Output to Lights Icon

Dubbs2022 opened this issue · 7 comments

Apologies if this is already a known issue, but when I click the lightbulb icon to "output to lights" it doesn't turn yellow. Sometimes it will eventually turn yellow after about a minute, othertimes it just stays white even though the lights are being controlled.

Can't say that we've seen that. What OS, what version?

Do you have auto uploaded enabled on the controller tab?

I'm using Windows xLights (Ver 2024.15 64bit), this was also happening on the previous version.

I'm not familiar with "auto uploaded" maybe that is my issue, how do I turn this on/off?

This image probably doesn't help much, but as an example I'm currently playing it (and my lights are on outside) but the output to lights bulb is still white. After about a 45 seconds it may turn yellow, sometimes never goes yellow.

It' san option for each controller. Go to Controllers tab and look for Auto Upload Config...
While having that on, may be slower to start, it should upload config and then turn on the bulb.
If they are all unchecked already, hop on zoom, xLights -> Help -> Zoom

That seems to have fixed it! I had one of my controllers with "auto upload" enabled. Unticking it fixed the issue!

ok.. so that's not it then.. what ctrls do you have... take a screen shot of the left side that lists them all and all of the options across

I fixed it with what you said, one of my Pixel Sticks had the "auto upload" ticked on. Once I de-selected it, it worked.
