Hopefully one of you can help. A little background first. 2nd year with FPP & Xlights, best thing i EVER DID! Reading thru this forum nightly for about 3 years now has helped greatly. Last year imported all my LOR sequences into a data layer and played everything on the FPP. Seamless. Last year I also created several original Xlights sequences; 2 with imported data layer from LOR with Xlights RGB effects on new models and 2 sequences with Xlights RGB effects only. Seamless.
This year I:
-was playing around with 2nd Pi with video so I change the show directory so not to mess it up.
-I did! I switched back to original show directory and created several small 15sec or less RGB effect only (no LOR data) but they do not control any lights when uploaded to FPP.
-I looked at the XML (I admit as an IT admin I'm not a programmer) and do not see anything significant different in the ones from last year(that work) and the one I tried to create last week.
-So I tried to use one of the RGB only sequences from last year- "Save as" a different name replace the audio file with the one I want for this year, modified it a bit so i could tell the difference and it ran the lights fine.
So can someone tell me which direction to go. I have triple checked the setup tab and all the models against my spreadsheet of channels. For the life of me a can not figure out why a new sequence to the original show directory will not control the lights when uploaded to the FPP.
Surely there is someone that can enlighten me with "the Force"
Merry Christmas All.
