OK, let's try this one more time. xLights 2011e is now available for download from SourceForge:

Bug fixes since 2011d:

1) Vixen files that have channels defined in the sequence (i.e. have a non-empty <channels> section in the xml) as well as a link to a profile, will now always use the profile. This is consistent with the way Vixen processes this situation. This was fixed in both xConverter and xScheduler.

2) LOR sequences (LMS files) exported from LSP are now processed correctly by xConverter. This includes fixes to inappropriately setting the channels to full on, and also determining the correct length of the sequence.

Merry Christmas,

  Thanks for xlights, I have been using it to run my show with no problems at all. I have 5 LOR controllers, 2 Express, & 1 Rainbow Brain all running on one Lynx dongle & Lynx wireless.

      Again Thanks.

2011e working for me...  I am only using Vixen sequences...

Hi Matt,

I just tried "e" and it works GREAT!!!!

I didn't change the vixen files and now I get all of my channels.

Awesome job and the show started right away. Previously using vixen seqs it would take 15mins before it would play.

I am SO HAPPY, you are Awesome

Will put it to the test tonight.  the "d" version fixed my issues though esp. after converting 'em.

Thanks so much!

I'm having a bit of a problem outputting a converted file.  It was exported from LSP to LOR.  Then I ran a script to define my networks correctly - saved instances 0-2400 are network 0, saved instances 2400 - 4166 are network 1.

I have 2 pixelnet dongles defined.  There is something going on with both my DMX output from pixelnet dongle 1 and for some of the channels in dongle 2.  In particular, approximately 1/2 of my LOR units work with this configuration, but half don't work at all.  It's always the same ones.  I can play the sequence perfectly from LSP scheduler or sequencer without issue. 

The xlights test can control all lor units / channels.  It is JUST a problem isolated to these files...

Having problems. Smartstrings don't output colors correctly sometimes and if you try to delete a playlist the program crashes. The lms still are playing correctly. This is from LSP to LOR to new xlights format.

So let me just make sure I understand your setup. I have 2 pixelnet dongles, each connected to a smartstring hub? You have LOR controllers that are running in DMX mode off of one or both of those smartstring hubs? And you are playing the LMS files from xScheduler and not all LOR controllers are responding?

What are the unit ids of the LOR controllers that are not responding?

I've tried duplicating the "crash when deleting a playlist", but have been unsuccessful - works without issue for me. Could you see if it works under some conditions and not others?

Does the Krypton sequence you sent me exhibit the "smartstrings don't output colors correctly" issue? If so, which channels? at what point in the sequence?

Thanks,

Matt

Your assumptions on this are correct. Lor running in dmx off one smart string hub. I'll get working and non working controller numbers tomorrow for you. Thanks!!

Ran the show last night for 5 hours without a hitch....  Haven't noticed anything else while navigating through it....
