I am a Vixen user trying to convert to Xlights. I'll post below the pics of my setup. I have 2 pi players loaded with FPP 5.2 , 1 in Player mode and the other in Remote mode. I am using the pixel strings on the both PI players. When I use the test mode I can get the lights to work. When I try to run a sequence that I built in Xlights, I cannot get them to work on the remote PI. I cant figure out what settings I have wrong. I've been in the forums, FPP manual, xlights manual and cant seem to find the issue.

hmm maybe a multisync thing..... When I go into the Multi sync tab while playing a sequence I see the Player Pi with a status of playing the sequence but the remote is saying Idle. If I go into test mode in the Remote PI and activate the sequence then I see it on both in the Multisync page.
