NPP Projection Report 1/25 Open

To do this evening/ was completed: More Plex/Projector trouble in Trees. Content from Plex kept freezing (I restarted the iMac last week and this seemed to fix it but it kept happening today). I was downloading A Very Curious Girl on the 4/6 iMac (more on that below), but when the issue with Plex kept happening I canceled the download, restarted the iMac, and also cleared a lot of large old files from the internal hard drive, which I think was a factor in the computer being a bit laggy lately. At least it was super laggy when I was trying to sort out this Plex issue, until I restarted it and cleared things off the internal hard drive. Smooth sailing since then I believe. Pretty strange about the projector turning itself off, I will have to look into it during the week.

Presentation Issues:

Preshow Clips/Playlist:

Trailer Updates:

Special Events/ AV set up: California Split went nicely. Full room so I cranked the volume to 8.0 on both processors and recommend doing the same for the show tomorrow. Reels rewound, projectors cleaned.

Ordering/Receiving (posters & trailers):

Ordering/Receiving (content): I started downloading A Very Curious Girl again, this time to the Almodovar drive. This is in progress on the booth 1 iMac. For whatever reason, the download completed to the share folder overnight but did not get ingested to the LMS... and all the component files were deleted from the share folder (like what happens after the DCP gets ingested to the LMS), so I couldn't copy it to a drive. Please ingest to the LMS when the download finishes, should be some time tonight. I think the issue was using Cyberduck to download directly to the share folder.

Outgoing/Shipping (content):

Print/video Inspection:

Asset tracking doc updated/checked?:

Maintenance/cleaning:

Cue sheets updated/checked (every shift):

Marquee updated?:

Posters updated?:

Cleaning lights on for the night?:

Projection cart by entrance?:

Additional Notes: Lotta ADA stuff today, two seats removed for the current round of Nosferatu in T3 and a closed caption device given out for The Brutalist in T2 (made sure it was a fully charged one). I put a reminder on the whiteboard to return/collect those when the features are done!

NPP Projection Open 12/28

To do this evening/ was completed: Scheduled 1/3 - 1/9 in LMS. A few manual starts in there. I scheduled those shows just a minute or two after their real start time to get the content transferred, just FYI. Started building the cue sheets as well. Got the first three days done. SE screenings went smoothly.

Projection Admin (and Close) 10/19

To do this evening/ was completed: Real quick - It was a great day! For tonight, I've let MOD know that, since I'm more comfortable staying until most of the last round starts (due to some funky server issues we've been having), I'm going to go see a movie in T2 and can silently text with them if they need anything or should anything go wrong (knocking on wood).  Extremely thrilled to say that all three NewFest shows went very well this morning/afternoon. It was definitely a bit of a magic trick with some overlapping intros/Q&As but having my personal ROS helped so much. Thank you to Desmond, NewFest rockstar.  Desmond and I double checked all shows before doors. Gaffed the wired mics and tested everything. Since one guest for the q&a in T2 wasn't comfortable with the chairs, we swapped our directors chairs for the ones in the bar, which still worked super well with the slides and spots.  Had to ride the mic in trees a bit since everyone's got a differen...

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...
