Pretty upset

I know that I had a few issues this year as well.

I took my sequences from last year that were built in Aurora and imported a new channel template.

I did this because I added some controllers and wanted to save what work I had done from last year and add to it.  I updated all of my songs in order.  2 of the songs would cause the scheduler to crash at odd times requiring a reboot.

Once I finally figured out what 2 songs were causing the trouble, I started from my original 2008 sequences.  I would load 1 sequence, import my channel files and save them.  Then I would reload Aurora Sequencer load in the new file and make changes.  Once I did this, I had no issues and the show would run without fail.

It was frustrating because I did not know if I had a hardware issue with my scheduler machine, or if it was software, or if I did something wrong. 

The stars aligned and the show went on with very little problems once I figured this out.

I got the files downloaded but when I try to load them Aurora crashes.

I tried to download the dls files - can see them there but get page not fould when trying to 'save target as'. Could never look at them to see if I could help you at all.

There are only two cases where events can be unbound from timeline markers:

1. Use of the W2E tool.  Using W2E places events in the sequence without assigning them editable markers.

2. An incorrectly imported file (particularly prior to .69 which corrected a significant LOR2 importer issue).  While we think we've corrected all of the import issues, it is possible there could be something we didn't spot in testing.  If you have a file that doesn't import properly in the latest version of Aurora, please let us know so we can fix the importer issue.

In both cases, unbound events are still able to be removed with the delete tool.

I agree with bdkeen, the problem can come from an imported sequence. Especially if you leave in the old channels or reuse old channels in the imported sequence. If you use an imported sequence use your own imported list of controllers and channels and delete the original channels when finished and mysterious thing will probably go away. I just had this happen on a new sequence. It all looked correct on the screen but when I ran the sequence random blips could be seen, (well only by me since I knew what was supposed to be on/off). However at the end of the sequence it ran over by as much as 30 seconds of just random flashing lights. Deleted all the imported channels and Poof! the random c*%#^p vanished.

Happy New Year

Party Hearty but drive safe!
