Hi All

I seem to have hit a hurdle, I had my Controller working before when I had it connected to the network, but am struggling running shows through the Pi ethernet out.

Here is what I have configured

  • Gateway (eero6) Local IP 10.0.0.1

FPP on RaspberryPi 4 - Connected to Gateway over Wifi
  • Wifi IP 10.0.0.100
  • Ethernet Ip 10.0.9.100

Genius Pixel 16 Controller - Connected to RaspberryPi with ethernet
  • IP 10.0.9.85

Proxy Configured on FPP to access Genius over the network.

xLights on my MacBook can see the controller and I can upload output configuration to it.

With all this configured, I can't make my lights light up with either running a show from FPP or using Output to lights on xLights. Where am I going wrong?

I have tested using the test mode on the controller and my lights do light up.

This is year 1 for me so Im still awaiting by bulk order of lights, I just have one string connected to port 1 on the controller for testing for now

Thanks in advance everyone,
Looking forward to receiving your help

Given you have a proxy set up and working, the trick here is to ensure that the DDP input is enabled on FPP.
Goto Channel Inputs -> E1.31/DDP/etc page and make sure the enable box is ticked. You don't need to have any other configuration for DDP to work.

Unfortunately I dont have an FPP accessible to get the exact screenshots for you.
