I realize that I'm probably doing this way old-school, but I've noticed with recent upgrades (6.1.10) to Indigo, that our morning alarms are behaving intermittently. Here is the script, set to run on a schedule:
- Code: Select all
tell application "Finder"
set volume 4
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
set sound volume to 20
play user playlist "iTunes WAMU"
end tell
The bottom line is sometimes the audio is not playing and sometimes it is. We've been manually triggering the script via an action and then it works. (to an extent) It also seemed initially, after doing v6 upgrades/updates, that I needed to manually execute any schedule or actions that run these scripts to get them working again.
I was thinking it's possibly our lame Verizon DSL connection, but it had been very reliable until recent updates. But while slow, our internet has been reliable, we watch a lot of various streaming services (HBO Now, Netflix, Amazon Prime) in the evenings. Just trying to rule out issues.
I had set this up as a series of schedules to provide a gradual wake up alarm clock years ago and it's been great. See the screen cap for the list of schedules. I have an action group to turn each on or off depending on the wake-up time. There is probably a better way!
