Xlights set up with LOR and LSP?

[rdebolt]

Nope same error. I do get a pop up when the error occurs asking to close program or look for a solution online.

What is the XML file replacing? Can I just use Notepad++ to rename what needs to be renamed?

[Mickpat]

Well I'm getting closer. The setnet file worked after I fixed "MY" network errors. Now I get this error when I run the XML search and replace script.

When you downloaded XMLSearchandreplace, did you extract all 3 files to the same location?  There should be three files.  It looks like one of the libraries cannot be found. Maybe my step 6 should have said to copy all 3 xmlsearchandreplace files to the convert directory.

Yes, you can hand edit the file and update all of the unit numbers.

Thanks Guys!

Frank this is an LMS file and I thought that your process only did MSQ or LSP files. These are old files of Santa talking and I have several. If I import into LSP the timings are so far off that they are not even workable. To tell you how frustrated I got I purchased S3 just so I could use these files. If all else fails I was going to drive my show with LOR this year. Too tired of fighting another program! I would like to be able to take my wife out to dinner or leave the house for a little bit in December, but that's another story all together.

If you have LMS files that were created from LOR, I don't think you need to go through this script process.  You may need to adjust the network settings in S3 and/or xLights to get them to work properly.

That fixed it!

I was able to covert the file that I am testing and still no lights. I did not convert to Xlights, but tried to play in Xlights and nothing. Lights do play in LOR. Any Suggestions?

Note: I can control the same channels in Xlights "test".

Hey Roger,

It will depend on your channel configuration in LOR.  You need to  make sure it maps properly through the xLights conversion.   How are your channels configured in LOR?

Frank

My Channels are configured for DMX universe 1 channel 100-104 for the 1 sequence that I am testing with. My Network in LOR is set up for E131. It is such a simple sequence I cannot believe that I am having so much trouble.

[frankr]

When you run through the xLights conversion what messages do you get? It may not see any channels if the network value in the LOR file is mapping to a network you do not have configured.

What network are the channels assigned to in LOR?  If it is not "Regular" then this could be the source of the problem.

I am not sure what network in LOR. They play in the LOR program. Does that matter? It has been a few years since I have worked with LOR so I am a little rusty there.

[rdebolt]

BTW I did not do an Xlights conversion this weekend. Was just tryinh to play the converted lms file as LOR in Xlights.

I also noticed that the "Network" in the conversion is "Network=0" is that correct?

[frankr]

Hi Roger,

Can you post the lms file here so I can take a look at it?

Thank You,

Frank

[rdebolt]

Frank
 Here you go.

[frankr]

Hi Roger,

Go into LOR and set the universe in each channel to 1.  This should solve your problem.

Frank

[rdebolt]

Frank they already are. The file I sent you is one that I have converted from Mickpat's scripts. If you want I can post an original one tonight.
