I've noticed a few sequences where the FSEQ file, transferred using FPP Connect and sparse/zstd, where the Sparse file is actually larger than the "full sized" FSEQ file on my xLights PC.
For example, a new file using a lot of shaders, and outputting to a large P5 panel (48 panels), the file size on the PC is 152.4MB and the sparse file on the P5 panel is 187.6MB
There are 2 or 3 others like that, though most of the time, the Remote's sparse/zstd files are noticeably smaller.
Anyone else noticed this? Is it perhaps a zstd compression anomaly where the full FSEQ compresses better than the sparse file? In which case, shouldn't I just use the smaller file?
Going down the list, I found two more of note, both of the Xlights Around the World songs
Christmas Every Day - 312MB on PC, 516MB on P5 Remote
2019 XLAW (Drummer Boy) - 618MB on PC, 733MB on P5 Remote
