LOR channel conversion problem

[Lights On Fifth]

Brain fart got it, your channels look okay did you export that channel config to your Lor sequnces

The DMX sequences that I was working on for Halloween had a similar configuration.  They had an additional 3 universes for various RGB and pixel items.  Since I couldn't get it to work together, I wanted to start from beginning and see what was wrong from the beginning.  I want to start with the LOR stuff first and then add universe after universe, fixing the problems as I go, until everything is talking to each other fully.  So, for now, every sequence will have the posted configuration.

I understand what you are trying to do, xlights should convert an LMS file very easy, if it doesn't convert it then we have to check the LMS file and make sure every channel is addressed properly, if you are only using 48 channels in Lor then you should only have 48 channels in xlights for the set up, with out seeing your xlights set up and looking at the Lms file you are trying to convert, it makes it rather difficult to diagnose.

I can't find anything wrong with your LMS setup that should make xLights fail to convert them.

At this point, the only solution may be to "TeamViewer" onto your PC and look at your actual setup.
Have you ever used TeamViewer to watch Sean's demos?

David Pitts used Team viewer to look at my entire setup when I was trying to get my show to run under DMX for Halloween.  He couldn't find anything wrong then.  When I have the hardware and software guys looking at my setup and telling me it should work and it doesn't, then I get really confused.

You need a Fake LOR USB adapter configured when doing an LMS conversion.

Watch the video on how to do this.

That will work with non CCR sequences?

What type of network is the LOR file configured for?  LOR or DMX?

can you send me the LMS file  ocjeepguy at gmail dot com

I do not have, and have never had, an LOR USB adapter connected or configured when doing an LMS to XSEQ conversion.
I do not have any CCRs. My xLights setup is 100% E1.31.

E1.31, multicast with 4 universes.  I can't figure out how to delete the other three at the moment.

I don't have any LOR adapters either and I'm all E1.31.  However, in order to convert an LMS file that was configured with an LOR network, you do need to have an LOR adapter configured in NC to do the conversion. Se the video where it fails without the adapter, then works when the appropriate adapters, and networks are configured prior to the conversion.

When I tried the method suggested, I ended up with lots of error messages.  I swapped everything back.

I got your file via email, thanks.

Yes I do see that the source LMS file is configured for DMX and when you convert, it shows having 161 DMX channels, 48 with effects.   The converted file does play in Nutcracker and it does have 48 channels.

For fun, I did this:

1. Convert the Halloween LMS file to NC.  Got the 161 DMX Channels message.
2. Convert the newly created Halloween XML file to LOR as Halloween2.LMS
3. Convert the Halloween2.LMS file to NC.  The 161 DMX channel message is gone.

Does that now work on your lights?  I works on my E131 controller.

I might have to try that.  Nice to know that it's not the sequence and it may be a hardware thing.

Same here, and it works great
