Enhancement Requests / Trim function

« on: November 15, 2021, 01:57:31 PM »

Hi,

Don't know if it really doesn't exist, but at least I cannot find it.
I would love a trim function where you can select part of the timeline and trim everything around it.

Why? I want to reuse parts of my sequence of last year, but I had a mix of 10 minutes and only want to use a few minutes.

Xlights Setup / Uploading configurations from xlights to F16V3 and remote-FPPs

« on: October 26, 2021, 03:14:44 PM »

Hi all,

I am having a bit of a struggle in auto configuring my FPPs.

My setup is:
- F16V3
- FPP-master (plays sequence and should have the F16V3 universes)
- 2x FPP (remotes) both running 2 ports of ws2811s

I have setup the F16V3 and 2xFPPs in xlights/controllers and the "upload outputs" works like a charm.

Then I want to upload the configuration into the FPP-master, which I do via FPP connect.
I select UDP-out = all and press upload.

Now the problem:

In the FPP master, in the E1.31 tab, I have three entries, for 2x FPP and the F16V3, where I only expected the latter... when I did it all manually (last year ) I never had to add the FPPs (remotes)

Hope you get the problem and have a solution

tnx
Denie

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Customer model - string works backwards

« on: December 02, 2019, 02:34:50 PM »

Hi,

I have created a few custom model, most of them work fine.

But with one of them the ordering of the pixels while playing is the exact reverse of what I have modelled.. If I use the single strand effect, the effect starts at the last pixel and than works its way towards the first...?

In case others have the same problem, upgrading to the newest FPP version solved the problem

Falcon Pi Player / Upload to FPP not succesful

« on: November 27, 2019, 03:17:45 PM »

I have created a sequence in XLights and want to upload this to my PIs.
On an old version (I think FPP 1. it is succesful but on the FPP 2.4 ones it is not succeeding.

I am uploading via Xlights which works as I tried several simpler sequences already.
I think it is about the size of the sequence, I already brought it back to minimal channels, but still it is 9 minutes and 20.000 channels resulting in about 500 MB fseq files.

Is my assumption about the size correct, and if so, what to do?
- upgrade the FPP version?
- split the sequence in parts (but how?)

thanks
Denie

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Re: Mega tree with uneven strands

« on: November 27, 2019, 03:07:56 PM »

Can I use the same features on a customer model, e.g. faces?
And (how) can I do this while I already have created my sequence, without loosing the effects of this prop?

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Mega tree with uneven strands

« on: November 27, 2019, 12:23:39 PM »

Hi,

I have a problem setting up my mega tree.
As I am using a controller with 4 outputs and also want to light the star on top with it, I have an uneven number of strands. As you can see in the attachment, I use 4 strings, first three have 500 pixels and the last has 400 (as I need the last channels for my star).

As the strings start at the bottom, I cannot tell xlights it is one string, so I have to model it as 4 strings. Xlights only allows me to model 5 strands of 500 pixels each, but if I do that, I have 100 pixels too much.. (overlapping the channels with my star).

So, how can I get rid of the last 100 pixels in my 4th string? Or describe each string length?

hope there is an option, otherwise I need to add a dedicated controller for my star..

regards
Denie
