Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a setting in Xlights (or FPP?) to make the virtual matrix video output appear as round LED pixels instead of large square "blocks" on the screen? I'd like to have a TV monitor act and look like a matrix of round LEDs on the screen, maybe this could be an...

Well yeh, the indoor mounting is even easier, but i don't have a big front-facing window handy, so i'd have to mount it outside in a case.

Hi All, Just wondering what are the pro's & cons between Large TV Monitor(s) - Versus P10 panel props?? For me, P10 panels, controllers and power supplies galore seems like a lot of hassle, when a 50inch to 80inch TV can do it easier. I wonder why so many people use P10/P5 panels? are they...

Matrix displays should probably be split into 2 tabs, 1 tab for pixel matrices and the 2nd tab for p5/p10 panel matrices. just a thought.

You can add far more items in pulldown boxes or opening a folder full of options.

ok, repeating my first post: "I've closed Xlights completely, and running FPP, i can't even run the Test Lights option (like i used to). I've stopped/started the FPPD and rebooted & shutdown the FPP-BBB player and now power cycled the FPP-BBB and i still can't even test lights."

Hi, i'm using 1x FPP-BBB unit and the above IP's have been like this for the past few months as a WORKING system.

Additionally, i discovered today that the FPP "health check" can't ping my gateway (local PC), it fails for some reason, but i can open the windows command box and ping my gateway 192.168.0.1 and my FPP 192.168.0.2 and both devices returns correct ping results, so i don't know why FPP can't ping...

Hi all, I've been playing with Xlights/FPP for a month, and everyday it all worked well as i learned more about each effect & feature. Today, after assigning a new matrix, the whole thing refused to light any of my test props. (2 props were working this morning while i was in the middle of...

Thanks for this, pretty much everything i was already doing, but for me "upload outputs" was a BIG missing step for my changes etc.

Thanks Al, The upload outputs option certainly updates things for me now, especially my model brightness levels which never worked before.

Hi All, I'm fairly new to Xlights, only been using it for around 2 months playing with small props and pixel strips on my workbench etc. While i totally understand ports,strings,strands etc, i feel that i'm not always adding/changing props in the correct work flow. Sometimes things work...

To help prove things, you could swap the physical (bad) arch into the position of any of the good arches, and see if the fault moves with the arch (faulty pixels) or if the fault stays with the particular arch position in the layout, then it'll show that something in the layout configs isn't...

I just cut my thumbs off, no more blisters, problem solved! 😄😄
