I consistantly get the path not found error. I am saving to my jump drive (so I can sequence on different computers), but I am not removing the drive. It is a pain to have to delete the config.dat file everytime, mainly because it also resets the display size of the virtulizer.

Will look into the circle shape before 1.1... we probably broke something while fixing something else. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I have an error as well:
Aurora encountered an unexpected error and will now reset.
Debugging information:
6: Overflow
frmMain.AudioOverlay
LightsOnLoganSequencer
Before I installed this new version, I didn't have any errors like that. I guess I'll go back to the "old" version for the time being. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Overflow in frmMain.AudioOverlay can usually be fixed by deleting audiocache.dat and the contents of the /Cache directory. Aurora will rebuild the cache from the audio files as they are opened after doing so. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I just tried deleting the audio cache as well as the cache files and it still came up with the same problem/error.
EDIT: Now I'm pooping bricks....it won't even let me go back to 1.0.2 without giving me the same error....  ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Okay, with these issues... I really don't want to get stuck and not be able to sequence. How stable is it really? What kind of a timeframe are we looking at for these tweaks? ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Scheduler...
I lost the drop down for date selection. (No great deal, but it was a nice touch to have.)
I can't see all the shows for a given date. i.e. I can see a maximum of 8 shows. I want to run a lead-in, then 10 almost 1/2 hour shows. I would like the shows to start on the 1/2 hour. There doesn't seem to be a way to repeat shows on the same day at different times, nor does all 11 shows appear on the date. (I haven't tested to see if they will play or not.)

I would wait if I were you. The only way I could get my old version to run again was to do a system restore in XP. I'm still sequencing and this took me off track for a couple of hours. I'll pass until the next one. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

the drop down menu was causing issues in Vista users if I remember right. So now its a mm/dd/yyyyy format ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

Alright, so what's the timeframe for these issues to be fixed? I really don't want to update, but get locked out due to crashes. 1.0.2 is stable enough, I'll just wait longer for my ff tool ------------- Fine.

The reason that older sequences once saved in 1.0.25 will no longer work in previous versions is because of the way Aurora now handles different formats. Essentially, it's a different program entirely. I have nothing but good things to say about 1.0.25, as a lot of the issues I was having are gone now and a lot of fantastic additions were added. Just in case something random happens to shut Aurora down, I rely on the save button a lot more than I used to and even if I forget, the backup workspace has saved my butt a few times. I think 1.0.25 is a lot more stable than 1.0 ever was. However, if you are really concerned about upgrading, then simply finish sequencing with the version you've got now (but don't program any firefly commands), and when Michael gets the last few kinks out for 1.1, then upgrade. Just be sure to backup your sequences.

Well, it seems the 'unseen' shows will run, so perhaps move this from an 'Issue' to 'It would be nice' to be able to see all the shows scheduled on a given date.
Cheers!

Overflow errors and unable to use MP3s...
A few things to try:
1) Fully uninstall Aurora and reinstall it.
2) Run the wmfdist.exe file in the Aurora Sequencer directory (this will reinstall the Windows Media 9 encoder/decoder files that videoedit.ocx depends on). Contrary to the name, it doesn't do video editing but rather format conversions (MP3 support) and extracts the audio from video files (video support).
3) Verify that the file "eofft.dll" is in your Windows\System32 directory (it is NOT necessary to register this DLL).
This issue did not come up during beta testing so it is a huge surprise (it's the risk of things like this that kept this version from being labeled 1.1 instead of 1.0.25). Rest assured, we will be trying to replicate the circumstances which lead to this and other errors. We will be reviewing the list tomorrow a should be able to give a better time frame on fixes after then.
Any information you can provide (what OS you are using, how much RAM you have, what other programs were open) would be helpful.
1.0.0 to 1.0.2 did contain some serious issues that could lead to loss of work and/or unplayable sequences. This should be taken into consideration when deciding whether to upgrade or not. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Working on trying to reproduce this. Can you tell me was this a WAV or MP3 audio file? ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

We are trying (unsuccessfully) to reproduce the overflow error in the lab.
Is this a WAV, MP3, or WMA file?
How long is it (minutes:seconds)?
What is the file size (kB)? ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Is this happening on all your sequences or just one in particular??? ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

I tried more than one file. It was a wav file. I will try what Michael suggested about completely removing the program and I'll report back. what was weird was even though I had removed the newer version and reinstalled the older version, it still came up with overflow. I'm running XP on an ASUS P5N-SLI with INTEL dual core 2.34 cpu with 3 GB ram, and a GFORCE 8800 Video card. At the time, I had Outlook, AVG Anti-virus, Mailwasher Pro and Internet Explorer opened. Hope this can give a hint as to what might have happenned.

Ok I just got around in doing what was suggested for me to do. I removed the whole program from Add and Remove programs from Control panel, the reinstalled the new 1.0.29 version and had my fingers crossed. Well there was no kaboom. The program installed with no flaw and it ran a sequence with no problem. What I have done differeant than before was I used the uninstall by windows and not the Aurora install/remove/repair setup program.
So far, so good. I'll be pushing the limit tonight and if I have any issues, I'll post back. Thanks for all your help guys. Truly a tight community we have here!!! ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">
