Title: Midnight December 31st 2017 Scheduler 2017.41 Closed show - Bug or Design ??
Post by: Tory Street Lights on December 31, 2017, 05:39:59 AM
My schedule runs through midnight each night until about 00.12 am (8.30 pm to 00.12 am) and has done so for the whole month without issue.  At midnight December 31st 2017 the scheduler closed the show at the end of the sequence playing at midnight, completely unexpectedly.  Is this a bug, or by design, it occurred on both Win 7 Quad-core machines running at the time, one running the show and the other a live backup.

Enquiring minds and all.

Since today is the 31st, How do you know what the scheduler will do tonight?  What is the end date of your schedule?

Sorry folks, I am in New Zealand, the first place in the world to see the "New Year" hence my heads up comment, the US will be some 17 hrs later as usual  :-)

Thanks Keith,  I will go and get hold of it  :-)  For us, in this part of the world, I will not need to worry about it until the 31st Dec 2018  :-)  I will admit it surprised me when it occurred, thankfully there were no public viewing at the time  :-)

I can't find the post on Facebook.

Do you know what the fix involves?
