Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: Having issues with "Set End Null Pixel"

I tried using the Start Null as well with basically the same results. I plan on starting over from scratch post-holidays from controllers up. Too many changes tweaks and feature additions to the original layout.

Also, I thought the ESPixel was supported but mine is an original version so it may just be too old for that.

Slightly different situation here. That video describes null pixels internal to the model. These are between the models. So they are on different model strings.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding something or just getting weird results. I have three models that are closely spaced so when I wired them I just continued the physical string through all three giving me null pixels between the models. When I set them up in xLights, I added the null pixels in the "Set End Null Pixel" field. However, the null pixels still light. I've tried various combinations of pixel count and Start and Stop End Null Pixel settings. No matter what combination I try, the pixels are lit, it just changes what model they light with. Tried it with two separate controllers.

Is there a way to do this using the "Set End Null Pixel" or do I just create dummy models for the nulls?

Model1 has 69 pixels and 2 nulls
Model2 has 45 pixels and 3 nulls
Model3 has 73 pixels and 8 nulls

Do You Need Help? Post it here / xLights 2019.36 freezing when adjusting house preview on second monitor

« on: July 29, 2019, 11:07:14 AM »

Repeatable at will. When I undock the house preview and move it to the second monitor it will often freeze/crash the entire program. The more the window is moved or resized, the more likely the freeze.  This seems to have only started since I put a background image (1080x607 JPG) in the house preview. Sometimes it will restart with the house preview docked but if not the only recovery is to restore a previous xlights_rgbeffects.xml file. Xlights log is attached.

Addendum: just managed to reproduce this on the primary monitor as well.

Any ideas?

Software: xLights 2019.36 64bit
System: 4.0GHz i7 PC with NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970
Monitors: primary - 3840x2160, secondary - 1920x1080

Thanks,
Tom
