Hi all, last year I had no issues with the Xscheduler, this year it will not start on schedule.

I have a playlist that I want to have started at 1700, 1800 and 1900 (play duration 35min)
(Start 17:00, Stop 19:40, play every hour)
The scheduled time is displayed in blue underneath the playlist, with the correct time (2024-12-10 17:00)
On moment supreme nothin happens, only the next time (2024-12-10 18:00) is being displayed.

If I push "play selected" it's start playing and having outputs to the lights in the normal sequence as I am used to.
It has connection to the controllers (displayed green) 4x Digquad

I play it from my Laptop, with minimal to no other programs running, via Ethernet

XSchedule v2024.19 64bit
Attached is the Xschedule log

Hey ejwind - this looks like the output from Check Schedule - are you able to do send the file that comes up when you do Tools-> View Log - it should be called xSchedule_l4cpp.log
 
The log does show that it sees the schedule is ready to play at 17:00
"name":"Weekdagen 2024","id":"2","nextscheduled":"2024-12-10 17:00","length":"29:56.975","lengthms":"1796975"
And I can see a manual start as well - that being said, the log only covers the current session (around 10:30am your time?) so there is nothing to suggest "why" it's not kicking off at the appropriate time.
Can you create a schedule to kick off in say 10 minutes time with otherwise identical parameters, and let it go on its own?

This was the latest part:

I scheduled it for 11:43, again nothing happened and it's now for 12:43 in blue

I also deleted everything and build it up again, but to no avail.
