Randal Trecha Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have had a problem with my Showtime Director. I download musical sequences and some wouldn't play at all .Also if I load multiple sequences on the SD card I can only get than 1 sequence to play.Tried reloading several times but when playing the show, only one sequence runs.???

Older versions of the software would let you write a .WAV file to your SD card for a show. The Showtime Director only handles MP3. (Newer versions of the software won't let you add a .wav file, though off the top of my head I don't recall which version level that started with.)

Guest wbottomley Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Check your selector switch located on the director card. And, what version of firmware are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randal Trecha Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Selector switch set to "A"firmware, I believe is ver 4.40, that's the indication from the hardware utility window, i.e. "09 -CTB16D Ver 4.40" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rise Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just some thoughts (some already mentioned)....1. make sure your mp3 files are all 128bps2. Make sure you create a SHOW using the simple show builder3. When you make the show, be sure to select the show director as the device you are using to run your show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
