There's only 37 not 150 . But thanks - Guess I need to rethink how I'm looping and split into multiple schedules. Run 1 loop for the first 4 hours then a shorter loop for the last 30 minutes.
Might be nice if the time check was done at the end of each sequence rather than the end of the loop. In that way one could exit the loop close to when the clock=end of schedule. Wouldn't necessarily be on the same sequence every time but would be close to the intended end of schedule without interrupting the currently playing sequence.

Not that I do but if I had 150 songs in my playlist, if I understand you correctly, scheduler would finish playing ALL 150 of them before playing the end of night sequence and shutting down the show? My show wouldn't shut off until morning?!?!?

The scheduler will go through the rest of the loop first, not just stop after the song it's currently on. So if your show ends at 10:00pm, and the first song of your 2 hour loop happens to be playing at 9:59pm, then at 11:59pm when the entire loop ends the scheduler will play your final end sequence. On the other hand, if your 10:00pm end time approaches, and your last loop song (say 2 minutes) at 9:59 starts, then at 10:01 when that last song in the loop is done playing, your end of show sequence will play and then it's light off.

I'm having the same problem that the schedule just keeps right on looping. 10PM is the end of my schedule. I thought it was supposed to complete the currently playing sequence then drop out and run the 'Run Once' at end. 10PM came and went. Sequences in loop list keep right on playing and Borealis never exited the loop to play the closing sequence. Had to manully stop the schedule.
My loop is about 2 hours in length but if Borealis is supposed to complete the currently playing sequence and exit the loop at the scheduled time the length of the loop shouldn't really matter.

Thanks Logan... I just created an end sequence and have it in place to see if that fixes the problem... Will let you know later.

Are you by chance using that "undocumented feature" which keeps the lights on between songs?
If so, this is why your lights are staying on... that undocumented feature will also hold them after the scheduler ends as well. To get around this you will need to create a "end of night" sequence to send the off commands.

Something strange is going on then, since if I enter say 5 sequences (in the loop area of the scheduler) and set it for 10-11pm, then it will get to 11pm (run the last sequence) and then stop. It's never kept looping

Yea, know... I had the same thing, I wanted the show to run one time, so I had it run from 7:00PM to 7:15PM and it just kept looping. I haven't tried it out for real yet. Not what I'm worring about at this point.
