Title: Uploading to FPP
Post by: rmaddox on January 04, 2020, 03:57:36 PM

I can't get anything to load into my FPP for xLights.  I used x schedule for my show this year and it worked great.  I'm trying to set up FPP to run it next year.  I have two F16v3 controllers and an AlphaPix 16.  I went to tools and did FPP connect and it found my FPP and I selected the files I wanted and uploaded, but nothing uploaded.  I also right clicked on an individual line on the set up page and went to upload to controller, output, either AplhaPix or Falcon, and uploaded.  It showed it was uploading but nothing went to FPP.  I refreshed FPP and also restarted, but nothing. I'm using v3.5.   I can always upload manually I guess, but uploading from Xlights would be a lot easier.

 I decided to go ahead and manualy configure FPP and I tested my set up on the FPP test page and it worked fine.  Colors were correct, every thing worked as it should, but when I tried to run a sequence, only 3 random pixels came on.  I tried a couple of more times and the same 3 pixels came on, but everything else was black.  The sequence was playing, but no lights.  I attached some log files.

How about starting with a screenshot of your FPP Connect page.

How much available space do you have for those FSEQ files?
If you don't have enough (or have the small boot partition selected) you'll see that problem.

Logs show plenty of space. (11GB)    Nothing jumps out.  No problems in the apache logs.  Thus, it might be on the xLights side.   Is there anything in the xLights logs that indicates a problem uploading?

I am having a similar issue, I believe. I can download sequences and audio from FPP, but when I try to use the Tools...FPP connect, it acts as if the upload is working, but when I go to the FPP, I can't find the files.  My SD card has a small partition and a larger 11GB free partition.

Disk Utilization   
Root Free Space:   10.98 GiB (76%)
Media Free Space:   10.98 GiB (76%)

I don't see a way in FPP Connect to select a partition.  Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Harry

Where the file "goes" on your FPP instance is determined by which "Storage Device" is shown in FPP Settings or Advanced Settings.

If your choice there is the smaller partition, then there probably isn't enough room.
Change it to the largest partition listed. Reboot. Try again.
