I allow xLights to have complete control of my controllers. When I move a light string from one controller to another, xlights changes the start/end channels accordingly. (Subtracts from one and adds to another) Xlights updates the new start/end channel data to the controllers correctly, but it does not update the FPP Player "Input/Output Setup"\ "Channel Outputs" page. So when I move a light string, everything is good on the Falcon controllers, but FPP has outdated start/end channel information.
When I "FPP Connect", I can select "UDP Output" to "All" and it will update the Start/End Channels on the FPP player, but in the process it enables the "Monitor" feature on ALL the controllers as well. I can uncheck "Monitor" feature on the controllers that are powered off and all is good, but the next FPP Connect it turns them all back on again.
I have several controllers including spares and test boxes. This time of year most of them are in storage. Ideally a FPP connect "UDP Output" would leave the "Monitor" setting alone. I have used FPP connect a dozen times in one day before. It is not ideal when it turns monitoring on my inactive and off-line controllers every update. When they are monitored I will get a half page of red warning messages that the controllers are off-line.
I would prefer to manually modify the "Monitor" settings and for the "UDP Output" to leave that setting alone. At the very least for it to leave the inactive xlights controllers alone. I was wondering if there was a setting I am missing? It does not modify the "Monitor" setting when "UDP Output" is set to "None". I suppose I could manually select "UDP Output" to "All" when I make string changes, and then turn it back to "None" when I am just updating sequences.
Anybody have any suggestions?
