Do You Need Help? Post it here / XSchedule help with triggers
« on: November 29, 2021, 09:21:38 PM »
I have three things I'm trying to do with Xschedule:
House #1) I have a song selector I built that lets viewers pick any of 24 songs. When a button is pressed, the appropriate song takes over from the set playlist and works correctly. When the song is done, the song it interrupted continues from the point of the button press. I would like it, instead, to just start the next song on the main playlist. Is this possible? I tried adding a Command to "play next in current playlist" but that doesn't work.
House #2) I have a show on a second house (completely separate from the house in my first question) that just runs a simple animation display but also has triggers to switch colors and turn the display on and off.
a) Is it possible to have a triggered event loop until cancelled? For example, the house is normally red/white but one night I want it green/white. The trigger will work but only runs once and then goes back to the normal red/white.
b) I have a trigger to turn off the lights. Sometimes this works, sometimes the lights just stop their animation but stay on. The trigger does not produce consistent results. The Event I'm using for this is "Stop All Now." Is there a more appropriate step?

Thanks Keith. I'll go the dummy prop route.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Null pixels in the middle of strings (between props)
« on: August 22, 2021, 10:52:31 AM »
Trying to figure the best way to have null pixels between connected props. In the past, it has been suggested to make a virtual string or manually enter the start channel. With Auto Config enabled, I don't believe manually entering a start channel is possible. What is currently the best way to accomplish this?

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Re: Mac 2021.11 Output to lights
« on: April 15, 2021, 10:10:45 PM »
I do have "Auto Upload to Controllers" set on the one controller that gives me that option (a Pi4) but, I think the problem is coming from a PixCon16. When the PixCon16 is connected, Output to lights takes over a minute to turn on. If I disconnect the PixCon16, Output to lights is immediate.
On a side note, I've noticed that I cannot Upload Output to the PixCon16. It works correctly if I manually set it up, just can't use the Upload feature. Does anyone know if that should work? Possibly just an issue with my PixCon. I tried the most recent firmware but that didn't change anything.

Turning on Output to Lights now takes over 60 seconds on my Mac Pro. This used just take a couple seconds. Anyone else have this issue?

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Selecting multiple effects with timing marks active
« on: March 02, 2021, 07:21:36 PM »
In the Mac version of Xlights, is it possible to select multiple effects without turning off timing marks? Maybe by holding down a modifier key while dragging the mouse?

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / Mac Xlights hangs on quit after changing computer output audio
« on: March 02, 2021, 07:16:41 PM »
Mac Xlights hangs on quit after changing computer audio output with sequence open
MacOS 11.2.1
Xlights 2021.06
Repeatable scenario:
1) Open any music sequence
2) Change audio output (speakers to BT headphones for example)
3) Sequence will no longer play but I am able to save, make changes, etc
4) When closing sequence or quiting Xlights, application will hang and force quit is required
5) Able to repeat issue on 3 separate computers.
First noticed the issue with 2021.05 but may have existed prior.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / InputPup with xSchedule
« on: February 21, 2021, 10:09:23 AM »
Switching to xLights this year and looking for some help with using my LOR inputPups with xSchedule. I?ve found the area to add a LOR event but not sure about the configuration. Does anyone know of a write-up or video that covers this? I use my input pups to control a bank of 20 buttons that let visitors select any song in my show.

Sorry, hadn't had a chance to play with the preferences. Got back on that computer tonight and found the "RowHeader Text" color was set to black. Changed to white and can now see the headers. Thanks!

I have the same issue on two computers. Mac and PC. So, I don't believe it is the video card drivers.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / Master View - Can't read prop names
« on: January 29, 2021, 11:50:18 PM »
Just installed XLights for the first time. Created a layout and started my first sequence. Unfortunately, the master view window is black and all the prop names are invisible unless I click on them. Is there a setting to change the view? This happens on the Mac and PC versions. Screen shot attached. Thanks!
