FPP not playing sequence exported from LOR
« on: October 06, 2015, 08:33:24 AM »
Hello Everyone,

I have been banging my head against a wall for several days trying to figure this out but can't seem to succeed.  Please help if you can.

I have been running a small landscape lighting sequence that I created in LOR as an animation sequence that runs a few WS2811 pixels on fence posts with no problems since this past February.  To do that I used xLights to convert the .las file to an .fseq file that runs on a Raspberry pi B+ using FPP 1.0.

Now I have created a Halloween sequence that I want to run and it expands on the number of universes.  I created the animation sequence in LOR and used xLights to convert the .las file to the .fseq file.  I loaded it into the Raspberry pi but the pi won't play it out correctly.  Basically, it won't turn on lights that are on universe 7 in my sequence.  When I play the sequence through LOR, it plays fine.  I'm stumped.

The purple ball lights are connected to universe 7............that's where the problem is.

Here is a link to some screen shots to show how things are configured and what the results are.  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4tplxhcqxtfc5o8/AAAcHhQDKS-Fxp3U2aIEAxQja?dl=0

It was mentioned to me by Chris Pinkham on the Falcon Christmas Forum that after he analyzed the .fseq file, there appears to be no data for universe 7.  He thinks it might be a conversion problem and I have to agree.  I just don't know if the problem is with the LOR .las sequence itself or something in the xLights conversion setup.

I am open to suggestions and will appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks........Burt

are you sure you have all the universes set up properly in XLights? i am guessing if you don't have the universe set up it may not export the data even if it is in the LOR sequence?

Use the (new) Verbose option in the convert process - which will list the mapping between LOR and xlights to see if you can spot an issue ?
