SL2004 problems (crashes, copyprotection?)
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 12:03 pm
Hi all!
We had massive problems with the sunlight sl2004 software:
We have different computers in our lab and different USB-Boxes
(EC and FC)...
Strange things happening with the sl2004 software all the time:
Besides the normal crashes (like for example with the audioanalyser, which hangs up from time to time...)
And the annoying EasyShow Window-Behavior (Always on top, Toolbar not visible when switching from 2 monitors to 1)
We did not get it working with our interfaces:
Although it always detects the USB-Box-ID (FC-Version) at startup
we have on one system no DMX-Output (although on the same system: EasyStandAlone has DMX output)...
When we try to use another Interface, we have output but the interface looses the connection to the sl2004 and goes into some strange standalone
mode...
on the other computer, the same interfaces work with the same software-installtion (same build date).
We also had the situation where the FC interface did nothing and the EC interface put out some DMX-Data, but did not recognized the AUdio2Light
patterns anymore...alllthough these where visible in the software-monitor...
I thought it might have somethign todo with the USB-Port configuration,
but why is EasyStandAlone working then?
After several nervous breakdowns and additional nightshifts, windows reinstalltions...format c:....driver installation over and over again...
i found out that sl2006 is actually working...well...
but still it would be nice to now, why sl2004 is not....
another thing is:
is there a solution for automatic startup and playing of scenes or cycles
or even better easyshows after booting up a pc
(something like batch-scripting or so?)
Autostart of sl2004 works but it only plays the init-scene and then
someone has to trigger a cycle or scene or fire up easyshow and hit play...
i recognized that easy show loads shows, which you give it over the commandline...are there any other commandline options like: autoplay or so?
please let me know...I starting to get a bit bored by all these difficulties...
