Like Iain, my house is mostly hidden by a bush so i had moved everything to the fence line and i was so much happier with the result. 2024 will be about filling out the space with a few more props. Considering a matrix on the fence, will see how the wallet goes this year. Currently doing a lot...

SOLVED - thanks to BAZMick. Those 2 Model Groups had ended up being set as Unassigned under Preview. And that drop down box on the RHS for selecting Preview disappears if the Models window is to large. Took me a bit to figure that out.

Hi all, as the season is over i am playing around in xLights 2023.22 on Windows. I currently have a situation where 2 Model Groups have disappeared from my layout but there are still models as part of that group. I can’t rename a new one to the same name or remove these models from that Model...

Happy with how my layout turned out this year, all my ideas have worked. I brought my whole viewing area forward to the fence line and it’s so much better. 3rd year, everything is new except for the 6 stars and one talking tree. I also made it my mission to not use zip ties (or very few) and i...

Got it working. Found it in the manual under Models for anyone looking for same info.

Is there a way in FPP to run a background sequence on my tune to sign while a sequence is running on everything else?

Also to add, i learnt that you can connect via the tethered wifi from FPP (named FPP, pword Christmas) and then open fpp.local in your browser to access FPP.

I will look into it a bit further now that i have it connected again.

Got it working. The problem was for some reason the eth0 ip address was set to 192.168.1.1 (correct) but the gateway was set to 192.168.1.1 as well. Changed it to 192.168.0.1 (my router) and setup wlan0 with a static address and it all worked. Not actually sure if i had DHCP setup before as its...

I thought it was dhcp (it has been the same setup for the past 2 years). I can put in the known ip address under static and it gives me the netmask and gateway.

Hi guys I’ve had some network problems at home that i’ve had to factory reset my asus router. Resetting everything i have ended up renaming the networks and changing passwords. I am now stuck trying to fix my fpp v6.3 on rpi3b+ to change the wifi connection. I am usually pretty good but im...

That did it!! Thank you so much. Always that one step that will make the difference

Playing around with it this afternoon after reading your reply, and have done some testing. Included some screenshots. Here is my outline submodel group, labelled "test" (outlines of both matrix either side of tree/stars). Here is a group that i included only the right-side matrix, labelled...

I am playing around with an updated layout for this year and am currently fiddling with a few matrixes. I have submodelled an outline on them. If i put an effect on the matrix model itself, and an effect on the outline submodel it works as i expect ie. the outline renders over the top of the...
