'day All,I've been reading this thread for the last few weeks and it has been very helpful. Thanks also to Michael for the tutorial, which was great.Does anyone have a script, or application, that automatically updates a text file with lst of what songs have been played today and the time they were played?I've got a test web page that updates / displays the current song playing every 30 seconds, through an iframe, and would like to do add something similar that displays a list of what has been played today.Thanks in advance,davidt, Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
