filetme Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Hi all, First time setting up an interactive show and the tutorials are all based on the older versions of software. Currently I am at: LOR 6.1.0 I setup a sequence and then went into the CP and created a show. On the interactive tab I Added the Interactive Group Properties as Jukebox Selected the trigger on my input pup channel 1 Saved the show Then I went into Play Shows -> Show player I was looking at how to add the show as On Demand and could not figure out how to do that. When I tried to add the show file it would just disappear on me and in the Player Log it shows the LSS as starting and ending within a second ... Nothing ever happens so it is as if nothing is ever played. Has anyone run into this? I am probably doing something wrong because the software has changed. Much appreciate any information.

k6ccc Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I use interactive shows every night year round using Jukebox type interactives, so I should be able to help 2 hours ago, filetme said: I was looking at how to add the show as On Demand and could not figure out how to do that. On the S6 Control Panel, select Play Shows on the left. Near the top where it says "Current Show", to the right of that is a circle with an "!" in it. Chick that to request a Show on Demand.

k6ccc Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 To continue... Here are a few screen captures of my Evening landscape show. Hopefully this will help. As I normally do, if the image does not imbed, there is a direct link to that image below each image. Here is the Interactive tab for my Year-round_Evening show. There is one interactive group called Steps and it has three triggers: http://www.newburghlights.org/images/S6_Interactive-1.png In this image, I have selected the Steps interactive group, and the first trigger has been selected. Especially if you have multiple input triggers in use, I do recommend putting a useful name for that trigger. It makes it easier to troubleshoot in the Player Log. In my case, the name indicates that this input is Unit ID 09, channel 05 and is my Front Door. When that trigger is tripped, it will play the sequence "Steps up from door 2022-0209". This causes the RGB strips under my front porch steps to ramp up from top to bottom for 1 minute. http://www.newburghlights.org/images/S6_Interactive-2.png Here is an extract from the player log that shows that interactive in use: 2022-10-16 22:26:50 Player Information Trigger detected: In 09:05 Front door 2022-10-16 22:26:50 Player Information Starting Interactive: L:\Sequences\Year round landscaping\Steps up from door 2022-02-09.loredit 2022-10-16 22:26:55 Player Information Trigger detected: In 09:05 Front door 2022-10-16 22:27:07 Player Information Trigger detected: In 09:07 Walkway west 2022-10-16 22:27:08 Player Information Trigger detected: In 09:07 Walkway west 2022-10-16 22:27:50 Player Information Stopping Interactive: L:\Sequences\Year round landscaping\Steps up from door 2022-02-09.loredit At 22:26:50 I walked out the front door which caused the Steps up from door sequence to start. Note that if a trigger is continuous, the InputPup will resend the trigger every 5 seconds. So you can see that at 22:26:55, the InputPup sent the trigger, but because this is a Jukebox type interacve group and there was already a sequence playing in the group, the trigger was ignored. Similarly, at 22:27:07 and 22:27:08 a different input was triggered (In 09:07 Walkway west), but those were also ignored because the Steps up from door sequence was already playing. Does this help?

I did that but the interactive show starts and stops almost immediately without playing anything. Then it disappears from the currently playing list.

filetme Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Do the sequences need to be in the main tab? Or can the main be empty and all we have is the sequence being triggered in the interactive tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I gathering that you have absolutely no sequences other than what you put in the interactive group? Try creating a dummy sequence that uses a preview that only has one dummy (non existent) channel. Add that dummy sequence to the main tab of your show.

filetme Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Still working on this ... after I finished my workday I went onsite to gather the logs and my computer blue screened on me :S I am wondering if my issue could be a licensing one. I am currently v6.1.0 Pro ... Should interactive work for that license level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 My guess as suggested a couple days ago was because there is nothing in the show except the interactive. Create a preview that only has one non-existent channel and sequence that uses that preview. Add that to the show. Heck, I made it easy. I built a dummy preview and a dummy sequence for you. Go to http://newburghlights.org/share/filetme/ Download the two files and save them in the appropriate places. The dummy channel is on Unit ID 99 channel 1 (which I am going to guess is not used by you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I can just figure out why the routine won't stop running after the trigger is complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
