I updated to the latest version of Xlights (Mac 2020.06).  I have four SANDEVICE E682 controllers (16 channels each) but when I download/launch 2020.06 (or 2020.05), only one controller is presented on the Setup page.  The layout page looks normal.  If I revert back to 2020.04, life is good and all controllers/channels are displayed.

My system: 
iMac 3.7 GHz 6-Core Intel Cor i5
macOS Catalina version 10.15.3

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Can you package up your files in the older version and we can look at them.

Please check though if you had multiple lines for the same controller and they have been merged then this is expected behaviour.

If you still need me to send the config files, I can do that it you still need following this note.  You are correct, all the lines were merged.  The correct number of universes are there, and the channels are correct (24480). I actually have four Sandevice controllers (E682s), but does that even matter?  Everything else seems to be correct.

Since I had the xlights files (2020.04) ready to go, here they are.

So if all the channels are correct I don?t understand what the problem is?

Sorry Keith, I was unaware of the item roll-up when I first launched 2020.06; so I guess I reacted a little too fast.  I was just initially concerned since I identified four controllers in may setup description (Controller1, Controller2 etc), but the new menu just shows one line identified Controller1.  But since everything looks like it is there, I guess we will just wait till next year when I pull the lights out of my rafters and give it a go.

As long as you experts tell me I have nothing to worry about, that's good enough for me.

thanks.

If each controller was using an IP address instead of multicast you probably would have gotten 4 lines.

I love the new setup in .06  I'm using 12 Sandevice controllers.  I only wish that E680 was a pull down option! no big deal! Hope FPP does the same!

BTW: Gil is correct...change the ip addresses on the controllers and you will get the four controllers back.  You might want to use unicast also since that will give you additional universes (if you need them).

Thanks to all.  I think my age is showing again, reacting before thinking to "new things" when in fact they are a better and/or will make my life easier.
