No Output From FPP-F16 (Solved)

[rdebolt]

My setup is going to be 3 F16v2s and 2 F16s with an FPP. My FPP ip is 192.168.0.145 and F16v2s are 196.168.0.146,147,148 respectively. My set up in xLights has all of my outputs to the V2s. Do I need to put the Pi in as an output? I cannot get any output from my F16v1s and the FPP shows no data out (While in Bridge mode) on any of the outputs when outputting lights through Xlights. All of the V2s will control lights. My Connections are all Cat5 directly from my router no daisy chain...... Sorry for all of the stupid questions that I should already know! 

Thanks,
Roger

The Pi doesn't need to be an output unless you have pixels attached to it you are trying to drive from xlights.

Your question is a bit confusing. If you are playing your show from fpp shouldn't it be in standalone mode?

Bridge mode is for when fpp is acting as a controller.

Thanks Keith.

In the past if you wanted xlights to output through the FPP it had to be in Bridge mode unless you were playing your show. I used to be able to look at it in bridge mode under the status page and see that the outputs were infact transfering data. Has that changed?

BTW I have no lights attached to my FPP it is strictly for my shows.

Thanks,
Roger

Are you mixing up bridge mode with network bridging. They are different things.

[rdebolt]

No Keith, I am not. I am completely network illeterate though. I am not sure if you have read my posts, but I took last year off and have not really even looked at the forums for amost 2 years now, so I am WAY behind. Forgive me please. In the past, let say before the Falcon V2 even came around, in order for you to "Test" your lights, you would put the FPP in Bridge mode so that Xlights could send the data to your controllers through the FPP. I could watch the univeses in bridge mode and watch the data count go up as the lights ran. In stand alone the FPP was in full control using the sequence data on your usb thumb drive.

I know I am way over complicating this and just missing (forgetting) something that I need. I seem to be really struggling with everything right now, so I applogize totally for my ignorance. I am not new at this. As a matter of fact I have what I consider to be a large display. Maybe early onset of alzheimer's. 

It may be the way that I have my network set up at home.....I am just lost at this point.

Why don't you pop into xlights zoom. There are folks online right now that could help

Btw this was fixed. A universe problem and some string output configuration issues.
