Please Help Skipping a Sequence


Ricky Parker

Recommended Posts

I made some sequences and my 1602 MP-3 was not playing so I downloaded the update 2.6.2 and it didnot work but Dan helped me through that as well as resetting my clock so my sequences are playing except for a new sequence i made last night after I downloaded 2.6.2, it plays properly in my sequence editor and it will load on my Simple Show Builder but it gets skipped in my show. I haven't changed computers or anything and I think the music is in the same files as some of my other songs. Any ideas?

Re-run the sequence through Audacity (See LOR Support page for help) again. Make double sure that it's an MP3 file.

Double (and TRIPLE) check that you are then writing the info to the card.

If it still skips ... I'm out of ideas.

If you used a WAV file and forgot to convert it to MP3 that is your problem. It will play in the Sequence Editor but not on any of the director cards, because they are MP3 only.

I got caught last year with that problem on one sequence.

I have bigger problems than the skipped song, my computer is popping up a window now which states "Please wait while Windows configures Light O Rama and it will not open the Sequence Editor, the Simple Show Builder, or some of the other App's. I removed the program reinstalled the program again and it continues to do the same thing so after doing this 4 or 5 times I removed it and installed my old Software Disc I had (Version 1.6.9) and it worked fine. Can I get another version that is not the newest one and see if it works?

As well as uninstalling, use the windows installer clean up utility documented here:

When installing again, do not install LOR 1 first. Install S2 from a file saved on a local hard drive. It may be a good idea to ensure that all windows updates are cleanly installed after uninstalling/cleaning up, and before the new install. I've seen complications from a failed/pending windows update install once.

Regarding the skipped sequence, check what the Status window's log says (click on the LOR light bulb icon in your computer's system tray). It should describe why it is skipping a sequence (assuming that the problem is not something like "the sequence is not actually in the show").

Also, you might want to check the LOR Verifier. It might show something about that sequence - for example, maybe the media file can't be found.
