Mac 2021.11 Output to lights
« on: April 12, 2021, 10:19:25 PM »
Turning on Output to Lights now takes over 60 seconds on my Mac Pro.  This used just take a couple seconds.  Anyone else have this issue?

Do you have auto upload to controllers set. I have seen this slow things down before (but not by that much). I would also be looking in the logs to see if any errors are being reported when you turn on the lights.

I do have "Auto Upload to Controllers" set on the one controller that gives me that option (a Pi4) but, I think the problem is coming from a PixCon16.  When the PixCon16 is connected, Output to lights takes over a minute to turn on.  If I disconnect the PixCon16, Output to lights is immediate.

On a side note, I've noticed that I cannot Upload Output to the PixCon16.  It works correctly if I manually set it up, just can't use the Upload feature.  Does anyone know if that should work?  Possibly just an issue with my PixCon.  I tried the most recent firmware but that didn't change anything.

I'm seeing a similar issue so adding to this thread (I'm on version 2021.14.1)...

I'm using FPP as a proxy to connect to my controllers with xlights.  I am able to upload to the controller (F48) but I get no lights when turning on the output to lights.  I can run lights from the controller and/or FPP directly with no problems.  Also, here is an error in the logs (below) that occurs after I turn on the output to lights.  Any ideas?
