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?

Great. It works! Thank you. But what if I actually want a description? ;)

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?

No Default Shadow and Outline

I would like to suggest that the default Carousel templates have the shadow and outline feature turned off on the text. It's nice to have those features, but I think it makes for a cleaner design to have them off. It is a pain to have to turn them all off, especially on the weather bulletin.

megan replied on January 21, 2009 19:37 to the question "Do bulletins auto update when templates are updated?" in Tightrope Media Systems:

That is unfortunate... Is it possible for bulletins not to have any background at all then? That way I could just update zone backgrounds, and wouldn't have to update all the bulletins.

Do bulletins auto update when templates are updated?

If my bulletins are made from a specific template, and I update the background of that template will the corresponding bulletins automatically update?

If not it seems that in order to change the look of my sign I have to change every bulletin's background... Help!

We set up our own RSS image stream from Flickr, the only problem is that they are pretty small on a high definition monitor. That is what is great about the large image RSS feed from NASA.

Large Image RSS Feeds

I'm looking for large image RSS feeds. Do you have any suggestions? I already know about NASA's Large Image of the Day RSS feed. I'm looking for others. Thnx.
