HLS files don't convert
« on: September 06, 2014, 05:24:25 PM »
I am using xlights 3.4.12 and want to convert my hls to xlights. It looks like xlights is looking for *.hlsIdata

I looked and I don't have this file in any of my sequences. Is there a process I need to do first in HLS? I have .hls files but I dont' have hlsdata files.

Yes, you have to set up the channels under output.  Once you set your channels up, you can go to the output configuration screen and export the hlsdata file.  It will export to your HLS/exportdata folder.  You use that to convert in xl

If you get stuck. . Let me know.   I can show you how

Jedi--do you mean "setup channels for output" in HLS?  I did that for one of my sequences but HLS did not create an hlsdata file..  So I think I need to do something else.
thx.

When you press Output> Select Output Method and Compile for show... after you press Export Illumination Data that is the file Xlights is looking for to convert
