I been having a bunch of problems related to sequences that I converted. I have a total of 13 sequences. 1 opener like 6 songs 6 voice overs and then a 1 closer. I have been unable to get them to all run in the scheduler. I was able to get the meat and potatoes to run meaning the songs.  I had them looping and it ran 3 times start to finish.
 
So I turned it off. And added a voice over. at the end of the voice over it would no loop.
 
I tried many different combination. in fact i think I tried them all. I could not isolate 1 particular sequence that was the issue. They would run in different combinations and roll to the next song w/o issue.
 
The high light here is the meat and potatoes plays all night long with out hanging.
 
But....
When I woke up this morning a few of my channels where still on... I went into the office and the program had completed error free but the lights were still on. I then shut down the scheduler and the lights went off.
 
I am at work right now and do not have my seq. files with me. I did email them to michael to look at though. from what I have scene so far from him the problem is probably already fix and a solution is in my email box at home! But I can't get to it Cry.
 
Anyways anyone else have this issue or know anything about it?

There are a couple possibilities...

Is it the same set of channels that are stuck on every time?

Okay, So I have added just a start and finish voice over. It has sucessfully ran through it's first loop and started back to the begining with no issues. It would appear that it is only if I add them during the loop.

Is there a way to have the voice overs just as an audio plugin that I could schedule at various time via new show times in the scheduler?
 
Oh and I throw on my snow blowers too! oustanding! I know from a software point of view that means nada but from mine it's cool as hell!

Ran into a similar probem early on. If the "Announcer" sequence(s) has no channels added to it, it will cause the scheduler to freeze up after the first run-through. Easy enough fix - just add a few channels.

OMG - I didn't think of that. In fact I programed (sequenced very generically) then cloned my controller and just changed the controller ID. Did all this in D-Light, and i'm willing to bet 50.00 thats exactly whats wtong!!!
 
Thanks much be back in a few to let you know the out come!

to
track#1  -16 and then 1-16
 
Same issue in between the 5th and 6th song it just hangs???
Gonna wait and see what the status bar says this time in scheduler

I haven't gotten a Vista box up to test your sequences on yet (I haven't been able to duplicate this with your sequences in XP), but I do have a hunch from what I am hearing...

Since we are talking about a 30 second not-so-complicated radio spot... Could you create a new sequence in Aurora (not an import) for the radio spot to test with?  If so, does the Aurora created one loop successfully or does it also interfere?
