Halloween - Gangnam Style video clip

[peteandvanessa]

Ok here is what I had to do to clear up the timing error when opening Gangnam Style. 
1. Open .lms file with notepad
2. Go to the bottom and look for the line that talks about track length <track totalCentiseconds="0">
3. Change "0" to "21900" (21900) is the length of the mp3 I had 3:39 seconds converted to centeseconds 219 seconds X   100 = 21900 centiseconds.
4. Now click save as and make sure you save it as all files instead of txt which is the default, and leave encoding at utf8
5. Name the file anything you want and add the .lms at the end.
6. Click save and open in LOR.

PM if you have any questions
Matt

Cheers Matt

All - I've uploaded the main singer sequences to the drop box in LOR format (take Matt's note above into account when trying to open the files in LOR)

I've saved the following sequences in LOR Format into the drop box as sthe main singer only:

1. Gangnam Style
2. Ghostbusters
3. You are a Pirate
4. Somebody's watching me
5. Wubbzy

The drop box is located here:

Saw you used the .msq files and converted them to .lms - is there a way that anyone knows how to import or convert either of these formats to Vixen (.vix)?

You can use xlights converter to go from Los to vix.

Thanks, I tried that and it seems to convert but in Vixen it opens and it looks like at blank sequence. And LOR2VIX gives errors even after fixing the timing setting to 21900...

I meant to ask you if you had any issues with your SSC's and flex strips?  Flickering, etc.   

Your vid seems to indicate everything was OK.  Thanks.

No problems with flickering at all. All has been running well since October 1st in the LSP 2.5 scheduler.

Thanks Pete.  Did you mod any of the SSC?

[peteandvanessa]

Thanks Pete.  Did you mod any of the SSC?

There's about 24 SSC's out in the yard right now, NONE have been modified. About 16 of them are Version 1 (no issues with them at all), and another 8 are Version 2 (no issues with them either). The distance of the wires from the SSC and the LED Flexstrips is about 12-18 inches max.

The longest CAT5 run from the Hub to the SSC is 100 feet, again, no issues whatsoever

Im having an issue making these usable as a Vixen file, I tried LOR2VIX and xLights and neither work. I adjusted the timing as said, but it seem to have other timing issues. On each channel in LOR2VIX the Channel Effect Waring comes up saying: (on the Gangham Style Singer Only seq - lms)

WARNING on Channel 'Top Eyes #1'.
It appears that either startCenti 21468 and/or endCenti=113379 are outside of the specified timing of 21900.
Ignoring the rest of the channel effects.

Press OK to continue processing.

And it get the same error for each channel. the fails the conversion with this:

null

And in xLights it completes but the Vixen file when opened is blank with no effects...

Any help would be great - Thank you.
