Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: cannot get AC lights effects to work

« on: October 16, 2017, 03:06:50 PM »

it is working and apparently I did not discover why it was not, as I am not able to replicate the problem anymore. I am baffled, but it is working and all's well that ends well. thanks

NEVERMIND. just figured it out. I discovered that I had to have the green ON box '"on" to get effects on the timeline.

thanks for everyone's help.

Well that was short lived. I cannot get it to put effects in again. it will only draw a white rectangle around the time that I try to put in a ramp effect or any other effect. any idea what I am doing wrong? I am feeling pretty ignorant.

I think it may have something to do with timing marks. I have the normal New Timing track and I created another one. but I do not have any timing marks like you have in your example. I vaguely remember havin gto create those in the past, but in looking at the manual the process to do so seems to have changed? I cannot get marks like you show.

sorry but sure appreciate your help.

thank you. I just tried that and it does not work either. is there something special I need to do with the model?

thanks, yes I did. I can click on effects like a ramp, but they will not pull down to the sequence. could it be something in the layout config? I did set them up to be single color and I did specify the port and renard as the type. I hope I can get this going, I have the guys coming over in a couple of hours to show them.

that does not seem to work for me. I thought it would be the same as the pixel effects. when I try to select and drag an AC effect, nothing happens.

I have worked extensively with Xlights and pixels. now trying to get a couple of guys going with their AC lights. I set up a renard and have it working. I created a model with a single color type for the lights.

I then started a sequence, activated the AC lights toolbar and cannot drag ramps or any effect to the sequence. What am I missing.

thanks for any help you can provide.

Falcon Pi Player / Help Please - Xlight sequences that were running on FPP- now do not run

« on: November 23, 2016, 12:58:50 PM »

I had my sequences running in the display and they were working great. i wanted to make a couple of edits to 2 sequences in Xlights. i deleted the old ones from the playlist and added the newer version. now none of the sequences run.

all ran fine before. if i run just the sequence with no mp3 they will run. but they worked fine with the MP3s i had before.

there were 4 sequences that worked before that i did not touch and they wont run either.

what did i do wrong? Sure would appreciate some help.
