put me down for 2 kit 1 and 2 kit 4,  please and thank you.

is there a way to see why xlights keeps crashing when converting a sequence, such as a log.

I am good almost any of the Saturdays in question just let me know.

Testing Update

I created a sequence from scratch in Nutcracker as follows.
Using the same audio file from the defective sequence I added two timing marks in this file. One to create a color wash of 'Red' at the 0 timing mark and nothing else[/b].
Played this and the Mega tree turned on and stayed on for the entire time with no turning off.

In LSP I created a fresh sequence using the same audio file. Turned on all the pixels in the mega tree to 'Red' from about the 3 second timing mark through the end of the sequence. Converted it using Light elf then transferred it to the show system. Added this to a test schedule and using the play now function ran this sequence. The Mega Tree came on then after a few seconds turned off then back on and repeated this several times before the end of the sequence playing.

Not sure but it appears you are not creating the same effects in Nutcracker vs LSP. check the above bold/underline.

I thought of all those ideas but it seems silly top have 5 copies of the same sequence to insert where you want it.  besides if you want your sequences to be random in the playlist it doesn't work to have multiple copies.

So to summarize the custom script below allows you to randomize your playlist and have an opening & closing sequence, as well as a sequence that you can repeat every so many songs (such as be kind to neighbors),  and you only have to have one copy of the repeating sequence.  as long as it is the second song in your playlist it will only play when you decide.

Thanks to CaptainMurdoch for the adjustments it works great so far been testing all morning.

to adjust the number of songs played between special sequence change the following lines.

205 IF x=2 THEN 208
206 IF x<2 THEN 213

The =2 and <2, simply change the 2 to the number of songs you want between, be advised the way the code is written it is zero based so the first song is 0 second is 1 and so on. 

Example  with a value of 3

Intro
Song - 0
Song - 1
Song - 2
Repeating Message
Song - 0
Song - 1
Song - 2
Repeating Message
Song - 0
Song - 1 ......and so on until the end of the show
Then your closing message.

Thank you all for the help

Justin

PS if you have any questions ask or PM me and I will see what I can do to help.

Question 1
Is there a way to have a sound file repeat every 2-3 songs in a playlist?

Question 2:
Custom Scripting is there any documentation on this for Xlights?

Thanks

Justin
