error message on mac: another process....
« on: January 19, 2018, 05:45:30 AM »
hello
I get the message: another process seems to be outputting to lights right now, this may not generate the result expected.

version 2017-45, osx 10.10.5, I looked into my sandevices 6804, and no packets receiving. selftest on this controller from the built in webpage works ok, shut down the selftest ofcourse after looking into the controller.

Who knows what to do

xLights and xScheduler can both output to lights so there is a flag set in the registry to attempt to detect if you are outputting from both in an attempt to help the user figure out why something isn't working.  Sometimes the flag can get left in the wrong state and that's why the wording of the message is non-definitive.  Technically the message has no effect on anything its just a warning.
