Thanks for the instructions. Very helpful and your work on this software is much appreciated. Not sure if this is where I post this, but is there some information somewhere which tells me more about configuring the network in Xlights. I posted this on another US site but have not received any response so I am stuck at the moment.

This is my firt look at Xlights and was wondering if anyone can help me with setting up the networks so I can convert my LOR files.

I currently have 3 LOR networks

REGULAR COM9 - this has 8 cosmic color ribbons
AUXA COM7 - this has another 8 CCRs
AUXB COM8 - this has 9 x 16 channel controllers

When I convert the LMS file I get a whole bunch of error messages that the CCRs are either unmapped or mapped to duplicate channels.

Can somone point me in the right direction or tell me whjere I can get some more detail on setting this up?

many thanks

Matt uses Lynx equipment and does not read the other 7 forums as much. Since nutcracker works on all the sequencers, i post on more forums. When Matt makes a HLS and LSP output , he has LOR and Vixen now, I expect he may need to also watch the other forums.
