I am running the latest Syncrolight software on a Windows 8.1 laptop and am having an issue with the Show Player. I can load shows, set up schedules, however when the schedule starts the show, the show stops immediately, then tries to start again instantly, then stops and continues this loop. On the "Shows" screen of the Show Player it looks like the Play and Stop buttons are being pressed alternately very quickly. My shows play and control my lights fine in Show Designer.
I tried the scheduler on a Windows 10 machine and it works fine. Unfortunately the Windows 10 laptop is unavailable for use as my light controller.
Another thing I have noticed is that my controller is not showing up in Syncrolight Device Manager but still controls my lights when I run a show in Show Designer.
I am using a DC08B controller.
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Pete
Hi Pete
I'm not too sure about the Windows issues, but the Controller issue may be the Baud Rate settings. Have you checked the Baud rate on the left hand side of the window is set to the same as the baud rate on the controller you are trying to find? I 'lost' a controller for a while until I realised I'd inadvertently changed the Baud rate on the controller and the 5600 set on the left hand window ensured I couldn't find the controller in Device Manager.
Hope that makes sense!?!
