http://vimeo.com/nutcracker123/videos is the best place to start. Oct videos Sean did a few demos on faces. Look under the show assets folder, I've pasted a PGO files there....no instructions though. I also had problems with a couple of versions in Windows, but it works fine with the mac. Haven't gone back to see if the windows versions have any issues with faces.
As for scheduler, you are on your own (i'm sure others can help, so not really on your own), but I use falcon pi player, so can't offer anything on that. The Pi makes a great scheduler though, if you haven't investigated it yet...falconchristmas is a good place to start :-)
