James Hill Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I had an older version of S5, didn't uninstall just loaded 5.5.14...seemed to work...I can load Sequence Editor and play back any of my sequences (takes a bit to load now). Now I am running Hardware Utility and it finds all controllers...clicked on Verifier and LOR cannot find anyANY of my sequences. Should I uninstall and reinstall to the most recent version? If so, how is the right way to remove and re-install without loosing the sequences. Sequence file does not exist Error 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Yes go to 16. see the posts above No need to uninstall if you are going "up" usually. BUT you should ALWAYS be backed up, you never know....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMassey Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Unload control panel first and any other lor programs. If the installer is hung I suggest you reboot first, then unload CP the start the install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Verifier is not reliable. Why are you checking it. Don't you know where your sequences are. Create your show. Run Sequence Compressor on the show file LSS and when it completes play it on demand to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hill Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 I saw the "Use Compressed Sequences" was checked in the menu under the Light Bulb icon. Never used this before...started compressing each sequence and saving it...checked the verifier and it seems to reduce the errors as I complete each....now....in Show Editor do I select these new files? becasue the icon states it is a Text Document? Thanks for the help so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Here's how it works. You create the show using your LOREDIT files. Save the show file. Open sequence Compressor, Right click on light bulb Sequence Compressor. In the compress a show, choose your show file LSS. and compress. It may take a little while. Compressed sequences is better checked but you are not just compressing files, you are also creating the playback files as well. These files are ALL created in a hidden folder in the LORinternal folder. You don't need to do ANYTHING to them. Just play the above showfile on demand or scheduled and the show player will know where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good evening Sir. I, too, am having issues. I hear my show audio, but cannot get my lights to function. I saw where you said you compressed your sequences. I am new to the whole s5 software this year. Can you explain how you did that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I haven't been on-line....hope you got things going...I see PhilMassey replied to look at his previous post. If you clicked on the lightbulb icon and look at the pop up list...you should see the compress heading...you can compress the sequence, the show, or the whole schedule.
