CardsFan Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Over the summer I upgraded to version 4.4.4 Pro. I added a pixel tree for my Christmas show, but made no changes to last years Halloween show - all LEDs and no pixels for Halloween. I planned on starting the Halloween show tomorrow night. I finished setting up everything today. I ran HU and all controllers were found and all lights work. Now that it is dark I wanted to run the show once just to be sure everything would be good for tomorrow. I tried to run the Show on Demand. The music plays, but none of the lights are working. I restarted the computer, because sometimes that works for other issues, but it did not help. I scanned existing posts and did not find one that was similar to my situation. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Is the comm listener open? HU shut down? Control lights- On? One if those may help you out. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsFan Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 I appreciate your willingness to help. After I created my post I went and read from other topics and found one talking about network speed. I remembered when I was setting up my pixel tree that I changed my network speed. I am guessing my network speed last year was 57.6K and the Enhanced box was not checked. During the install of my pixel tree I changed to 500K with the Enhanced box checked and that is where I started tonight. After reading that other post, I went back to 57.6K with Enhanced not checked. Currently connected I have 2 units that are CTB16D v4.32 and 1 unit that is 32LD-G3 ver 1.05. As it turns out, these are my oldest and newest units. My new question is, can I run a pixel tree with network speed of 57.6K and the Enhanced box not checked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new question is, can I run a pixel tree with network speed of 57.6K and the Enhanced box not checked? I run my older CTB16PC Controllers {Firmware ver. 4.32} at 115K, Regular, Non-Enhanced with no issues, I have also run my 2 RGB LOR Singing Christmas Trees on that same network when testing when I thought my RED H.S. Adapter had died {it didn't, the cable that connects it went bad} and this off an older black USB485B adapter. Only issue this causes with the RGB Controllers {and these are both Pixie2 controllers} is usually some serious lag times, so if running a show from a computer you definitely need the Red H.S. adapter. I won't be using any adapters or computer to run my show, I purchased a G4 MP3 Director with 4 Networks, so that's what will be controlling my 2 older CTB16PC AC Controllers, 5 older CCB100-D 5V RGB Controllers and the 2 new LOR Singing RGB Christmas Trees on 3 of the 4 Networks. Also, you may want to consider upgrading to 4.4.6 as there was some kind of issue or bug in 4.4.4, I'm not sure what it was, but it affected something, I keep thinking it may have been an issue when creating shows in the Hub, but, again, I'm not exactly sure what the issue was. That's why I upgraded from 4.4.4 to 4.4.6, which is the last S4 release version that corrected some issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
