DMX Moving Head Issues - Help!

[Park Falls Lights]

Hi, I have added a moving head to my light display this year as a trial, just the one. When I output to lights in xlights and run a sequence everything including the moving head performs as expected. When I run through xschedule the moving head does all sorts of weird stuff. Strobing, wrong colours, some wrong movement. I would say it acts like the sequence needs to be rendered - but I have done that multiple times.

Any suggestions? It has me stumped why it works fine when run straight from xlights, but not xschedule. Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue of any kind.

Everything else in the display is performing as it should, and this happens with the moving head on all the songs in my show.

Any suggestions appreciated. I feel it's probably something simple I am overlooking.

Not sure this is applicable, but I had a heck of a time with my moving heads that I added this year. I ended up needing to bulk edit and remap channels in the sequencer. But I don’t use x schedule, I’m on a Mac, so I just do FPP. But that’s my 2 cents.

Im stuffed if I know why, but after several days of this issue, I closed and reopened xschedule and everything is happy. Don't think I have solved the issue, given I have rebooted etc many times without impact, but for tonight anyway we are running! Will see what happens tomorrow night.
