Update - I used orange and little blue wire nuts for all of my connections for the show. It worked out beautifully, but it is not a permanent solution. I only had 6 weeks from conception to the event, so time was of the essence, and I had a lot of learning to do along the way, going with...

Dude, you saved the show! This show build was the death of me for the past six weeks. I literally finished the build at the show, and I never got to see if everything worked before tonight. Everything was so last minute, I decided to incorporate three mega pixel trees into a rave party (The...

I'm at a show and I totally clark griswalded it. I can get Xlights to test my pixels in test mode using xlights 2012b, but I cant get any sequences to work at all. I've tried directly from the playlist and in a schedule. I am using an alphapix 16. What could I be missing? I might have to run...

Other than the time it takes to render the files, is there a maximum length of my animations (no music) before I see a negative impact on the Falcon Pi Player output? It's only around a 4500 channel setup.

Hey thanks! After this fix I now find myself needing to render all at random points. Sometimes the effect doesn't generate on the preview, or it's wonky colored. Sometimes I lose half of the sequencing, and I know it's there so I render all and there it is. I'm way over on the specs required to...

I'm talking about water proof wire nuts. They make them with a rubber gasket and silicone inside. They are meant to be outdoors, underground, etc.

Thanks for the insight. As for needing more lights, yeah lol but we agreed on a $500 Xmas light budget. When I decided to go 100% smart pixels, I accidentally tripled the budget. It is a project I am going to add to and use for multiple installs, so eventually ;) As for data loss, I don't...

Update, must have been the first render, it now renders a lot more info in seconds!

Alright, came back after a 30 minute break and it was finishing up, I hope future renders are faster maybe. So never mind lol.

I have also tried crashing out the program and starting from scratch, but the new sequence won't render either.

Maybe I'm doing something stupid, but I can't get xLights to render a sequence and save. It's only around 5000 channels. Every time I try to render the sequence and save, it looks like it is starting, and the main rendering status bar never moves past a tiny bit of green. None of the models on...

This year it's going to be a basic xLights animation, or 400 3 minute animations. Would Madrix and Glediator have similar sequencing options for pixel light layouts? I was looking into them, but they cost over $1000 for the version I would need and I already blew the budget on lights lol.

Not an effect, but functionality. First off, is there already a way to do this I am not aware of? If not, I would love a way to be able to trigger different animations with a lighting controller. I will be setting up my pixels predominantly at large scale rave parties, and as cool as the...

Hey there! I am a complete sequencing newb, although I do have a background as a DJ and a good understanding of stage design and show lighting. This forum has been a godsend of information for me and I thank everyone involved. I am writing a pixel light show for the main stage at The Nightmare...

Hey there! I am just getting started with xLights, and I am having a small problem. I have watched mostly all of the tutorials I can find and still I can't figure out my issues. First, I am getting a bleed from some models onto other models in the preview. I have checked to see if the channels...
