Splitting a FSEQ file into multiple parts

[rjhodgefamily]

So I am trying to figure out if there is a way in lights or another software to generate multiple FSEQ files for my sequences. We greatly expanded our show this year, we finally made the jump into smart lights. So we included a bunch of new hardware and the programmer in me wants to optimize what is actually on each of the devices.

We have:
1 Universe of old Lynx Expresses running DMX driven by a RPi3B and FPP
84 Universe P10 Matrix running on a BBB using FPP
1 Universe for 8 Singing Faces that all run on the same universe and using 8 Falcon Pi Caps and FPP
27 Universes running pixels nodes off of 14 E131 ESPixelSticks all run by 1 RPi3B and FPP and a dedicated router
1 RPi3B master running FPP and running the FM Transmitter

Obviously the P10 matrix uses the most and causes the FSEQ file to bloat like no tomorrow. Ideally each of the above would only have the bare minimum they need to run. No need to transmit all that data when some devices won't need it.

So is there currently a way to accomplish this or would I need to split each section into its own sequence and render them separately.

Thanks,
Richard

Most folks deploy the fseq onto falcons and use sync packets instead of sending data over the network to their p10.

Xlights can also create eseqs which are single model fseq files but their use cases are limited to typically background playlists.

For my tune to p10 which is not sequences into the show but standalone I just have a separate show folder and I create an fseq just for the panel.

But if you sequence the p10 with your show it has to be in the fseq.

So the way we have it set up right now is each FPP (either a RPi or BBB, 12 in total) has the full fseq file and the Master Pi which is not outputting to lights at all sends the sync packet to each of the 11 slave devices. My concern is the E1.31 wifi ESPixelsticks which receive data from one of the slaves wirelessly. Unless there is a way on the slave fpp to tell it to only transmit the universes I need for those pixelsticks.

I am still way too new to smart leds.
