Effects won't play from FPP
« on: December 15, 2020, 11:37:28 PM »
I installed 4 light bulbs that are flashed with custom E131 firmware.  I have each bulb as a single pixel model in xLights and each bulbs IP address is listed as a controller on its own universe with 4 channels.  If I put FPP in bridge mode and test from xLights the bulbs are fine and do what they are supposed to in test mode.  If I load a playlist in xSchedule, the bulbs play perfectly with the sequence.  However, when I play the same sequences or go into test mode from FPP, the bulbs do not do anything.  I have checked and rechecked everything but I can not figure out why the lights wont do anything from FPP but work perfectly from xLights.  I know I have to be missing something but I am at a loss.  Can anyone offer any insight or things I can do to troubleshoot the issue?  Here are some screenshots of my setup.

Maybe turn off monitor. Otherwise it is most likely a start channel issue but I hate troubleshooting that in pictures. Maybe pop into zoom for another set of eyes.

Trying to get into Zoom room but it keeps asking me for the meeting password.  I can't find any reference to a password to the zoom room.

easiest to goto xlights.org and hit the zoom button ... (no need for password as it is inside that link)
