overlays wont start anymore

Post by Frans »

Hello Bernd,

Since the latest version the overlays won't start anymore. The button "Upcoming Overlays" says there's an overlay waiting but it won't start. It just skipped.
Can you please look into that?

Just tried them here and they are starting!

Please take a look to your 'Overlay Scheduler Log' - see the 'Tools' ribbon tab and click on the 'Show Log Files' button and take a look to the related Overlay-Log file.
What does your Overlay 'play' - is it maybe a script? And are you maybe having the same issue as in your other post, that this script now doesn't resolve any tracks - because of your history settings?

Note, that you might also activate the 'Debug Logging' - see general settings, section 'More Stuff' - this generates a "Debug_YYYMMDD.log" file (contained in your global log folder), which might reveal the detailed reason.
If needed, just send this to me to analyze it...

Thank you Bernd,

Yes I'm using a script (with a filter) in the Overlay Scheduler, but the Option "SuppresHistoryCheck" is on.

The Debug option was not set, but there's still a result. I've copied some lines from the Overlay-log and I think you're right. It looks like a script problem.

I've got a non related question: I see now that there is no GlobalPlaylist-Log. How can I activate this?

There was never a global playlist log, unless you use the related control-command. But I suggest to better use the new global song statistic instead.

However, the error message is exactly what I expected and as such is directly related to your other post. "no tracks found with 'Script : Nieuws" means that your script did not return a single matching track.

It is the same in your other post.
Please activate the Debug Log , so that we can see what the issue might be.
And send me your scripts in questions plus all your related settings, i.e.
- your global history settings
- your restrictions or rules (if defined)
