Need help locating scheduler in Xlights

[shnick2102]

I'm new to the pixel world so please forgive my vocabulary at times.  I'm in need of locating the scheduler tab or any Xschelduler at that matter.  I have gone through the process of activating my controller,testing my lights, and running a test sequence from my computer through Xlights output.  My only question now is where is that damn scheduler tab 😀. I only have 3 tabs I can choose...controller, layout and sequence. Nothing showing schedule.  I've even tried all the drop down menus across the top.  Nothing....can someone please help?

It is a separate executable .. likely installed a link on your desktop.

Thank you very much. I'll look for it but haven't found anything yet that was downloaded on top my desktop. I'm using a MacBook Air and wondering if that has anything to do with the download.  Worst case I delete everything and start from scratch. It will be good practice 😁

I believe that xSchedule on Mac OSX has been deprecated.  I think the last time it was included, was in one of the late 2019 downloads.  I went to go find those, but the archives all point to the Apple Appstore page now.  So, if you aren't finding an xSchedule binary on OSX, you aren't crazy.

Looking at my own machine, the binary for xSchedule is from Dec 3, 2019, while xLights is from Sep 12, 2020. 

I believe that it was becoming too burdensome to keep it forked for OSX, combined with low usage on the platform.  In general, the recommendation is often to utilize FPP on a Raspberry Pi.

I think you may be onto something.  Somehow and I don't know how I downloaded an old version of Xlights which i just checked now and it had Xscheduler attached to it.  To my delight i quickly moved it to my desktop and made sure it opened.  So far it works but haven't tested anything yet.  Fingers crossed everything plays well with each other.  Thanks for not making me thing Im going crazy...lol
