No Output From Setup

[lightfreak]

After a major crash with Vixen 3 right before my show and the program will not even open for me even after a reinstall I did a search and found XLights with the auto sequencer to try and save my show this year.  My set up consist of 3 universes coming from the DIYLED Express Bridge, 128 channels for my Renard Controllers, 2 and 3 set up for 75 pixels each coming from a pixel extender.  The Bridge is set up as a E1.31 devise running multicast from a second NIC card from my computer.  After getting a couple of sequences done and testing them in the preview I hooked my Renard 64XC to the bridge and went to my Preview Screen in XLights loaded a sequence, had output to lights box checked and nothing appears on my Renard controller.  I expected to see the channel LED's dancing but nothing, am I missing something? I know its late but in advance I would to thank you for any advise.

Once your Nutcracker setup page matches the hardware config, it will work!

post your SETUP page from xlights. Also post your xlights_rgbeffects.xml
as stated above, many people have used different hardware. The secret is getting the SETUP tab correct. To test the Tab go to TEST , click output to lights and try turning on one channel for the beginning of each model.

Here are my set up pages as requested, also what  does "First Strand for Export" mean and when does one choose the Individual Start channel  box ??

Thank you

Hello one and all
Made a little bit progress today by hooking up my Renard64XC to my computer with a usb to serial port and changed some of my set up to match that controller and got some blinky lights today.  Before my crash with Vixen3 when I set up my Bridge I specified with NIC port to use, "Multicast Ethernet 2", by the way my second NIC adapter is USB to Ethernet if that makes a difference.   I used the OBTAIN INTERNET ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY box and it talked to the bridge.  In XLights do we have that option. I could not find it anywhere.  Being very new to this program I may have overlooked something.

Thank you
