The failed to play the closing sequence happened to me once as well (only mine was the opening one).  Are you using the playlist option for non show times?

Why would I want to end and stop? I don't run the pc 24x7.. FM transmitter turns on via timer at 4:55 PM, Borealis starts up perfect at 4:57 pm every night via the Task Scheduler, and Borealis schedule then starts perfect at 5:00 PM every night.  Borealis is set to auto start so show start every night is just fine. I would have liked to use the non-show play list option but can't do that because Borealis never enters the stop state. Once it's started play list activated, show plays, show ends, closing supposed to play, and it's time to shut everything down and go silent. Play list option prevents going silent since the playlist is activated whenever a schedule item isn't to be played. And withouit manually hitting stop can't go silent. Not broadcasting 24x7 either. I've been manually shutting everything down each night and that's not a problem since I've got some work to do after the show wrapping up each night.

I'm setup with 2 show schedules. The first is a 30 minute single sequence of the pre-show music and announcements, then the light show loop tht runs till 10:15 PM whereapon the nightly closing sequence plays (was playing)..
