I was in this position last year and now have a fully functioning display for this year. Read as much as you can and it will all start to make sense fairly quickly. Then this time next year you will be planning what you want for next Christmas.

I purchased an RTC from Alan earlier in the year for this purpose but have not been able to get it to work properly and ran out of time. I feel I have missed a step somewhere and will troubleshoot in the new year.

I looked up this script and ran it in a playlist 5 mins before showtime. Everything worked perfectly so thanks for your help. I will have to investigate the cause in the new year.

Thank you for the suggestions. There are no faults on the start of the play list and the Baldrick is receiving data. I will look into a restart script maybe 10 mins before show time. A little annoying as for a 1st year show everything else works perfect.

Hi, hopefully someone can help me diagnose why my show starts with music and no lights. Pi 3B+ that runs full time due to no Ethernet for time. Baldrick 8 that powers up 5mins before show time. Show starts with music but no lights unless I restart the Pi. It then runs perfect. I have to go away...
