Title: Animation Loop - Continuous
Post by: bhagan77 on October 22, 2016, 09:52:51 AM

Hello all,

After my main show runs and is done for the night, I like to have some of my elements just run color fades through the night.

I created a 30 second XL animation and saved it, then created a playlist/schedule etc and it does the fades, but at the end of the 30 second, there is a blip on/off where it restarts the sequence.

Coming from LOR I used to run it as a background sequence so that didn't happen.  Is there an equivalent in XL?

Thank you!

After my show ends I have a sequence that turns on just my gutter line in a shade of green at 50% brightness.  i call it my night light sequence,  I've never noticed a blip, but would suggest you check your sequence to make sure the effect goes exactly to the end of your 30 sec and starts exactly at the beginning.  It might also have something to do with the fade start and stop points.

Also be aware that you need two schedule entries one that runs to 24:00 and one that starts at 00:00 since the Pi currently does not know how to cross the midnite boundary.
