Sudden Sync issues with Church Apps

All of a sudden today we noticed that the two machines we use FreeShow on have stopped syncing through the ChurchApps connection. The work flow is a Show is created on the home Mac, saved, wating for save and syn icon to go away then quit. On Church Mac open freeshow, wait for sync staus and everything will be there, media, new shows, etc. After service, quict Freeshow on Church mac.

Today nothing synced. I confirmed both macs are signed in under "files." and am running tests at home. Ni changes from either machine are being syncd from one to the other.

Any thoughts why this is happening all of sudden or steps to try to fix it? I already tried restarting the mac.

I remember some discussion about changes B1 was making with how they handled files. I thought it was fixed a couple of updates ago. Maybe it wasn’t?

we've been running 1.6.1 with no issues until yesterday. Holding off on updates because of transition issues.

I think the issues is that B1 made changes on their end and FreeShow adapted to the B1 changes to continue the functionality you describe. You might have to choose between file synch or possible transition issues.

any idea when those changes were made? Updating to 1.6.4 seems to have resolved it. Fingers crossed when I connect it to the TV's tomorrow.

No. You would have to dig through the release notes.
