Xlights crashes during conversion to Vixen

[scuba]

A .xseq file converted to .vix has been causing xlights to crash.  I tried several files that I ran last year and a few new sequences; all result in Xlights crashing ("Xlights has stopped working").

The Conversion messages stop at "writing Vixen sequence "

A related topic about converting v2.1 to V3.0...

For some reason Xlights doesn't always complete the export process....

Check out the post on http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/showthread.php?33284-Importing-Vixen-2-0-into-V3-0.  This includes a dropbox link to two files, both exported by xlights...Short file works and the larger file will not be read by Vixen V2 or 3.  The reason is the the sequence data appears not to follow the mapping section of the file structure in the longer file.  When data is pasted into that file it works.

These large files appear to cause  Xlights to crash.

I have a similar issue.

I have a 2 channel sequence (talking skulls driven off a servo). Testing in Vixen with my Lynx dongle works nifty as it's channels 1 and 2. When I then want to take this to my FPP device I try to convert into either a xlights sequence or a Pi sequence, both times I crash.

I can convert the file fine if I leave the number of channels I created alone in the profile file from 0-15, but what I really want to do is use a higher universe where the servo will be in the field and so I thought I could be clever and change my output number to a higher number. See my profile file I created below.

Also attached is how far xlights gets in the conversion for me.

thoughts?

Got around my problem....flattened sequence - went to HLS, imported it, then saved as HLS export file. Went and edited the import file and then added a few lines up to uni 48 and was able to convert with xlights simply.

<NumberOfUniverses>49</NumberOfUniverses>
<TotalUniverses>
<Universe><UniverseNumber>1</UniverseNumber></Universe>
<Universe><UniverseNumber>2</UniverseNumber></Universe>
<Universe><UniverseNumber>3</UniverseNumber></Universe>
<Universe><UniverseNumber>4</UniverseNumber></Universe>


Now onto my next problem to sort out with my sync issue.
