issue with single pixel model related to model chaining and channels

[993-5150]

I am running 19.67, and have a string that combines 4 flood lights (1-pixel), and 4 small trees (25 pixels).  They are chained flood1>tree1>flood2>tree2>flood3>tree3>flood4>tree4.

When defining the layout, and trying to set up these models, the channels do not increment for the first single pixel flood, and each model chained after it gets the same starting channel.

I did have this working, but ran into other issues, so I restarted defining the channels for the models (many times due to issues related to controller setup in xlights - probably my mistake*s*).

I have FPP3.5.2, and F16v3 2.55.  I have been trying to get both DDP and ZCPP working from xlights through FPP to the F16, and I think FPP supports one protocol but not the other, and the F16 supports one of those protocols, and it is not the one supported by FPP.  Is this correct?

Would having any files from my layout help with determining if this is my problem or an xlights problem?

Thanks,
Greg

I was able to correct the model chaining/channel issue by recreating the models in my layout.

I have no idea what was going on before, other than the layout must have been corrupt.

This was a weird problem, but I don't think it is worth investigating from a DEV standpoint.
