General Software / Re: xScheduler

« on: December 13, 2020, 10:15:16 PM »

I understand the concern about xSchedule being either an extra piece of software that gets installed with no option to skip and about xSchedule always being a part of xLights, and I realize that xLights started off a a show runner for either Matt or Sean's LOR show about 9 years ago.  However, I don't think Dan makes very little or any money off of FPP and xLights.  Also, many of the vendors for this hobby are fellow hobbyists who created a product or products to fulfill a need, has it manufactured (or makes it themselves), runs their on-line store and stores the inventory in their garage.  Also, most of these folks are either selling the products at cost or with a razor thin margin.  Like Dan, David Pitts (I think David Pitts of Falcon Controllers has a full time job), and others most have full time "day" jobs.  There are some like John H. from Central, LA whose store Boscoyo grew to the point it became a full-time job and earlier this year they finally opened a facility that is not located on their residential property.  I am more than grateful that Dan, David, John, and others have created the software and hardware to make this hobby much easier.  After all, both FPP and xLights/xSchedule are free and I know xLights is open source and I think FPP might be, but I am not sure.  If you are a software developer, ask Dan and Capt Murdoch, etc. what you can do to help.  Thanks,   Tom

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Bulk Controller Upload

« on: December 10, 2020, 11:43:15 PM »

This evening I added some models and when I went to do a bulk controller upload, I got several each of these messages:

WARN: Gap in models on pixel port xx channel xxxxx to xxxxx.
WARN: Gap in models on pixel port xx smart remove x channel xxxxx to xxxxx.
ERR: Port xx has a mix of models with smart and non smart remotes.

When I review my setup I cannot find where I have a mix of smart and non-smart remotes on any channels.  Channels 17 - 30 should be 3 smart remotes and channels 21 - 24 should be 1 non-smart remote.

I have attached a screen print.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Tom

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Using 2 Monitors

« on: September 20, 2020, 09:17:11 PM »

All,

I have a (probably stupid) question:

Is there a way in xLights to move the layout tab to a different monitor?  I need to "spread out" my xLights "desktop" so my 53 year old eyes can see everything on 2 21" monitors and I am not sure the best way to do that.

Thanks,

Tom
