Author Topic: Dolby IMS2000 Date Issue Roberto Simancas Film Handler Posts: 17 From: Ojeda City, Zulia State, Venezuela Registered: Mar 2015 posted 12-26-2016 04:13 PM                     Hello, how are you? I had an issue when I tried to schedule a show for this week. Being honest I think this is more of a glitch and I'm curious if someone else had this problem. The problem was this: today I tried to schedule a show but the schedule window was showing me dates for 2018 (the picture is blurry sorry). I used the back arrow to go back to 2016 but once I reached January it went back to the present day but with the year of 2018. I went to scheduler configuration and put the first day of the week to Friday and the problem was fixed, it showed me the correct year when I tried to schedule a show again. My question is, Did this happened because there were days for both years in the same week and for some weird reason it showed me 2018? Did anyone had this problem before? I think I will get the same error again this coming Friday. Thanks in advance for your help  |  IP: Logged Mike Renlund Film Handler Posts: 71 From: San Francisco Registered: Feb 2008 posted 12-26-2016 07:14 PM                     There are issues with manually scheduling shows on the IMS2000 when part of the week is in one year, and part of the week is in another year. Shows that are scheduled by a TMS don't experience this, just manually scheduled shows. Easiest way to deal with this is to reset the beginning of the week to Sunday. Then this week will be Sunday through Saturday and the problem will not be seen. Mike  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I'll be ready this Friday. Thank you all for your help. Regards  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
