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 these in test mode all night...
HELP ASAP!

From the scheduler have you turned the output to lights on. Top right press the light bulb.Keither said:

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 Nightmare Before Christmas) six weeks out. I learned Lightshow Pro, then scrapped that and learned xLights, spent countless hours learning about all of this and sequencing a show along the way.
All of my pixels worked except one strip which was on a stand alone piece and was omitted from the display with no issues. It's not a permanent install, and a lot of what I needed to build on arrived at the show. I pulled an all nighter splicing and zip tying until my fingers went raw. I got the display running except this one little button. I was literally inside my center pixel tree behind the DJ for the first set and a half trying to find an answer on a forum, or watch a video while a rave was happening around me when I sent out this hail Mary and you definitely nailed it for me.
You helped turn the show from three expensive blinking trees into a work of art with beautiful visuals which the crowd loved.
Now to modify the build into one tree for my front yard (hello neighbors lol)
thanks again

Yes it's a funny little lightbulb. Mine floods my outgoing internet connection, even when the scheduler is idle, leading to lots of complaints from the household. Ended up blocking xlights on the server's firewall, now everyone is happy.

Oh thought it was just me. If the works let me know and raise a ticket to the xlights development team.
