Title: LSP website
Post by: keitha43 on May 16, 2013,
Looks like it may have been hacked again. The web page says it is inactive.

They keep having issues. Cody has been working hard on it! had to reload all of the data 2 days ago. Maybe new server is not so good???

I hope it is just growing pains but I admit I am becoming concerned with this kinda stuff and the lack of progress.  Sure it is spring and there is plenty of time per se but there are lots of bugs.  Thought there might be at least an update with some bugs fixed by now.

I understand your pain Sam, but I think they have been targeting mid summer all along. Complete rewrite of the scheduler is going to take a lot of time. AND fixing all of the bugs cannot be easy either!

I believe the timetable for beta testing wasn't to begin until mid summer. At least that is what I think I remember reading postings of their QCC meetings they post in their forum. The scheduler is being rebuilt from the ground up.

I don't mean to sound negative, just concerned...  No argument the QCC have their work cut out for em.  I hope they don't spend all their effort on the Scheduler, since I now have faith in the Conductor and plan to use it.  Hope I am not divulging, but I am totally stoked being on the Conductor beta.  It is clear RJ want this dialed in NOW.  We're very close to being done.  Very much improved.  My LSP exported show plays better than the current LSP scheduler.  Nice to see shimmer work for once.

I can't blame them as the scheduler was the biggest problem and most people didn't have conductors or knew about xlights or had incompatible controllers or video. Unless the scheduler improved they would lose a lot of customers. I think the current version sequencer is much improved over older versions.

I tried to log on to LSP I wanted to purchase the program, but when I hit the front page a notice poped up that I needed to update my audio program I clicked ok and the system started installing files on my computer at a rapid rate.  My anti virus program flashed a warning and I tried to stop the program but could not so as a last resort I shut the computer down.  When I rebooted there were several strange files on the hard drive that took some doing to erase.  This was several days ago and now when I try to get on the site I can't get past the front page.  I would like to purchase LSP hope they get their problems fixed.

Ken,

They did just change their web server and have been having some issues. I know they have been working very hard on it, so hang in there. Not sure what has happened today.

Just received a note that the Hosting Company has taken LSP offline. DUH  ;) Don't know why yet!

I don't know why they just don't include xlights/Nutcracker as their scheduler. I put in a request for that and export to .xseq two days ago, I'm not really expecting it to happen, though it would be incredible if it did.

Well they either haven't payed there bill OR the software is crashing the server OR the site got hacked and they need to do a clean install.

Not for sale. They are working on it. The new host server has hosed them. I can get in on my phone, but not on my computer.  I was trying to get a feel. Some people can get on some can't.

Yep, my post from 3 days ago requesting export to xlights/Nutcracker .xseq files or implementing xlights with Nutcracker as their scheduler has disappeared.

That's because they did a restore from a back up several days old.

As somebody who runs 3 different websites all using Content Management software I can tell you from personal experience that it can be a real PIA getting website software to play nicely with server setups. I have been lucky as the tech support for the hosting company I use have been very helpful and in one case took my site offline after it had been hacked till I could fix the damage and remove the bad PHP pages. Hopefully LSP will get there tech problems sorted out with there hosting company.
