GaryMartin2 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 To preface this, this entire setup was working perfect for Halloween. I use Pixabulbs on my house eves, 4 strings of 115 pixels. Starting today, the last 45 pixels on only one string have stopped responding to sequences from LOR. Running the test patterns on the pixel controllers, all pixels work 100% So what could cause the last third of just 1 of 4 strings to stop sending info from LOR??!?! This one is driving me crazy. I've reset and rebooted everything multiple times. Initially I patched in new pixels, then an entire new string just to find there's nothing wrong with the pixel strings. Running 5.6.10 Anyone have a clue what might be going on? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBrown Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Are you using a different preview for Christmas than Halloween? Is that string of lights defined differently in Prop Definition for the Christmas preview? Is that string all on one universe? If not, check Network Preferences to make sure the second universe is defined properly. Would really need screen shots of the controller setup and Prop Definition and Network Preferences to say more.

GaryMartin2 Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) It is a different preview, but looking at the Preview screen the entire string is functioning normally. Checking the address values, they all look correct. The string is all in the same universe. It's a Multicast universe but so are about 20 others in my setup that are all working properly. It's just this one controller and I'm starting to suspect something is going south inside the controller itself. It's worked perfect for many many years, just started acting up this week. I am going to put an E1.31 monitor on the show computer next, just to make sure it's sending the packets properly.

k6ccc Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 What kind of pixel controllers? Some controlles will give you a lot more information to assist in troubleshooting than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test pattern works 100%, just show data not getting through to the few pixels in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Almost guarantee that there is a mismatch between the Preview and the controller setup. Check everything carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
