Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: xScheduler and starting with lower priority playlist

Just adding one other additional note for community awareness - if I want to the show to kick off at 5:30 pm, running every 15 min, then I actually have the schedule start at 5:15 pm. The show doesn't actually start at 5:15 pm, but starts as planned at 5:30 pm. Strange but it works.

That did the trick Keith. Thank you!

For everyone's SA, I unchecked the "graceful interrupt" option for the "Show" schedule settings.

You'll need to power inject more often.

For full 100% brightness, 12V lights will need power injection around every 2 strings of lights connected (100 lights). Highest is probably every 125 lights, but you'd have to splice in a power tee.

I ran into a similar issue, also using WS2811 lights. I have been waiting on an extra power distro circuit board to arrive in the mail and in the meantime, I tried to lower the brightness to all the strands and my last section of lights wouldn't function properly because of the lack of proper power. I tried 50% brightness, but that just wouldn't work still, so until the circuit board arrives tomorrow, I disconnected those in-operable sections.

Thanks for the quick reply Keith. I made that tweak and will report back what happens tomorrow evening. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

First year here and I've been able to figure out everything through some trial and error so far except for this...

In xSchedule, I have 2 playlists:

• Show
• Filler

My "Filler" playlist is a simple display for when the "Show" isn't actually running. The "Filler" comes on as expected at 17:00. However, my "Show" playlist does not kick off at 17:30, even though it has a higher priority. The "Filler" just keeps playing on loop. Once I manually kick off the "Show" playlist, the priority works as expected for the rest of the evening.

Does anyone have any ideas why my higher priority playlist won't auto start after the lower priority starts first? Or does someone have a work-around recommendation?

I've attached screenshots of the xScheduler setup.
