xLights Convert / Re: Colors not converting from LOR to slights

« on: November 10, 2014, 07:43:26 PM »

So I solved the problem.  I created a 30 second sequence in xlights that toggles from red to green to blue every 10 seconds.  I had the order in my models set to RGB.  I then played the sequence and adjusted the color order on the F16 until the colors played correctly.

Now my sequences play the colors correctly.  What i did not test, and will do tomorrow, is to see how the Test tab in xlights drives the display.

So I tested my setup with the Test tab and the colors were incorrect.  I found that I could adjust the settings of R, G and B in the F16 setup program so I adjusted these so that the test tab correctly showed red, green and blue colors.  I then reset my models in xlights to be standard RGB output because I am now thinking that the F16 will properly rearrange the data to show colors right.  I then reconverted all LOR files to xseq files.  Then opened each xseq file in the Nutcracker tab and saved it.  Then converted xseq to fseq.

I checked the preview in xlights and it is now showing the correct colors.  But my tree is still off.

I hope someone can make sense of this because I am now really confused.

Thanks Sean,
I will try that when I get home.  I had setup a RGB sequence that played red for 10 secs, green for 10 secs and blue for 10 secs to validate the hardware.

What I am seeing is that the LOR sequence in the LOR sequence editor shows the color yellow.  When I convert and view in the preview window on xlights, it shows cyan.  So the display in slights is off.  If I then play the converted sequence to the hardware, it also shows the yellow as cyan.

Forgot to include that I am using 3.6.2 but have reverted back to 3.4.22 and same thing was happening.

I have a sequence that I purchased using CCRs.  I converted that sequence to RGB and reformatted to fit my mega tree.  I convert the sequence from LMS to XSEQ and it plays fine.  However, it seems that the colors are not converting.  For instance, yellow comes across as a cyan color.  Green seems to come across fine.

My mega tree was weird in that I had to reorder R, G and B to make it work on some test sequences.  I thought it was standard RGB.  I am using a FPP as the player, a FPD to drive out pixelnet and a F16 to connect to the RGB strings.  Like I said, the sequence plays but colors don't match that of the LOR sequence.

Anyone have any experience with this?
