Hi Team,

Huge thanks for integrating Hinkspix smart receivers directly into xLights 2021.18.

I have 2 small matrices of 400 pixels each. There is a 12 metre (40 foot) distance between them. I was hoping to run the left matrix off one smart receiver (4 strings of 100 pixels) then daisy chain via ethernet cable to a 2nd smart receiver for the second matrix (4 strings of 100 pixels). See diagram

When I set this up in xLights using 2 smart receivers "A" and "B", without cascading, the visualiser thinks that I about 500 pixels on each of the data streams, when in fact there are only 200 pixels. (See screen shot). The incorrect pixel quantity is uploaded to the controller.

If I set up cascading, the pixel count is perfect and the outputs are uploaded perfectly to the controller, (see screen shot). Cascading is not ideal as I don't want to have the right matrix split between 2 smart remotes and the left matrix split between 2 remotes.

Is there something I'm missing, or is there something I should be doing to get xlights to accurately reflect my prop set up?

Thanks
