I'm not sure if I'm not quite understanding everything here, but please correct me if I am wrong.
An output plug in could be used to write the conductor sequence file. all the plugin needs to do is read the physical buffer every 50 ms and save all channels. No real processing is needed. Just read and save. Anyone familiar with the "dumb test controller" could probably modify it in one evening to write the output to a file in the conductor format (which is simple).
I am restricted by a learning curve, but I am still determined to try a stab at it.

"all the plugin needs to do is read the physical buffer every 50 ms and save all channels. ". It must be harder than that.
well, i requested a file from vixen 3 about 5 months ago. the developers made comments like that would be hard with their current architecture. I believe there are no plans to make any sort of output file this year.
I have stated this before, if you use Vixen 3 you will not be able to use xlights, conductor, pi player this year. The only file vixen 3 has is a high level xml file. this high level file has to be interprested by the vixen 3 code t make it work.
we on the xlights/nutcracker will never be able to make a conversion for their high level file.
We can process lsp,lor,vixen 2.1, vixen 2.5, vixen+,hls.
we cannot process vixen 3.
They did say they would get an output file sometime next year. When they make it, we will add a converter into the CONVERT tab.
i wish someone could figure out how to get a output file.
sorry
