[Fix 11.2.6]SCS 11.2.5 Production timer resets to 10 minutes

Post by Robotgrouse » Fri Jan 31, 2014 12:18 am

I use SCS to run a stand-up comedy room.
Format is:
30 minutes of pre-show music
30 or so 10 second play-on/play-off pieces at the beginning and end of 8 minute spots.
I have all the short cues set to start the timer at (0.00) when cue ends so that I can time each act. I cut each of these cues with a hot-keyed fade and stop
At some time during the show (tonight it was from the first play-on) the timer resets to 10.00 instead of 0.00. Once it starts doing that it will keep doing it until SCS is shutdown.
I haven't managed to get it to do this at home but it will do it every night at the venue (same laptop). Sometimes it will get almost to the end of the show before this behaviour starts.

Had a longer show last night.
The timer was resetting to 10.00 from the first cue and after the break in the middle was resetting to 20.00 for the rest of the show.
The break was 15 minutes or so of Playlist cue.

I've had a look at the code and can't see how this can happen, so could you email me a diagnostic dump file? I can then check the cues you are using to set and reset the production timer. You can create this file by starting SCS and selecting 'Create Diagnostic Dump 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 Dumps" under "Documents" or "My Documents".

Fix ready for the next release. This was an error in displaying the timer after resetting the timer. So if the timer value was "12:34" then on resetting the timer the "2:34" portion would be replaced by "0:00" resulting in the display showing "10:00".
