Sweetlight Crashing
Posted: 15 April 2010, 23:09
Hi,
I work at a haven holiday park and I have managed to get them to use sweetlight for all there shows, I love this new version and how the time line works now,
I got sweetlight in there, they provided an HP mini, windows 7, Intel atom processor, 1GB ram.
We are running live with a scene, we have nothing complex there, no moving lights only LED fixtures which are running from there built in programs, so sweetlight is just sending a dmx signal, no chases. Sweetlight just decides to not work, it stops sending a signal, however live will still click in the buttons but control board is not responding. Once i close sweetlight I have to take out the USB stick and plug it back in again otherwise control board will not find the stick when re opened. I checked on task manager when running a scene and live is using hardly any memory at all. so I ruled out that the processor and memory cannot handle sweet light. There is nothing that makes sweetlight do this, I have tried running multiple chase scenes and it still does not crash, it just happens at the most inconvenient times.
We have a show on Sunday and I would really like to be able to use sweetlight..
Thankyou for all your support so far, you guys are doing a great job!
Thanks
Joe
