Cuelist multiple wait cues create extra fire executors

[mhagen]

Hello!

I’ve a simple cuelist with 7 cues.
Cue 1 halt
Cue 2 wait delay 5
Cue 3 wait delay 2
Cue 4 follow delay 1
Cue 5 follow delay 1
Cue 6 follow delay 1
Cue 7 follow delay 1

When running this cuelist both cue 2 and 3 fire,
When cue 3 is done running it continues to cue 4 > 7.
But when cue 2 finishes it retrigger cue 3 with also fires 4 > 7 again.

This is, in my opinion, not intended behavior?
How can a cuelist have multiple fire executes at the same time

Can anyone relate to this?

Hello,
I tested your programming on Cuelux pro 1.6.16. and the  behaviour I am having do not correspond to what you said.
First note that the difference between the 'Follow' and the "wait" condition is about taking the fade in and fade out time into account. One, start counting the delay as soon as the fade in starts the other one starts the delay when the fade in is over.
In our case there are no fade in/fade out so it should not make any difference.
the result I am having and that fits the programming is:
Cue 1 starts and last 5 seconds
Cue 2 starts and last 2 seconds
Cue 3 starts and last 1 seconds
Cue 4 starts and last 1 seconds
Cue 5 starts and last 1 seconds
Cue 6 starts and last 1 seconds
Cue 7 starts and wait for click.
Note that when you set a delay for a cue, you do not set how long teh cue will last but how long it will way before starting? that means that you actually set the duration of the previous cue.
I hope this will help you,
Enjoy

Hi there!

Didnt get a notification. But still have this issue.
I've screen captured a bit: https://youtu.be/Kjiyw7dejTU
Im also running Cuelux pro 1.6.16

Or im just misunderstanding the bar under a cue, it seems my cues are still triggered twice.
I cannot confirm yet as i dont (yet) have a cuecore to test

Thank you for the video, This is much easier to see the problem like this.

SO the problem is coing from the fact that your delay in cue 3 is shorter than the fade in of cue 2.

AS your cue 3 is with "wait" condition, the delay is activated as soon as cue 2 starts the fade in.

If you change the "wait" condition to "follow" then the Cuelist will not be played twice. Or change the delay of cue 3 or fade in of cue 2 to have the timings fitting.

Anyway, the cuelist should not be played twice, so I will add this to our to do list to fix this in a next release.

I hope this will help you,
Enjoy

Hi!

The follow fixed it indeed, glad to help improve the software in this way.
If very different from what I’m used to (ma and hog), but is used the same terms and stuff.
Altho, for, there is still room for lots of improvements.

Again thank you!
