What version of xlights are you using? The best way to check is to use an older version to see if it works in that. Maybe go back to xlight 2025.7 and est. You should be able to download all the older versions from xlights.org.

If you run FPP, it has this type of audio feature built in. I think you can find it in the audio section for files and it might need a command to run and process everything. This reminds me I need to do it also. :)

That's a great start! It's an amazing feeling to see the lights up and going for the first time. Keep at it!

Not everything of mine is out and working but I'm turning my lights on starting tonight and will just add more very day until it is done. It is a bit more rendering for sequences but it will get there! Plus it keeps people interested in what is happening every day.

When I started with under 2,000 pixels I always bought the pro or advanced version of a sequence with the thoughts of adding more pixels over time. This prevents the need of rebuying a sequence after your show has grown. I've grown from a basic layout over the years to more advanced and still...

There are a bunch of different videos on Youtube about mapping sequences. here is just one of them. This will help you understand more about the process. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FGinMbxKYs

Try repairing or updating the VC++ redistributable packages. It's possible some of those were corrupted and reinstalling xLights will not fix those. It only looks to see if it is there and if not install them.

It's not a general 2025.12.1 version since I am also running the same version and have access to everything. It's something specific to your situation. Pop into the zoom room as you can screen share there and they can help sort it out quicker and easier than trying to do it in the forums.

On initial review you fpp is looking form the font for your connections and the 0,0 starting is the upper left, not upper right. If yo turn on the test pattern from the panel screen what does it look like? Is it possible to get pictures of the physical back of the matrix, and also images of how...

Let's break this down a bit more. 1. Props (Things that light) - These are 90% coroflute with holes that you push pixels into. You will need to do this unless you get pre-pushed props but anyone can push a pixel into a hole. It just takes time and effort. 2. Controllers - You were not...

There are other available package shows out there that are based upon xLights. You can check Magical Light Show as an example. It's not something I need as I already assembled my show. https://magicallightshows.com/ What exactly did you find stressful about trying to put together a show? Dean

Undone how? I'm not exactly gentle and have been known to hold a few of my lighter boxes by the glands and have only had issues with a couple of them. How are you tightening them up? I find my hand strength might not be enough sometimes and used wrench which seemed to get them just right. I'm...

Those are the generic knock-offs of Scotch Loks.

Look closely at how the panels are laid out and they arrow changes and make sure the arrows in fpp match the way the arrows on the physical panels go. AHH inverted the arrows to the panels, it looks like the top point down and the 2nd row point and it keeps to that pattern.

Did you try to reseat the BBB? Maybe swap it out if you have a spare to see if it resolves the issue? It could have been surface corrosion formed while in storage.
