Without exception, every problem I've had with wrong logs loading has been
due to a timed event issue.
For instance, let's say you have a timed station ID that runs at 23:59:50
and is followed by a CHAIN to the next day's log.
If there isn't enough material in the 11 PM hour to fill it, the ID may
run at, say, 23:59:10. The next day's log will load and start, but if that
log has the same timed event at 23:59:50, then when that time arrives it
will skip everything on that day's log, run the ID, and then try to load
the *next* day's log.
The problem arises from each day beginning at 00:00:00.0 rather than the
UNIX time stamp corrresponding to midnight on that day. Rivendell
therefore can't tell one day's 23:59:50 from another's, so if you tell it
do something at a time anywhere near midnight, it will happen regardless
of what day it may be when the log runs.
A timed event scheduled shortly after midnight can also be problematical
if the 11 PM hour runs late.
The only foolproof solution is to put a STOP transition on any timed event
scheduled near the end of the 11 PM hour. If the hour is under-programmed,
Rivendell will stop and wait for the clock before proceeding.

There was a discussion on one of the Facebook groups about Rivendell loading
the wrong logs and it was suggested that the 'chain to' event was happening
after midnight, which was causing the issue. I have to say I don't believe
that is the cause - mine is set for 23:59:00 and although it sometimes is
after 00:00 before the actual next day's log loads, it normally works
correctly. As the name of the log is also automatically set when the log is
created, (or can be set manually) surely it shouldn't matter when the event
takes place, as long as the correct log is specified. Today for example,
Rivendell was playing the log for 25th August, when it should have been
playing 24th August and that was specified in the 'chain to' event last
night.
