Title: One of my single channels is not working in Xlights
Post by: Realtor Mike on November 26, 2015, 02:16:33 PM
Sean helped me with my setup and was very helpful.  Everything is working except for one of my single strand channels.  It works in test mode, but not when running a sequence.

I'm wondering if the channel on the model isn't correct?

When u say not working - is that it does not come on or does but incorrectly ?

Check that the color assigned is correct and matches your definition or is white - this is the most common problem.


If that is correct - then try dropping a White ON for 5 secs in a new seq and see what happens (to ensure that there is no overlap with another model definition)

Here is an update that perhaps will help you help me.  The channel in question works on one of my five sequences, so it has to be a software issue is my guess.  What do you suggest?

Might help to post an image of the sequence data and model properties of the sequence/channel that does not work.

Screen shot of model screen, screen shot of the sequencer tab that shows effects dropped on that model. Use windows snipping tool to make screen shots or do a print screen and then paste into paint

Sean, this was from the model setup you and I did on the phone. Nothing is coming up on the preview, but the lights work except for the House Upper.

post picture of setup tab, also post picture of model screen showing House Upper.
Test the channel using the TEST tab for that particular channel.

Here are the screen shots with House Upper below the matrix, and the test worked fine.  Do you think I should try and reconvert the LOR files?

After I sent those screen shots, I decided to try one more thing.  I opened one of my sequences and re-imported effects to refresh my models.  The first was a success and I did it to the other sequences and everything now works.  Thank you for being patient and working with me.  We shall see how tomorrow night goes.
