All channels off at end
« on: December 15, 2015, 10:18:26 AM »
When you check the box when doing a LOR conversion.  How is this noted in the sequence .xml file?

I don't know if that box does anything.  My sequences appear to cut everything off at the end by default even when I have effects going past the end so I'm not sure what is cutting them off.  I run in FPP so not sure if it defaults to cutting everything off at the end of a sequence.

Thanks.  We are still troubleshooting an issue where a repeating sequences on the FPP blanks at end and I was wondering if there might be something in the xLights sequence that I did that could be causing it.  I read the xml and didn't see anything either.

In my experience it is usually because my music is slightly longer than the sequence I did, but the sound has faded out.  But I don't mind as long as the black only last a couple of seconds.  Provides a little break point between songs.

That's a good one to watch for.  Thanks.  The issue I'm trying to track down is with an animation only sequence.

This bug should be fixed in FPP v1.6 as of last night.  I merged a patch that I put into v1.7 a week ago and several users reported it fixed their issues in v1.6 with the lights turning off between sequences.

Cool thanks.  My FPP has been rock solid and this is minor so I don't want to take any chances on an update now.  I'll upgrade when the season is over.

Thanks captain !

I had wondered why that occurred , but just accepted that , that was the case as the combination of xLights and the FPP is just awesome !

When I was much younger maybe.  Now I find boring is good.  For some reason I treat my show like a production server at work.  And this is supposed to be a hobby!
