I used Audacity to create 30 seconds of silence (30 seconds was the default, but you can choose any length of time you like), and then I created a sequence that I called, interestingly enough, "30 Seconds Silence". I went ahead and imported channels from the template, but you don't have to; just create a new channel and save. The "song" will loop until after the critical midnight time and that *should* keep the scheduler from running the main show.
It worked for me last night, but the caveat is that I've been testing a lot of different things recently so my configuration is different from yours. Edited by Jonathan - 07 Dec 2009 at 4:49pm |

I can't tell exactly what time it has started since my wife wakes me up to let me know but it sounds about right. By the time my wife told me about it, it had gone through the whole set. As long as we can get that bug fixed before the 23 of December, I'll be happy. Jonathan, when you say a short loop, with no lights, does it have a song as well? |

Jonathan,
That sounds like a good workaround until we figure this out. Has this happened to anyone at a time other than midnight?

FYI I've only had the problem occur the one time... *knock on wood*

Worth a try... I'm still testing a work around (meaning this may not work), but create a post show. One short sequence, all lights off. Then run it from 11:45pm to 12:15am the next day. The idea is that if the scheduler turns on by itself at midnight, it will continue to run the existing post show and then stop. I added a post sequence loop and things were fine last night (but that could have been good luck).

FYI- I have reports of this happening with 1.0.41 as well.
Hold on for just a bit longer. As soon as we get past the COM stability problems (the bigger issue) then we'll be looking into this in more detail. It is likely this will be fixed within the week. Others have reported that the false startups are at exactly midnight. Is this the case for you as well? |

And it did it again.
![]() When we install the program, if I was to install say 1.041 on a computer, can I just copy Borealis unto my other computer that has 1.068? Or is there other files that will need to follow? Or am I just better to just install 1.041? I'm starting to think that the last version with video support is the one screwing it up. When I turn it off in the middle of the night after it started on its own, I see about 4 or 5 tiny video preview windows in the background. |

Ok it gave me an error. I got home tonight from a party only to see the scheduler still running. It says:
Aurora encountered an unexpected error and will now reset. Debugging information: 3704: Operation is not allowed when the object is closed. Aurora.Scheduler.RefreshTick.0 Aurora.Scheduler.RefreshTick.0 Hope this will give some type of info to the beta testers. ![]() |

I wonder if there could be some feedback from the controllers up the computer via my cat 5 cable? I know this is far fetched but it is unseasonable mild right now and I can't recall what type of weather we had when it first happened.
No matter how you cut it, it is not a normal behaviour. |

I could have written this exact message. My show has been running and shutting down correctly since Black Friday. This morning I looked out at the weather and I notice that my trees are lit. Turned on my speaker inside and a song is playing. Looked at the screen and the status bar says it's playing my "weekdays" schedule. (I run later on Friday and Saturday) No error or anything to note...
