Hi All,

I have a weird issue where I'm test running sequences in xlights and outputting to my lights and everything is fine with correct colour order (RBG) . However, when I run sequence through FPP the channels are swapped BGR?! I have the lights setup in xlights as RGB nodes and on the F16 also order is RBG. Any ideas what could be going on?

Thanks,
Matt.

The other weird part is if I test the channels through the F16 they are correct colours. So maybe something wrong in FPP for it to swap them somehow?

If everything is correct when outputting to lights via xlights, another test is using da_e.131.
But it does sound like the issue lies in FPP somehow.

Thanks @djgra79. Thinking at this stage the only way around it is to change it in the controller. It works that way but don't think I should have to do that.

I had the same kind of issue, one of my strings of icicles was just weird colours and I couldn't figure it out until I looked at the controller and saw that I had the start channel of the string of icicles set to the same channel as the end of the last string made everything very weird.

A little off topic, but you realise you are using the "Vixen" logo as your profile pic yet you are using Xlights.
I went to jump in to help, then realised I probably know nothing about your problem :confused:

Lol. @scamper, sorry I can see how that would be confusing! I'm actually using and testing on both. Just working in xlights at the moment.
