standalone installation auto play at specific time

[nicholas]

Hello,
I have a permanent installtion that runs by it self 365 days a year.
it have to play everyday from 8pm to midnight.
i was using windows scheduler to open and close resolume (with the "trigger first clip when the composition is loded" function)
but it appears resolume is after 3-5 starts (3-5 days) is freezing.(so that very bad cause I can not control everyday that it's working, and when resolume is not answering I need to reboot the machine....)
is there a different way to make so?

for exemple to schedule a play/stop from windows scheduler (then I do'nt kknow what command to use? )
or to make it directly in resolume maybe?

thanks for your help.

One thing I have found helpful is to also have Windows Task Scheduler restart the computer once a day. I have it restart around 5:00 AM. That way it runs smoother and gives everything a chance to reboot.

Just curious on why you need to restart your machines?
The stuff I build has a pre-rendered clip and then I use external controls (people at the installs) to modify the raster with fx and conditions (which auto turn off after "x" amount of time without input). All the allocated memory is then returned when the fx is not active. I haven't had the need to restart in months.
