Hi Thomas, It sounds like you should be using event.packet rather than event.record. Archive records are found in event.record, loop packets are found in event.packet. It's a subtle but important distinction. You have probably moved on from the code you posted above, and I probably should have mentioned it earlier, but I would avoid method names such as def new_archive_packet(). There is nothing wrong with using that name per se, but since we have loop packets and archive records it does tend to create a little confusion, something like def new_archive_record() and def new_loop_packet() would be better.
