FPP randomly (usually) skips the last sequence of playlist

Ok, if this topic is covered elsewhere please forgive me. I tried searching for this issue, but did not find it. If anyone has a link to the solution to this issue, or where it has already been discussed, that would be helpful, instead of re-inventing the wheel.

This is my first year with FPP and X-Lights, and I have a pre-show playlist, which starts at sunset and then a 4 sequence playlist that starts at 6:30pm (we live in Brazil). The issue is that randomly--better, usually--FPP skips the last sequence of the 4 and starts over without playing the last sequence. Occasionally, it surprises me and plays it. I tried eliminating any dead space where the music stops before the sequence ends by adding at least an 0n/off effect that coincides with the end of the sequence. I renamed all my sequences and audio files to eliminate spaces in the names. Any suggestions? Tonight I am going to try changing up the order to see what happens.

Does the show playlist run on repeat or are you scheduling the preshow to start again?  Kinda sorta sounds like you might be trying to schedule show start times and that can be a losing scenario in my mind.

Both the pre-show and the main show are set to repeat until the determined time to end is reached. The pre-show never re-starts once the main show begins.

I believe I figured it out. 
1. I had scheduled the main show to repeat every 10 minutes, thinking it would start 10 minutes after ending. So I believe my repeat timer was actually interrupting the show most of the time, but not always. Now I changed it to repeat immediately.

2. I found some transitions in the 3rd sequence (before the final one that usually got skipped) that were longer than the effect, apparently. I lengthened the effects in question and "fixed" the sequence, no more warnings.

So, between those 2 things, last night all the sequences played. Thanks for chiming in, guys, it did point me in the right direction.

Merry Christmas all!

Glad you got it working if you have trouble in the future the schedule preview tool is great to help in figuring out why it does not do what you think it should. In my case it is always doing what I told it to do but not what i thought it should.
