HE123 MKII xlights and fpp version 7 - Channel outputs not reflected prop names and start and channels

[Skymaster]

Closing this one out for those playing from home - the issue seems to be caused by having the UI Password on FPP enabled.
There were a bunch of errors in the logs about incorrect credentials, despite xLights not prompting for it on an upload output. Testing via FPP Connect (which does prompt for password) - brought up 5 password dialogs, and still didn't work.

Disabling the UI password enabled the outputs to be uploaded successfully.

@AAH - have you ever seen this happen before?

I personally know very little about any of the Xlights and FPP integration. It looks like Skymaster has worked out what the issue is.
