Title: no xlights channel 1?
Post by: rickswa on September 21, 2017, 05:19:17 PM
I have a question about the LOR conversion.  In LOR, I changed all my channels to DMX before import and I have my models setup from channel 1 forward.  When I do the verbose channel map convert, it shows the first xlights import channel as 002, with no xlights channel 001 shown.  Every channel shows as being mapped into xlights as 1 higher that it is in my DMX channel setup in LOR.  It seems though (from what I have laid out testing now) that all my AC boxes function normal and where I used to plug channel 1 is still channel one, even thoough the channel map says it's importing as channel 2.  Any idea why there wouldn't be a channel 001 and how it would still seem to function normally as if it were channel 1 and the rest down the line?

Yes I just researched this because another user reported the same thing a few days ago on Github.  Apparently this got broken back in February and we fixed it in March for LOR Imports but not for LOR Converts.  It will be fixed for next release.

Thanks for the info!  I'll just stick with the import feature then since that seems to be just as easy with the mapping setup i did. That would explain why everything things to be working good for me but I just wanted to double check so I didn't get an unexpected surprise when I actually put up everything in the yard. Thanks again.
