NPP Projection Close 7/2

To do this evening/ was completed: Prefacing first that the show tonight went great! Apologies for the following ramble - Saw (and only at the last minute) that there was a dcp end show pack in the playlist for Bound, which I first mistook for the transfer from digital to the analogue processor and with our normal volume adjustments added in, but instead it just immediately brought the cleaning lights up at the start of the show before I could prevent it from executing, which was fine but jarring and kind of a bummer beginning. I built this playlist (and have noticed in a few others) some extremely random changes to them recently, which is why I usually spend Saturday night going through everything I've built. Not trying to point fingers of course ( although I feel a bit like I've been going insane lately with the random playlist changes) but if you tech or re-tech something and make adjustments, make note of it, please. I don't think I would've added a dcp end show pack to a 35mm playlist, but stranger things have happened. Anyway, the crowd was really enthusiastic and ultimately it wasn't the world's biggest deal but just something to be mindful of because presentation does matter. - L

NPP Projection 11/17 Close

To do this evening/ was completed:v Mandy ingested to T1. Reached out to Vision for new posters. Was placed on hold, which was more an unending cycle of pressing 1 for hold and then being told to press 0 for voicemail or 1 for hold. Point being I left a voicemail requesting new posters. Gave them our account number, location and my cell. Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built. Inspected Raising Cain print. It's in good condition, minimal scratching, no splices. Inspection sheet filled out. Transferred Marvels content to T6, as it was missing from the server due to the 1:20 tomorrow being a manual start.

NPP Projection Report 4/6 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: Theater 3 issue happened again, Carly radioed me that the second round preshow didn't start. I was able to restart the projector and put the preshow on about 12 minutes before lights down. Trailers/feature played fine after that. I wrote again to DMS and Jerry said he'll have a list of parts to replace on Monday. For the sake of clarity, here is everything I've gathered about this issue: -When it happens, you won't be able to control playback via the TMS, manually fire automation cues, or access the IMS web GUI at all -Schedules for Theater 3 will display as "KDM missing" and the storage health icon on the Overview page will say "Storage degraded," even though the storage is healthy and KDMs have been uploaded and are active. -This issue prevents the server from validating KDMs (even though they are there and valid), so encrypted content will not play with the server in this state. If the projector goes into this st
