Capt_Bill_USMC Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 When I try to load a specific sequence, I am getting the attached error: Any help you can provide would be great! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Where did you get the sequence? Is it something you created in the past and are having problems loading it now? That error indicates something is structurally wrong with the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Bill_USMC Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 It was a shared sequence that I got from someone else. Thank you for the reply. Any idea how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Sounds like the sequence is damaged or corrupted. Try downloading again. May not be usable unless you are able to edit HTML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suggest that I contact LOR and see if they have a fix? Thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Unless it came from LOR they probably can't help. Your best bet is to try and find a share from someone else. Search the forums, or post a request in the shareing forum section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Minor quibble. It is XML I know this won't FIX what is broke, but you might spot a missing closing tag A programmers (text) editor makes reading it easier Notepad ++ is a great (and Free) Windows Text editor that handles many program languages (and simple text) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XML is Xlights, correct? The file was originally created in Xlights and converted to a .lms file. The rest of what you said means nothing to me. Is there a tutorial out there for this? Thanks for replying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 XML is a programming language and is what the sequences are written in. It is basically a script or list of instructions written by the Sequence editor. No connection to X lights which is another flavor of sequencing software. Although X lights may use XML too, not sure. Basically you have a broke sequence and probably will be quicker and easier to just find another one. There was a post on here just a few days ago that literally had hundreds of sequences for share.

k6ccc Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Capt., I just sent you my E-Mail address in a PM. If you want, send me the file and I will attempt to un-mangle the XML. I'm pretty good with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
