Xlights scheduler - “stop all” not working
« on: August 06, 2019, 06:09:06 PM »
Evening everyone!  It is that time of the year again.   I have a very simple show - only 24 channels of AC lights.   I usually take a break from things for the first half of the year, then about July/August download the latest version of xlights and start testing.

I downloaded 2019.33 and I noticed that when attempting a “stop all” command from a play list in the scheduler, it does not stop any of the lower priority play lists.   Once the playlist with the stop all command runs and finishes with the stop all command, the lower priority playlist picks up where it left off.

Last year I had a similar issue, however last year it was causing a crash.   This year it just picks up where the previous playlist left off.

The “stop all” button at the bottom of the screen does work as expected.

Forgot to mention, I have also downloaded 2019.38 and the same result happens.

Looks like 2019.27 is the last version that it worked in.

I have been testing by selecting the "T6 - Final" Playlist and clicking the "Play selected" button.  I have attached the "xlights.xschedule" file.

So tested with your file and it also works fine.

Option 1. Reproduce the problem and then quickly grab xSchedule logs and post them.

Option 2. Video the problem ... maybe you are doing something different to what i think you are doing.

did a video on my laptop (not show computer), but one that I use for testing, and sequencing.  Behavior is the same.  See Video Attached.  I First attempt to run "Final" Playlist, once this does not work, I hit the "stop all" button and works as expected.

Thanks.

Spent a bunch of time on this and never had it not work correctly. Does it fail for you every time?

Then we will need to find some time on zoom. Otherwise this won’t get fixed.

Mine has worked fine in testing. This seems like another one of those bugs that was fixed by a reset perhaps. Is yours still not working or does it work now?

Friday or Saturday evening is probably the only time that will work as I assume you are in the us.
