I experienced it for the first time last night. I'm running 1.69 on XP. Didn't scare me since I had been keeping up with the bug reports. But annoying nonetheless. The anticipation grows for the next release!

Last night the ghost of Borealis paid me a visit, exactly at midnight. I'm running 1.69 on Vista.  Scared me, but at least it didn't interrupt an important evening activity Wink.

On my spiel sequences I play in between each song, I noticed some lights would stay on, specifically five pixels on two firefly strands.  It turns out that I had pasted an effect that went past the end of the song, and those pixels were staying on because of that.  Go to the end of the sequence, then press Page Down to scroll out past the end.  You can then use the info tool to ensure all the cells are at 0% or place a 0% intensity in all the cells (place a black color for RGB channels) and then save it.  Once I did that, my channels went off and stayed off.  Even if you didn't paste an effect, something may have caused a phantom event to be placed (say, a shared sequence with an audio file that was originally longer than the one you are using).

And I can confirm that a short post show (with one looping silent sequence and no lights on) does indeed prevent the main show from starting up again.  We are working on a new build right now that will resolve this (release date unknown).

I think this is probably a separate issue. I would expect Aurora to turn all lights off after playing a sequence, but it doesn't seem to. The way to get around it is to add an event very near the end of the sequence and ensure everything is turned off after that event.

Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

I'm also having this issue on winxp with the latest version of the scheduler (1.069).  Immediately after the show is scheduled to end, it turns on 4 of my channels (they are either channels 1,3,5,7 or 2,4,6,8; I'm not entirely sure which) and leaves them on until I stop and then restart the scheduler (it might be that if I waited until the following day, the next show would start).  I hope a fix is coming soon.

Well I did Jonathan's trick and it didn't come on. I set it at 11:45pm until 12:30am. I didn't get the elbow in the ribs so it must be a good thing. Wink

I'll give it a try. I'm fed up of getting the nagging elbow in the ribs followed by "Your light show is still on". Makes for very sleepless nights after being awaken that way! Tongue
