xLights not Uploading to FPP/F16v3
« on: November 25, 2019, 05:13:15 PM »
I setup some lights for Halloween and was able to work out all my issues. I've been working on my sequences, and finishing putting lights in my props.

Now when i go to test, nothing worked. When I check FPP/F16v3, there aren't any universes set. I've followed the same process that i did during Halloween. I've upgraded to latest xlights 2019.66, FPP v3.5.3, and F16v3 is v2.01.

What am I missing...

You have a proxy set in the config for the controller in xLights (which is fine).   Did you add the proxy to the FPP instance on the Proxies page there?   If the proxy is set in xLights, it assumes it has to tunnel the data through FPP, but if FPP doesn't know it has to do the tunneling, it will reject it.

I've never seen the proxy entered by name, only number.  Might want to change that and see if it works.  May work by name, but I have never seen anyone try that before.

Setting UDP to all, didn't change anything.

Should I downgrade to an older xLights maybe 62?

I checked the logs this morning. I went through all the steps to update FPP and F16v3, no errors or anything. (Items from Monday but i was trying everything.)

Could there be an issue with Controller?

Well, it is working now. I decided to try and test a "start over" and started from scratch. Each change uploaded with no problems. Then I loaded my Christmas Sequences. It works. Just a few bugs with some light not working. (Skips an entire candy cane!)

Let's chalk it up to a corrupted up load and had to start from scratch.

Thanks for the assistance.
