    Default LTC in Progam Schedule not working

    Ok, I have went about as far with the troubleshooting as I could take it, so now I am asking for some help.

    A little background.

    I broke the number 1 rule of if it is working don't fix it. All was working when I had a tune to (set to 100%) and a thank you scrolling text (set to 50%). We are expecting a community group to the show and I wanted to change the thank your to a welcome to the show scroll. I have attempted to revert back to the original setup but the LTC remains broken.

    I am using ltc09.exe, vixen 2.1.4 on an XP professional PC

    I currently have three triggered launchers, (1) is my tune to radio station (100%) (2) is a thank your for your donations (50%) (3) is to kill all running LTC.exe (25%)

    If I run the LTC command from command line it executes fine.
    If I run the sequence and the launcher plugin the commands executes fine.
    If I have my program kick off with the scheduler I could see the dos window open but the command flash by so fast I can't read the screen.

    When I open the program there are the 3 options to run the plugins; Use programs's plugin setup, Use a profile and use each sequence's plugins. I have tried all three with the same results.

    It seems to be an issue with the scheduler but I can not figure out what it could be.

    Also I see some people are running ltc11_exe. If there is a newer version LTC if someone could point me to the download page being I have done the searches and still can't find a place to download the file.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I have found over the past 6 years to use a single Profile for ALL sequences runs each season.


    make sure you give the scheduler a few milliseconds before you kill and run the LTC

    -1/2 a second into the sequence use the Kill (25%)
    -1 second into the sequence use the Tune-To (100%)
    -Time your Tune-to .led file play time (I'll use 5 seconds for this example)
    -at 6.5 seconds into the sequence use the Donations (50%) (or use the kill again)
    -Time your Donations.led file play time (I'll use 4 seconds for this example)
    at 11 seconds into your sequence use the Kill again (to be safe)


    only a single timer cell for each command
    so (in seconds) on your sequence LedTriks Trigger channel I would use the following.
    .5 cell intensity = 25% (.5 to .9 runs the Kill file)
    1 second cell intensity = 100% (1 to 6 runs the Tune-To file)
    6.5 second cell intensity = 50% (6.5 to 11 runs the Donations file)
    11.5 second cell intensity = 25% (runs the Kill file again)

    Steve, Thank you for the reply. I have adjusted some of my timings to see if it makes a difference. I had the kill (25%) at the very last cell of each sequence. I am running a test now and will report if that corrects the issues.

    Thanks again.
