  • 1.  Dynamic Datalinq images not updating

    Posted 09-24-2023 18:45

    I am experiencing a bizarre issue with dynamic datalinqs, and cannot figure out what is going on.  I have a right side slab with four images.  They are suppposed to dynamically change based on live, real-time data I am getting. 

    Unfortunately, the images don't change.  The images in the preview window stay unchanged, and when I take it to air, the images don't change either. However, here's the bizarre thing, if I hit take 2 or 3 times, the image on air changes.  Is there a setting I am missing so that I can see the images change in the preview windown and then go to air that . (And yes, refresh dynamic datalinqs is checked)

    Also, these machines are alway 'hot' so hitting take 2 or 3 times is not a solution unfortunately.

    Thanks

    Are you using macros or datalinqs to complete the paths, you should ticket the refresh on change.

    Thanks Red. 

    I had the refresh checked but it wasn't working.  I found a "workaround" and It involved some visual logic I had. By disabling it and reworking some configurations, it's working. 

    Appreciate the reply.

    This is the order that the engine runs which may help you figure out your issue as well. 

    1. OnPrepare
    2. Collect Datalinqs / Load Video Clips / Load Textures etc..
    3. OnBeforeOnline
    4. Evaluate transition logic (which may include running OnTransLogicScripts)
    5. OnOnline
    6. Visual Logic Runs
