Restarting the program only temporarily fixed these problems for me. After a short period of time they would return. Let Adam know that I am running the most current version and never got another response.

Can a poor WiFi connection create program glitches in SKP functions that are not internet dependent, such as the scrolling message or the display of lyrics when using a song file that has already been downloaded?

It seems very unlikely.

Simulated a show at home Tuesday with no issues. Did a show last night at a venue and all the problems returned for the third week in a row. The differences between the two shows were the WiFi and there were 5-6 singers using the remote que that was set to automatic. At home, I was the only one putting in song requests via the remote que. Once again the scrolling message paused/disappeared altogether at times At times the lyric screen paused or did not showv up. Prior to the last three Wednesday nightl shows; I did not use the remote que.

I'm guessing it's the amount of characters used with the size of the font. It can work great if everyone's name is less than 5 characters each, but once someone like "Everett", "Roxanne" or "Christie MF James" starts appearing, I have to either reduce the font size or limit how many singers are being shown or both to get the marquee to scroll properly. I also can't have any extra text right now. I would have love to have that available when the bar is doing a shot special or any other quick announcements.

I never had any issues with it until the last couple of updates.

Did you have a chance to try the build I posted in the other thread?

I ran the new build on Sunday without the remote que enabled and had no problems. I have a show tonight where i will be using the remote que set to auto and will see if all goes well. I will report back tomorrow.

New build did not fix scrolling message and it crashed after in the middle of someones song. I reverted back to .23 so I didn't have any other interruptions.

Unfortunately, no one used the remote que, but saw no issues with scrolling message or singers screen. However, the program crashed once during the show. Will continue to monitor
