I have not. I don't like messing with things too much while the show is up. I'd do it someone could convince me that this is likely to fix the problem and not just a "did you try turning it off and on again" thing lol.

No ideas anyone? I turned off "Show Player Memory Restarts" thinking that might be related. But then now I lose the protection of memory restarts <shrug>

I don't run my main show from a mac, but I have sequenced on my mac plenty using VMWare fusion (similar to Parallels), and we have run a small halloween display from the Mac as well. Works just fine.

Hi all: I'm still running LOR S4. Upgraded my show computer from XP to Win10 over the summer. Twice now this season (out of 5 nights running), my schedule has disabled itself. Fortunately I was around the first time and noticed it not start up the next night, and tonight I was on the show computer tweaking the schedule and noticed it again. I've attached a screen shot of the message I get. Basically as the show shut down last night I get "Show Player Shutting Down for Restart", then "Show Player Shutting Down". After that I get the status "Scheduled Play is Off" Can someone tell me what thi

Thinking of Dan & Co during this time. Hoping that damage and financial setback to the business is minimal. Keep us posted, please.

It's pretty simple to reproduce: Steps: 1) New sequence, add at least one RGB channel 2) Tools-> Channel Configuration 3) Attempt to delete the RGB channel by deleting its components* 4) Say Yes to the "Are you sure" dialog 5) See the error mentioned in the original post. * The Channel Config is not smart about groups are RGB channels. There is no way to delete an RGB channel from the Channel Config dialog, at least in S3 which I'm still using. This seems to be a major omission. But in the meantime you can only delete RGB channels by right clicking on them in the main SE wind

It's super easy to obtain a piece of coro (Home Depot sells it), trace out whatever you like, and punch out a design with an awl or something. I've never really understood why people pay so much for pre-punched coro props when you can create your own, 100% unique ones so easy and so much cheaper.

Other then someone mentioning they found a workaround on the LOR-UG group nobody was even TALKING about Facebook, so the little aside about that group was off topic at best and obviously caused frustrations to flare up even more. Let's stick to the topic - getting to the bottom of this nasty bug. I'm still running S3 this season (for reasons that have nothing to do with my trust in LOR's upgrades and everything to do with my personal schedule this year) so I'm not affected, but as a developer I know these sorts of issues can be really frustrating to track down when you can't reproduce them in

There's a recent post by "Dan Baldwin" in that group, and there's some thought that it may not be authentic. Can you confirm or deny that the real Dan Baldwin wrote that post? If not, he should probably report the account to FB as an imposter. I wouldn't expect an unofficial FB group to be moderated in the same way a vendor forum is. In general I hang out there to have some fun and hopefully help with some folk's issues along the way. Haven't been on these 'official' forums (or any other forum for that matter) much at all in the past year or so but I do get on FB regularly so it's nice to hav

Just for completeness, here is a video of our fountain, made with 4 of the $24-ish Ray Wu DMX floods. Note that these are NOT intended to be submersible, but I beefed up the waterproofing of them and they've now been through two seasons of summer use with no issues. Really looks great and I get a lot of complements on the. The shown sequence is really basic and is the sort of thing we run most of the time. I do have a peppier red/white/blue one I use for the 4th of July. I run it off of an iDMX in standalone mode. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10200985306702113&l=310786706210

This Saturday is the "big event"! Directions can be found here: http://www.plymouthlights.com/map.htm We'll start socializing around 8:30 and get going 'officially' around 9 or 9:30 probably. This one's going to be really informal as I just haven't had as much time as I'd hoped to pull things together. But I think it should still be a lot of fun and there will be information shared I hope - I'm depending on all of you for that! Here's what I have for an informal agenda (not necessarily in this order): Introduction roundtable, what's new with your display, etc. HLS: Gary LOR: George Simmons

Just bumping this thread - the more the merrier

If there are any vendors or individuals that would like to donate some door prizes in exchange for some exposure to those at the MINI, please PM me. Thanks!

Hi all - In case you haven't heard, we're planning on the annual 2014 MiniSota Christmas event on Saturday June 14. This year the event will be hosted by PlymouthLights in Plymouth (16700 33rd Ave N). If you're in the area, we'd love to have you. If you've never been, the events tend to be rather informal but a lot of good information is shared, and plenty of good conversation and fun takes place. Planned topics included various sequencing software options, pixel control, general decorating techniques, and plenty of other conversations. As far as the schedule goes, let's planning on gat

If I were LOR I'd just end the sale altogether. If they need to clear out some items, just list them at a lower price on the website and those who notice it get them. Every year it's whiner after whiner, and no matter how fair and explicit LOR tries to be, the whiners and entitlement mentality babies just cry and cry about how evil LOR is as a company and how they'll never deal with them again.
