As others have said, do your sequencing in Vixen and then export and run your show off a pi using FPP. I have been doing this for years. Very simple process with the added bonus that you can continue to work on your sequencing right through the light season without affecting your show and you...

Yes Vixen will send E1.31 for the pixlight or other controller to act on.
But you also need to configure your controller so that it knows how to use that data as in which lights/channels are on such ports. I think Keith is hinting that xlights can send that configuration data as well which is...
