Program log not following clocks

This is an issue that has been bugging me, on one PC I cannot get PlayIt Live to follow the clock schedule at all, it seems to just randomly generate tracks. Originally I thought it was somehow just not scheduling the liners but upon a closer look it just simply doesn't seem to recognize that I have a clock schedule in place for the entire day.

Is there possibly a button I am missing? I am using the latest version.

Hi Alex,


The thing that is standing out is the Schedule Clocks screen. It does not look right, they should look like this and should always be an hour in length:



Because they are not shaded in light blue, this indicates your clocks have no duration. The user interface should be enforcing a duration of one hour when you schedule an item.




Please could you tell me the steps you take when scheduling a clock?


Thanks,

Jason


I scheduled the clock by clicking on Monday at the midnight position and went from there, setting repeat daily and highlighting the times I want the clock to run. The only thing I did not set was "every" with the number drop down menu. It didn't appear to make a difference what number I set it to.

 

Got the clock working right, only problem now is the program locks up on the final hour it tries to schedule. Takes up as much CPU as it can and just sits there spinning for eternity trying to schedule that final hour.

That's weird that it is locking up like that.


I finally had some success with my issue.  I just schedule the playout log for about 12 hours in advance. The program recognizes the playout log and plays what I have scheduled.

Mine didn't start working until I told the first item in the clock not to segue, then it finally filled the clock and the program follows it. The log generation can take awhile it seems.
Update: It follows it for the first few songs then stops running songs and just schedules liners with nothing else.
