PC can't find show directory
« on: February 15, 2016, 05:48:26 PM »
I'm learning Xlights and just downloaded beta ver 2016.7.  I'm following Seans vimeo video on how to create new sequence.  I created a show file but the media file does not show up the same on xlights. I added a sound file then I  selected e131, 510 channels, 4 universes and then clicked show directory and when I did my computer tells me that no items match my result. I then tried to link the show and media directories on xlights but still same result. What am I missing?

What and how are you trying to open?  I am confused by your message.

I don't know actually.  I am trying to create a new sequence.  Under setup tab I selected e131, 4 universes, 510 channels, and go to click Select Show Directory and thet is when I get no items match my search

On the Setup page where it says "Show Directory" does it list a directory to the right of the "Change" button?  If so then you already have it set.  If something says "no items match my search" let me see a screenshot.

I see what you're seeing and it's not a problem.  When it says "No items match your search" that just means you are in a directory that has no sub-folders.  Just click OK if that's the directory you wanted to set as your show folder.
