Curious if there’s a way to program a sequence action or other method to advance to the next item based on a specific clock time. Here’s the scenario I run into: we program outdoor movies in our park, and the schedule needs to be pretty precise. We typically run a 30-minute block of trivia while people get situated, followed by a 9-minute theater intro, with the feature film starting right at 8:00 PM. That means I need to start the sequence at exactly 7:21 PM to keep everything on schedule. The
PreShow 0.2.3 is now available for download.
The changelog includes:
- add: Added pastebin log posting
- add: Added new options for the command module, including number of loops, duration and time of day
- fix: Added genres, rating and resolution data for imdb trailers (Note this takes while to retrieve the trailer information)
- fix: Updated code to make sequences filter by date properly
- fix: Modified code to make linked python scripts work in action files
If you have an issue, you can now post your log directly into pastebin from the settings. You can open a QR code to get the link on your phone.
The command/loop module now has multiple options to control the loop, so that you can more accurately create longer preshows.
