Falcon Pi Player / Re: Output setup in FPP for the Octoscrolla

« on: May 11, 2018, 11:03:31 AM »

The unclear part Gil was the upload output info from the settings menu in xlights to FPP. When you right click from the settings tab in xlights to upload the output info to FPP it displayed capes that were foreign to me. It's clear now that its not nessecary to upload output info from xlights in this application.

Thanks Gil! That's done. I was just wondering when I went to setup in xlights and right clicked on my p5 network e1.31 input it had an FPP option to send it to. When I right clicked and went to send to output it had a FPP cap option to send it too. Just curious.

Falcon Pi Player / Output setup in FPP for the Octoscrolla

My BBB is set up and the input universe settings were upload successfully to FPP for my P5 panels from Xlights. Do I need to set up the output section in FPP for the octoscolla too or is that only for "standalone" mode? If the output side needs to be setup, I'm not sure which cape to use. The output upload section in xlights lists several cape types but nothing that I recognize that apllies to the octoscolla.

While doing some research I ran across, and watched, Keith's video on configuring the FPP. However it stopped after discussing the input side of the FPP.

BTW I will be running the FPP in bridge mode.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

General Software / "Newer version avaiable" or "save or discard sequence before exit"

« on: April 20, 2018, 08:42:58 AM »

I have one song that when opening says that a newer version is available, or when I exit the song it asks to save or discard changes. What is baffling me is this is the only song that asks either question even though nothing has changed. After I work on the lyric track, for example, and save it, the next time its opened it tells me there's a newer version available. This sequence is stored and saved in the same show folder with all of my other songs yet this is the only song that will ask these questions when nothing has changed. None of the other songs do this.

Cheers

I've attached a notepad file with the face definitions, node layout for the phonemes, for the 46" Chromabulb. Insert them manually. I found it in an xml file.

Hopefully you seasoned pixel pushers can help. Is there an easy way to snap square pixels into the Boscoyo Monster Matrix panel? I've got 3560 left to go and my fingertips are already numb. Thanks.

Cheers

Yes. I uninstalled it through settings. After checking it found an older version, 2016.45. Uninstalled that one then did a restart. No xlight ref was in program files etc. Then did the new v7 install.

I uninstalled xlights, restarted the PC, then re-installed v7. I'm still having the same issue.
