Tonight was the first night I let it turn off on it's own, but it didn't.
It was supposed to stop at 9, but at 11:00 it was still going strong. And no, I do not have 2 hours worth of seuences, it's 20-30min worth... 6 songs total.
I clicked stop, then start. Show did not start, we'll see if it starts on it's own tomarow at 5.

Yesterday, being the 1st of December, borealis didn't start. It took me a while to figure out why. I am in Canada and I use Canada English on my date settings. Borealis is full of prejudice. It HAS to be on USA ENglish or else, it just spits in my eye. Not very nice.
 What was weird was that I turned off the scheduler to do so and even though I didn't see any trace of the program running (i had checked in task manager), as soon as I changed the date format, it started playing my sequence! Out of nowhere!!! This program just spooks me at times.  |

Well it happened again. At 1:19 last night (early this morning) the show was on. It had stopped at 11:00pm as per normal. When I stopped it at 1:19, it was playing the last song in my show so I don't know if it would'v e stopped on itself after this. Probably not.
Like I wrote before, there is nothing on this computer. I have the bare minimums XP installed with nothing else but Aurora programs. What the heck is triggering this to happen? The ghost of Christmas past ? I'll be away for a few days during Christmas and I can't be here to monitor or turn it off, should it happen on its own. Edited by BigDPS - 04 Dec 2009 at 5:38am |

I could have written this exact message. My show has been running and shutting down correctly since Black Friday. This morning I looked out at the weather and I notice that my trees are lit. Turned on my speaker inside and a song is playing. Looked at the screen and the status bar says it's playing my "weekdays" schedule. (I run later on Friday and Saturday) No error or anything to note...

I wonder if there could be some feedback from the controllers up the computer via my cat 5 cable? I know this is far fetched but it is unseasonable mild right now and I can't recall what type of weather we had when it first happened.
No matter how you cut it, it is not a normal behaviour. |

Ok it gave me an error. I got home tonight from a party only to see the scheduler still running. It says:
Aurora encountered an unexpected error and will now reset. Debugging information: 3704: Operation is not allowed when the object is closed. Aurora.Scheduler.RefreshTick.0 Aurora.Scheduler.RefreshTick.0 Hope this will give some type of info to the beta testers. |

And it did it again.
 Starting to be a big pain in the arse. I will be away from my home for a week during Christmas and I can't rely on Borealis to come on when it's supposed. When we install the program, if I was to install say 1.041 on a computer, can I just copy Borealis unto my other computer that has 1.068? Or is there other files that will need to follow? Or am I just better to just install 1.041? I'm starting to think that the last version with video support is the one screwing it up. When I turn it off in the middle of the night after it started on its own, I see about 4 or 5 tiny video preview windows in the background. |

FYI- I have reports of this happening with 1.0.41 as well.
Hold on for just a bit longer. As soon as we get past the COM stability problems (the bigger issue) then we'll be looking into this in more detail. It is likely this will be fixed within the week. Others have reported that the false startups are at exactly midnight. Is this the case for you as well? |

Worth a try... I'm still testing a work around (meaning this may not work), but create a post show. One short sequence, all lights off. Then run it from 11:45pm to 12:15am the next day. The idea is that if the scheduler turns on by itself at midnight, it will continue to run the existing post show and then stop. I added a post sequence loop and things were fine last night (but that could have been good luck).
