Title: Output to Lights Feature Not Working in 2020.23
Post by: Cableboy on June 06, 2020, 03:43:22 PM

Hello all! I was attempting to do live output to some ESPixelSticks via multicast on a sequence I've been working on. I'm running xLights on my MacBook Pro. Everything was working fine on version 2020.22. I upgraded to 2020.23 and now the ESPixelSticks do not react to the live output.

I reinstalled 2020.22 and everything is working as expected again. So, I tried reinstalling 2020.23 to see if that would help and it stopped working again. Could this be a 2020.23 bug or has something changed in 2020.23 that I'm missing?

Thanks!

I cannot reproduce...   If I turn on output to lights, my controllers are all getting the expected data.

Thanks for taking a look, Dan. Strange.

Ah ha! I figured it out!

I had set a Global FPP Proxy IP in the 'Controllers' section of xLights. The Raspberry Pi with that IP was offline. I removed the Global Proxy and it's working again.

Is it possible that pre-2020.23 was ignoring that proxy setting or is it unexpected behavior to fail to output to lights with a proxy set where the device is offline?

I'm currently running 2020.26.1 from the Mac App Store.

Thanks!
