Title: multitple shows
Post by: THurrle on February 15, 2015, 10:27:03 AM

I am running 2 shows in two different locations. One I hope to put on FPP and the other I would like to convert the vixen sequences to xlights and move the files to one of  my windows 7 computers. I sequence on a totally different computer. Can I use just the one computer to sequence and then convert the sequences to xlights for both shows and have my models and preview for each show in xlights? I am not sure how to set this up for two different shows.
Thanks
Terry

xLights is setup so you can have multiple show folders so you could have one folder for your christmas show and another for a halloween show.  So what that means is everything you need to run the show is in the files contained in that show folder.  The xlights_networks.xml file contains the hardware config from the setup tab and the xlights_rgbeffects.xml contains the models.  Then you just need your sequence and music files.  So just install xlights on the 2nd computer and select a show directory and copy all the files over.
