FPP Connect updating Pixel Overlay Models but not Input Channels

[dm9991966]

When I run the FPP Connect to update the Raspberry Pi, I don't see anything defined on the Input Channels, but I see entries for all my models in the Pixel Overlay Models page.  The videos I've seen show that I should be getting Input Channels.  I'm sure it's something I've configured incorrectly, but I can't figure out what it is.  Any thoughts?

Checkmark UDP out..

Thanks.  I tried setting the 'UDP Output' settings to 'All' and there was no change after the update.  So, I updated the network entries to add the FPP's IP address as 'FPP Proxy', then set the 'UDP Output' to 'Proxied', and still no change after the update.  So, switched teh 'UDP Output' to All, and again no change after the update.  Input Channels is empty, Pixel Overlay Models has entries for every model in the layout.

Now, I have not put the actual F48 on the network and updated that.  Is updating the actual controllers a prerequisite to running the FPP Connect?

Why do you need INPUT channels on the FPP instance?  It's rare that you would need that and the FPP connect dialog would definitely not upload it.

Yeah, I think I figured out that I haven't got it all figured out!! 

When all is said and done, my controllers will be on a separate network from my home network.  The FPP eth0 will be on the controller network, and the wlan0 will be on my home network. 

I've apparently been watching too many videos too late at night.  I was thinking in order to control the pixels from my computer for testing, I should see entries on the Input tab & Output tab, thinking the FPP would listen on the Input and route the data to the Output.

A light finally clicked on and I realized that Input was only for pixels directly attached to the FPP, like with an BBB/Octoscroller.

Thanks for everyone's patience with my bumbling beginnings.
