k6ccc Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 This thread involves several things that show up in the player log that may actually be correct or intended, but seem odd. Some of these have existed throughout the S6 beta, and at least one (I think) is new with 6.0.10. Log extracts are from last night / this morning when I have an evening show that is scheduled from 1600 - 2300 with a trigger required to start the show (when it gets dark), and an overnight show that is scheduled from 2301 - 0700 with a trigger (when it gets light) that functionally causes the show to end (although the show player does not know that). I can explain how I do that if desired. In both shows, there is one Jukebox type interactive group with three input triggers that each trigger a separate sequence. Note that both shows ran perfectly.

It did not actually stop yet because the last musical sequence was still playing. The first question is the second line. The end time did not change as the log indicates, but rather the end time was reached. The second question is the third line. In previous versions, the startup trigger was logged as cleared at the time that the startup trigger was activated - at 19:22:57 in the case of last night. I do note that at the time that the startup trigger is logged as detected, there is no clearing trigger log entry as there had been in previous versions. I don't remember if this is new with 6.0.10 or existed this way in previous S6 versions. Quote 2022-09-04 23:01:00 Player Information L:\Sequences\Year round landscaping\Year-round_Overnight.lss - Playback File Initialization This line started at the time the overnight show was scheduled to start (but was waiting for the evening show to end). This log entry was repeated twice per second for the almost 2 1/2 minutes until the evening show ended. I assume this related to the overnight show scheduled to start, but unable to because the evening show was still running. But does it need to log 120 times per minute?

At that time, there were two animation sequences running: Landscaping overnight 2021-01-03.loredit, and an interactive animation: Show kill 2020-10-30.loredit. There is a 2 second shutdown sequence: Landscaping timed shutdown 2022-02-09.loredit The first question may be a nit-pick. The first line states ending show AfterSong. Since there were only animations playing, that should be immediately (which is what it did). May not be worth trying to change that one... Second question is same as at the end of the evening show - the log shows that the end time was changed as opposed to being reached. Third question is why did the stopping animation log entry (where I skipped a bunch of lines) log 20 times per second until the show actually completed? Last question. The log shows that the interactive animation "Show kill 2020-10-30.loredit" was ended at the end of the shutdown sequence. I would have expected it to end at the same time as the "Landscaping overnight 2021-01-03.loredit" that is in the animation listing.
