Hi
I am having some problems with my display this year as I have upgraded several controllers and one FPP running a vrtual matrix, which does not diplay sequences correctly.
I have attatched some screenshots of my settings for info

Also what are the correct x lights settings for these controllers I.E Active or x lights only?

I also notice that the default fseq file setting is V2 ZSTD so should I select this when doing a FPP connect ? or the V2 Saparsed uncompressed as shown in the screenshots?

I would be very greatful if someone would be kind enough to take a look as my research from web material is very conflicting (which I suppose is understandable due to the age of some of the material out there)

So there is a high-level question to ask first: for the Pi with the projector, are you expecting the data to come from the player (over DDP) during playback, or are you expecting this to have an SD card in it that stores the videos to play in sync with the sequence. The answer there changes the follow-on settings quite a bit. (I do the former so I have my matrix driver as "Active" in xLights and there's no need for FPP connect to send anything.)
