Title: New Programming Problem
Post by: JimL on December 21, 2014, 07:07:56 PM

I'm setting up a show for a New Years Eve ball drop. The problem is when scheduling my countdown sequence it starts at 23:59 and runs 4 min. But the scheduler wants a end time. But it can't run over to the next day. So I broke up my sequence to a 60 sec countdown and Auld Lang Syne with a scrolling 2015. But the 60 sec count starts and stops (the latest time for the day) during the 23:59 span. Which Xlights won't let me do. If I'm making any sence....Help

Thanks, Jim

Set your timezone off by one or two. 10 or 11 pm becomes midnight
