XML and ASYNC help needed

[spikylaura]

Morning Ventuz world,

I am creating a very busy scoreboard for an event which contains around 450 2D text items and 450 colour nodes all fed from an XML. I have containerised into smaller groups for ease of management and to make use of interfacing. All XML nodes have auto update and ASYNC enabled. The XML is located on a mapped drive on the local network. I am running the scene as a VPR.

The problem is this: When we run test data, the scoreboard will update quite happily for a length of time, but then just stops updating until I close and reopen the scene/presentation ( the same behaviour happens in Designer and Presenter. The stall does not happen in the same place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should just use one XML File node to load the xml at one single point and then pass it inside the containers to save performance.
If you have 450 instances of the XML file node reloading the data you run into trouble!

Cheers!
