Day of week in Clock Control

[BlueTornado]

Finding kicking off a show using the clock feature very helpful, starts 8pm each night with duration 2 hrs. To echo a couple other requests seen on the forums, adding day of the week check boxes to the clock widget would be useful. In my case, I am running an outdoor light show at a venue that is only open on certain nights, and only want to run show on those nights. Plan to have QLC+ operate on an inexpensive mini Windows PC, and basically set it and forget it.

EDIT: Looks like this may be in V5!?

Welcome to the community.

There is something called 'at'. With this, you can create a calendar, which in turn fires QLC+. By using the correct command line parameters at your command prompt, you can have QLC+ in kiosk mode and auto-start a show. Make use of the green flag 'start' setting inside QLC+ to have things going at the start.

The green flag auto start: https://docs.qlcplus.org/v4/function-manager 3/4 down the page.

I once produced a show for three months in harsh outdoor conditions, running it on a Raspberry Pi. The show started daily (except Tuesdays and Thursdays), and the QLC+ gracefully shut down at 9 p.m. It needed intervention only once because of a maintenance mishap (too much water was used to clean the path next to the console, killing the AC line).
