Xlights Setup / Re: xLights64_2019_53.exe ransomware false positive?

« on: September 27, 2019, 05:10:04 AM »

I got same result, ignore it. For whatever reason ,windows doesn't like xlights. So i assume  Malawarebytes is using same excuse/reason for coming up bad. As for Gil's comment if your not sure, it is sarcasm/joking.

xLights Convert / Re: Dying to convert from LOR - S5

« on: September 09, 2019, 04:19:36 AM »

IF you feel that way I'm sorry if i offended , you and the team put up with the dumb shit we ask time and time again, and it must wear thin at times if not always. But we are a community and civility is not hard to maintain even when dealing with a bunch of idiots (i place myself in the idiot bunch).
So once again thankyou for all your work and no i don't except or you or anyone to be doormat.
cheers mate all the best

keithsw1111, at least add please to your statement. Your comment hardly comes across as welcoming, rather more as a scolding. Apologies if that's not what you meant, but its not a great look.
Cheers and thankyou for all that you and the other dev's continue to do to Xlights and the community,
cheers Boof63

Nutcracker Effects / Re: the video effects are Red on my P10 panel

« on: March 19, 2019, 04:31:40 AM »

hi , this may not apply but...., are the video panels actually RGB, ie Red displays red, Blue displays blue etc.
 MY P10's were fine but some of my other strips were RBG, BGR, etc so i had to change those strings at the controller, just maybe apnels aren't RGB, but some other format, hence colour is off- longshot i  know,

Nutcracker Models / Re: Matrix setup

« on: January 15, 2019, 10:21:05 PM »

Hi , i run my horizontal 32 strg x 75 pix. (ink1003).  Got ray to make them up and add the pigtails (cost was $1.00/strg i think extra). What size are you actually planning to make?
as for refresh rates etc, i will defer to all higher authorities (got no idea- sorry)

HLS / Re: Has anyone had success importing HLS sequences to Xlights?

« on: January 13, 2019, 06:41:32 PM »

Converting to XL from HLS is a breeze, the only problem is it doesn't work as intended.
All your effects come across at the node level,  not at the model level that XL generally works in.
The effects generally import ok, the problem is because they are at node level you can't edit them- add or subtract them they stay permanently, if you are happy with the conversion then fine. But if you wish to change things around, add another Xl effect at a certain spot and an existing HLS effect is there they will clash because you cant delete the HLS effect.
So longwinded explanation im sorry, rebuild all your sequences in XL from scratch. HAve two computers alongside so you can run HLS and XL and find effects that mirror the HLS effect you are viewing, the only way i found to convert all my HLS sequences satisfactorily. If someone has a smoother way then please run with it, yes its tedious but in the long run you do learn XL a lot quicker.

General Software / Re: xlights doesn’t see my lights!

« on: December 21, 2018, 05:47:40 PM »

check power supply to alphapix, is it actually on, is ethernet cable plugged into computer and alpha.
Do you have multimeter, check for power & data on each output.
what version of xlights are you running, if you can ping the controller then network should be good.
Have you re-rendered all the sequences on the new install. ?
Try using xlights (turn on lightbulb) and see if its xlights, if XL works then try xschedule.

Nutcracker Effects / Re: Fade across all models

« on: December 19, 2018, 10:11:01 PM »

This may work :- place your "Whole house Model" at the bottom of the  model views and the apply the fade, the other models effects will be seen whilst the fade will appear on models without specific  effects
