E-Streamer Modification

Here's the way it works.

• The list of shows can now be assigned to any of 101 levels of priority. (Default is 0).
• Priority 0 is lowest and 100 is highest.
• There are also 101 Execution Groups. They are not ranked, but are merely for convenience in organizing things together.
• The Priority and Group assignments are all set in the show configuration screen.

Once you have assigned priorities and groups, they are used to resolve potential conflicts between shows.

• The priority only applies in the same group.
• Shows will not start if a show with higher priority in the same group is already running.
• If multiple shows with lower priority in the same group are running it will stop them all and run the higher priority show when it is triggered (whether by schedule or manually.)
• If shows have the same priority they can run simultaneously. HTP merging will then apply to them, of course.

Example

In a multiple ballroom facility, you may have different groups that correspond to the different rooms. Then, in each room, you might have 3 shows, one where the LEDs being controlled are all red, one all blue, and one all green. If you have them all at the same priority, and start two shows, you'll see additive color mixing (Red + Blue = Purple for instance).

But if they have different priorities, then you can make it so that shows in the daily schedule are stopped when a staff member comes up to the box and makes a manual selection. Or if a manual one is playing, the scheduled programs won't play, unless they are higher in priority than what you manually started earlier.
