Thx, the Christmas expo looks like an incredible event, I’m going to try and attend it. I’m also interested in learning how to set up accent lighting in my house and yard controlled via smart phone or amazon echo.

Events/Gatherings / xEssentials – Power Injection Pre-conversation
« on: March 21, 2018, 08:45:43 PM »
Great class tonight! thanks, my internet kept going down so I missed most of it, thanks for recording it.
Prior to the instruction a couple guys were talking about attending a lighting conference in China. I’m interested in attending one but don’t know where to start. Would you guys be willing to share planning recommendations on how to get the best bang for the time. Including which is the best conference to attend, hotels, transportation, registration, vendors/booths to visit, classes to attend, etc. - Thanks -

Happened again tonight, if you mean deselect fast start audio, i tried that and it didn't appear to make a difference.
Tonight instead of rebuilding the playlist and rebooting I restart the schedule multiple times until it played at the right speed. I just looked at the log file and found the following warning. [WARN] Playing multiple audio files with different sample rates with play at least one of them at the wrong speed.

I'm having a similar issue. The last two days my show sounds like it is playing at 1.5 speed. I ended up deleting my playlist and schedules rebooting the computer and creating a new playlist and schedule. On Monday it worked the first time, last night I had to rebuild and reboot 3 times before it played at the correct speed. Not sure what it could be, it's worked great since Thanksgiving.

Nutcracker Effects / Light Seperation Control
« on: February 20, 2017, 05:29:01 PM »
Is there any way to turn off every other light on a model (roof lines & windows)? I installed the lights on my house permanent this year with a 4" spacing. I would like to turn them on for other holidays, birthday celebrations, etc. Since i'm not syncing the lights to music I would like to wider separations. thx.

Bugs (Please dont post here, soon to be deprecated) / 2016.22 Transparency defaults to 1 when a new model is created
« on: May 01, 2016, 08:38:22 PM »
I setup all my wall washers and floods with a transparency of 80. If I try to copy a model or create a new one all my models with a custom transparency default back to 1.

The Water Cooler / Re: Street Lights
« on: February 16, 2016, 11:03:02 PM »
I use a laser to turn off the street light as well as my house lights. Two years ago I used S3 and configured a couple LOR channels in a background sequence. It worked great, at the beginning of my show my Xmiter, tune to sign, and lasers all turn on, at the conclusion of the show the lasers turn off and the street lights and my house lights turn on. This last year with xLights I had to use a timer, next year I plan on writing a script to control the the channels for my Xmiter and lasers. I actually get a few comments about the laser. The most asked questions is “why do I have a string of red yarn running from my house to the street light….”
So far the city hasn't told me to turn off the laser. I've won 1st place the last 3 years in our city contest so i would think they have noticed it, but you never know!

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: What is the most efficient method of deleting imported LOR RGB data?
« on: December 09, 2015, 05:41:56 PM »
If you find an answer to this let me know. I’ve tried everything I can think of and even when I’ve been able to delete the effects they come back when I render the sequence. The only solution I found was to put an xlight effect over top of the imported LOR effect, but I just had a case where that didn’t work. I’ve conceded to start from scratch with no imported effects.

Xlights Setup / Re: 360 degree Small Pixel Tree Setup
« on: December 05, 2015, 11:17:18 PM »
James,
After reading your post a couple times and reviewing the manual again I think I understand the setup right.
I attached a picture of my setup.
I had my configuration; Actual # of strings 16, # RGB Nodes per string 14, # Strands per string 1
I changed it to Actual # of strings 4, # RGB Nodes per string 56, # Strands per string 4
Thanks for clearing me up. I'll change all my trees and see what happens.

Xlights Setup / 360 degree Small Pixel Tree Setup
« on: December 05, 2015, 02:26:09 PM »
I have 6 small pixel trees that have a total of 16 “virtual” strings that are 14 pixels each. Each “virtual” string is part of a 56 pixel string that is folded 4 times. The problem is it looks great in xLights, however when I play the real tree every other string is upside down. With my mega tree I just reversed every other string in the controller (ECG-P2). Unfortunately the controller only allows you to configure 4 strings per universe and I have 8 strings per universe.
Is there a way to flip each string in xLights? I tried making a custom tree but it didn’t work.
thanks
