Display Spacing of Items in Carousel Schedule

I'm having some strange spacing issues with my carousel calendar... I have a template set up to look one way, but when the sign reads the calendar/schedule sometimes the spacing of objects on the template are right, and other times not---they are spread out in ways not dictated by the template. Any ideas about what might be causing this?

Carousel, clock, digital, analog, block

I would love it if you made it possible to adjust the placement of the digital and analog clock within a zone, similar to text block placement.... I've got a clock that I can't hang properly, it always has to go in the center!

Fade to black or white before videos

I would LOVE it if you could make it possible to choose which color video files fade to before they play. For instance I have a white background, if the video faded to a white background it would be seamless---that would be fantastic. Everyone loves options.

Hi Chad, we think Sophos Anti-Virus is causing the loading problem because the channels and zones are fine when using another player.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Max Number of Zones?

What is the maximum number of zones Tightrope recommends?

megan replied on March 02, 2009 18:33 to the question "One zone says, "Loading Zone..." and stalls. Why?" in Tightrope Media Systems:

We deleted the bulletins in the zone, and it loaded, but when we tried to add a new bulletin, it won't update. It shows the new bulletin is active, but it's not actually active on the display. Is it possible the zone or the channel is corrupted?

We had a zone that was not loading, when we reset the server, a different zone wouldn't load. Many hours have passed and the zone still says "Loading zone..." What's up with this?

One zone says, "Loading Zone..." and stalls. Why?

Why does display say "Loading zone..." with only one zone when other zones are working fine? What's causing the stall of only one zone? The zone that is loading only has one weather bulletin in it. Any thoughts?

Mystery Floating Clock

Why is there a digital clock floating around all of my zones, but not scheduled in any of my bulletins?

Thanks for your help Jennifer and JJ!

JJ, I'm talking about adding basic formatting to one text block.

See my images below. I want to be able to shift/return so the text stacks-up. It's funny because it displays it correctly in the preview, but then once I say okay, the next window preview shows it wrapping again. What formatting is available inside a single text box? This is such a tease. :)

Please add line-break function to text blocks!

I would love it if text in bulletin text blocks did not auto-wrap. It would be extremely helpful if it was possible to insert line-breaks, then one wouldn't need to use additional text blocks just for basic formatting issues.

Yes. Thank you. I will try it. BTW There is a lot of interest at UCSD in Carousel.

Of course, this is southern California, and weather is rarely interesting... So this bulletin will have to go! lol :) – megan, on February 10, 2009 19:27

How do I show a Vehicle Traffic Cam bulletin?

How do I display and image from a vehicle traffic camera? Does it go into a regular bulletin, or does it need to be a live video feed? I've found a California traffic camera that shows a JPG of local traffic... Will this link update itself? I'm a little unclear about how to proceed... Here is the link I am trying to display:

Thanks!

Great! It's working. Now, is there a way I can size this image in a bulletin ? so it is not taking over the whole zone? Does it have to be a live video feed?

megan replied on February 09, 2009 17:49 to the question "Does anyone have a weather Radar feed displaying on their tightrope?" in Tightrope Media Systems:

Yep. It's not working for me. It's just flashing a black screen at me.

RSS video feeds in Carousel?

Do RSS video feeds work in Carousel? Any plans to add this feature?

Event Schedule using iCalendar through Google --- Where is #Room#?

I'm trying to get the #Room# of my Event Schedule to show up. I'm using iCal, through Google Calendars. Everything is working, I've got my events showing, but no #Room# listing... The Google calendar does not ask for #Room# but 'Where' --- unfortunately it's not a database option. Any suggestion on how I can get my my room listing to show up?
