[Fix 11.7.1] Auto start does not work correctly

[djvomght]

Hello Mike,

run into this thing yesterday.
In our latest open air production I have at the beginning three chimes and an announcement following the second one. There are two versions, one says, smoking is allowed at some places ("rauchen.wav"), the other say, that smoking ist not allowed anywhere at the place ("nichtrauchen.wav"). I disabled the first one and found, that the announcement is never started, when it refers to a disabled cue (autostart 0.0s after end of previous cue). Cue file is attached.

Regards Jörg

Fix ready for 11.7.1. Bug due to a incorrect 'fix' in RC2.

I also have a similar problem with Auto Start Cue (release 11.7.1.3). I am trying to start two cues at the same time and after a time fade the first cue leaving the second running. I am finding that they are linked not only with the start but also with the end, so adding a fade/stop cue to the first cue also stops the second. Looked all over the help/manual files and am missing it. Can anyone help please?

Also I would like to add a delete tab to the editor tool bar and cannot find this either. Thanks

Could you email me a diagnostic file? You can create this file by selecting 'Create Diagnostic File' from the drop-down menu displayed when you click the Help button in the main window. The file will be saved in a folder named "SCS Diagnostics" under "Documents" or "My Documents". Please tell me which cues are involved.

Regarding the delete tab, not sure what you want. There is already a delete button in the sidebar to the left.

Mik4e Thanks for your reply. Really sorry about the delete tab. I didn't realise that it was now on the left hand side. I was trying to find it on the top tool bar. I will email the diagnostics file as requested. Thanks.

Thanks for the diagnostic file. The problem is due to the two audio file cues using files of exactly the same duration and being set to start together. SCS therefore links playback of the two files. Although there is no documented way to unlink the two files, what you can do is adjust the 'end at' time of one of the files. In your cues, the two files have a duration of 261207 milliseconds (4:21.207). As they both start at 0.000 they therefore end at 4:21.206, so if you set the 'end at' time of one of the files to, say, 4:21.205 then SCS will not link them, but they will still start together. Since you are deliberately fading out the first of these two cues then this would be the obvious one to select to adjust the 'end at' time. You could drag the 'end' pointer back as far as you like.

Thanks Mike. Fix working well.
