Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / P5 Panel color sequence issue

« on: October 08, 2021, 05:04:58 PM »

I'm not sure if this is a FPP issue or an Xlights issue or a user issue. I posted on Falcon Christmas forum but trying here as well since it "feels" more software related.
 I'm on xlights version 2021.31 and FPP remote driving a color light card running 5.2
I have two show directories in xlights, One for Halloween and one for Christmas.
Both show directories have idential matrix setups except for the start channels. Both have string properties set to RGB nodes. However when I push the fseq file from xlights to FPP the colors are wrong. In order to get them to display correctly I have to go into the FPP for the matrix and changes as follows:
From Halloween renders change LED default panel in FPP to color to RBG
From Christmas renders change LED default panel color in FPP to BGR
I suppose I could try changing in xlights and leave alone in FPP but it's really bizarre behavior especially since the change is not consistant between show directories. Anyone run into this before?
BTW I haven't noticed, not to say it's not happening on my panels with FPP hats (no colorlight)

Nutcracker Models / Re: Polyline setup

« on: October 25, 2019, 06:03:17 PM »

I had a similar situation with my roof line which is rectangular. I tried doing two poly lines but the chase and some of the other effects didn't work well. I wound up biting the bullet and doing 1 line and injecting 3 times. Maybe someone else knows assign two ports to a poly line but I don't.

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / 2019.46 Sizing issue

« on: September 04, 2019, 11:15:50 AM »

FYI, I upgraded from 2019.44 to 2019.46 and for the props made using "create new image" if I unlock them and then change either the image file location or image file name and try to re-lock them they shrink down to a tiny dot in the layout. however they will size correctly as long as I don't lock them.

From my experience so far they are not the most responsive.

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Cannot scroll to models on imported sequence due to large amount of timing track

« on: May 16, 2019, 12:09:19 PM »

I tried importing "This is Halloween" last night from the google drive. I followed the steps in Keith's video but when I open it this sequence has around a dozen timing tracks at the top of the sequencer which is fine. The problem is I can't scroll down to the models to make adjustments to the effects. I know the models are there because if I remove the timing tracks from the master view I can then see the models and then edit the sequence. However I'd like to have the timing tracks and be able to scroll down. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Video sometimes choppy or will not show in effect preview

« on: April 01, 2019, 11:12:36 AM »

Hi, I've been working on a Halloween sequence with several video clips in it. For the most part it works fine unless I move the video timing or butt them up against each other. In that case then the videos that worked ok previously start rendering choppy. If I separate them a little and re-render it normally fixes the problem but last night I tried adding another clip and it will not even preview. Worse yet it picked up some cropping I did for an earlier video and propagated that through all the videos, so now they won't preview. I reset the cropping to 0 and tried to re-render but xlights gets to about 80% and just sits there. This happened several times and I just wound up using task manager to restart xlights.
Has anyone else ever ran into this kind of issue? If so is there a workaround?

Enhancement Requests / Halloween Shapes

« on: March 28, 2019, 12:52:21 PM »

Can some Halloween related shapes be added as choices for the shapes effect? Perhaps something like Jack O Lanterns, bats, spiders, pentagrams, ghosts, flying saucers, etc
