Kyle Whitaker Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Seems like I have a bug where some of the lights do not turn on during a few sequences. The behavior occurs with different lights on different controllers during different sequences but it's very consistent. So, in one sequence Santa body always stops working at 1 specific point. In another sequence the lawn lights stop working durning 1 specific point. I thought that maybe the last patch would correct this but it did not.

-klb- Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Unless you have your network seriously overloaded, with way too many commands at once, this type of behavior is seldom related to the software, and then, it is not so much the software, as just squeezing too much down a fixed pipe.Often cable faults, or electrical noise from being too close to power can create issues like this.If it is highly repeatable, I would wonder about channel issues. Have you run the LOR verifier, on the show PC? Do you have any CFL in the display, or on the same circuits? Any wall warts on channels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Whitaker Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 It is very repeatable. The channels work perfectly at all other times except at the specific point in the show. 10 controllers using 3.14 no cfls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Any sequences in the animation tab of the show? How many total channels? Any results from the LOR verifier yet? Duplicate channel definition is the most common cause of issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Whitaker Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Background sequence, 160 channels, wouldn't duplicate channels effect the show in more than 2 songs at 2 specific times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 It depends on what is in those channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I have a question for you...have you gone to your sequence, in the LOR sequence editor, and verified that the programming for those particular channels is still there, in the exact spot they are disappearing? Because I can recreate scenarios where the sequence editor will delete channel programming after you import new configuration file information ... which is what we usually do right before we start our shows because we want to update our box and channel numbers.

Had same symptoms. Wires even came up good on a tester! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Whitaker Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 solved! How dare I blame my problem on such great software!I removed the unused channels in the background sequence that is turning the projector on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
