    Hi everyone,

    I have attached my project and would appreciate any help. My scene director has an event at the end that is supposed to restart the playback from the beginning, but it isn't working. 

    Can anyone help me figure out what I might be missing? It should play the slides and then start over again at the end. Thank you!

    When i click on the sequence to go on AIR... It plays fine until the end, and stops on the last commissioner slide. it doesn't go back to the beginning.

    When i open up scene director to check it...it plays fine and goes back to the beginning.

    thank you

    I downloaded your scene and I play it out on my system and it restarts as you would expect. I did move the restart earlier in the timeline for testing purposes, have you tried that.

    i tried it again and it played just fine.  Then I played it 5 minutes later and it got stuck again. It would t go back to the beginning.  Maybe it's our system?

    What is the performance meter of your system saying when the graphic is playing?

    It fluctuates from 29 to 31 percent.  The scene director is playing correctly now.  Later, who knows what it's going to do.

    That's a good level of performance, pretty low actually so it's not that. 

    This is just a thought but try putting a another reset 1 or 2 frames after the current one as a safety just incase the other one is being jumped for some reason as a work around for now.

    It's not working again. I did what you told me to do and nothing. Can the file be corrupt?

    Make yourself a simple test scene to check if its a problem with the scene and or project.

    I see you have a script on online to play the scene director, why is that? default will play anyway, is that perhaps messing with your scene?

    Roman, helped me with that script. I did that because it wasn't dissolving when I took it online. I had a transition logic applied, but I removed it and used the script instead. Now it dissolves like I wanted. Let me try it without the script again to see the results.

    Im. sorry.  It does the same thing.  It plays until the last slides and stops.  It does not go back to the beginning. Our engineer said he is going to take a look at the RAM. Is there a way to clear clean out memory or cache files.

    I played the file now and it's working. But later it might not.  I don't get it. Version 8.5. We are upgrading in 3 months or so to version 12.

    So yes for me it works every time.

    You could open a ticket with our tech support to check your machine.

    This is not a hardware issue, do not modify the hardware trying to solve this issue. It is a software or script or operational issue.
