mbettez Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 I know it may be tough to time it right but next time it hapens try to look at the controller and see what the status light is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the status screen and there was nothing to indicate any problem had occurred.I had the same thing happen last night. Weird part was the music was playing, but lights were not working. I could not get the LOR icon in my tray to open at all. I had to hard reboot and then when it came back on the icon was red, meaning shows were disabled, enable shows and it started up again.

ace_master Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I didn't do a reg wipe... if the following doesn't help, I'll uninstall LOR and do so.-----I just changed my show settings to 'load the sequences before they are needed'. Made sure all my sequences are loading MP3 audio files instead of the larger WAV files. I then transferred all of my LOR sequences and music onto my SSD C: drive.It could have been a file access issue in my case (I use network storage so I can access everything from every computer in the house... Although I can play MKV movies from the same NAS fine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my personal and professional experience NAS is best at data backups and with the right software as a media server. No matter the network connection (unless your house is wire with fiber), access times are gonna be slower than a HD or SSD in the computer that LOR is loaded on. I have also had issues when the network connection would "hiccup" at the worst possible time corrupting a file. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace_master Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I haven't seen the lights skip at all tonight after transferring all the files over, but after every song, my radio sign and inflatable motors are still turning off for anywhere from 3-60 seconds.I have a background sequence with JUST those two channels turned on that I have tried running this animation as a 'background sequence' as well as an 'animation sequence' in my shows with the "turn used lights off" boxes unchecked. It seems no matter what I do, these channels turn off between every sequence... and don't always come back on when the next sequence starts.

jeffl Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I have run the verify utility to make sure I don't have background channels in sequences and I still have this problem. Have had for the last two years for sure and maybe three. I think I'm overloading the single network I have causing it to stick (stop).I'm looking at getting these channels on another network (with little activity), either LOR or DMX to see if it goes away.
