Has anyone used the countdown effect with success?

Ok.  I scheduled the show to run in the player and it still will not update the time as it scrolls.

So frustrating.

Ok.  Where do you go to join these meetings?

I am thinking this should take less than 2 hours of work and I am willing to pay $100.00 for 2 hours.

Does anyone know of or can recommend someone who troubleshoots xlights for an hourly rate?  I am new and know enough to create simple sequences but I am running out of time. 

I have a holiday coro matrix that I have a sequence for and think I set it up correctly.  It displays two lines with "Happy New Year" and the second line is in the countdown mode (d h m s).  I can preview the display and I think I am working the scheduler correctly.  I can see the display on the matrix but the countdown feature doesn't adjust/countdown.  Scheduled the show and hooked it up to the matrix and it displayed the Happy New Year and the correct number of days until new year but would not update minutes and seconds as it scrolled from the left. 

Is it possible to get someone to remote in and review settings?

Great!  So it sounds like I am on the right track.  At this point I have not used the scheduler portion of xlights so I hope its user friendly.  Any suggestions on a good tutorial video for the latest version of the xlights  scheduler?

All,

I am new to xlights and I've been reading the manual and watching videos.  I have the following matrix:

I am trying to do a new years eve countdown on the matrix.  I have the first line scrolling "Happy New Year".  The second line has the countdown d h m s.  The text effect and countdown effect show up correctly and scroll from the left. 

Issue:  The countdown clock does not update or countdown the time. Whatever time it is when you update the effect is the time that is displayed.  Any advice?
