Scheduler
« on: November 14, 2016, 12:23:18 PM »
Hi
Does the scheduler in xlights allow you set up a time to run the show each day or do you have to be present to click on "play list".  My guess is that it does not allow setting up a time to run as I only see where you put in the play list, enter a delay and then play the list. But maybe Im just not looking in the right spot?
Thanks
Jeff

Of course you can schedule a playlist to run in the future.  Its done on the Scheduler tab.

Hmmm, ok I was under the scheduler tab  only saw where you add the sequences, then set delay, then play. I didnt see anywhere to set up a date and time to start/stop...I will look again when I get home later..

first
1) create playlist. "Playlist,add". add fseq files.
2) next go scheduler  tab
"show date, change" to define the months that your show will run.
3) schedule playlist is next. you assign play;lists to dates. this allows a mon-fri, sat-sun, different week playlists to all get
4) "save schedule".
5) finally enable everything by clicking the "run schedule".

leave computer on for next few months. your playlists will play on date and time u selected

Thanks very much, and I just realized I was looking at the saved show tab, but I need to go back to the scheduler tab and set up the dates.
Thanks
