Hi all:
A friend of mine is working with Scenarist and has found a puzzling problem. He is creating a photo gallery, with Prev./Next buttons for navigation, and the client wants the DVD to jump automatically to the next picture after X seconds, if the user hasn't pressed any button. He is doing this with a navigation timer, and during the simulation everything is fine, but when compiling the DVD, Scenarist spits out several errors:
No.1 pre-command error at PGC"Foto_03-t-pgc", "VTS_2" (SetNVTMR destination is No.17 PGC, but it does not exist in this Title)
...Where "Foto_03-t-pgc" is the name of the PGC that contains the photo, and "Nš17 PGC" is the PGC of the next picture (the one that it should be jumping to).
It gives this error for every photo that has a navigation timer set up. Obviously, it's saying that it can't find the PGC that it should be jumping to next... except that the PGCs *do* exist. My friend picks them up by going to the Simulation Window, setting up the navigation timer in the "Pre" commands and choosing the proper PGC in the menu that appears. And when playing the simulation, we pay attention to SRPM 6 (which has the number of the PGC that is currently playing) and the numbers are correct; in other words, when the simulation jumps automatically to the next photo, the PGC number that appears is the one that supposedly doesn't exist.
My friend has tried everything, including deleting all the menus and assets and importing them again, but nothing seems to work. Is anyone else familiar with this bug?
(Also: we know we could make the photo gallery using a Slideshow, but the client doesn't want it: they like having the Prev/Next buttons onscreen being activated when the user clicks, and don't like having to use the Prev/Next Chapter buttons in the remote to navigate).
