Need help running vixen shows on ESPixelstick with built in Falcon player

[boowho]

I'm VERY new to all of this, so I'm taking baby steps.

I have an expixelstick with the V4 firmware that has a built in FFP server.

I'm not understanding what controller outputs in Vixen, that the ESP needs to play a sequence,

I've exported to an .FSEQ file and UL'ed it to the stick. But nothing plays. V4 has a few "shows" included and I can select one of them and the play perfectly (like CHASE, BLINK, LIGHTNING, etc).

But not the UL'ed ones. Do I have to UL anything other that the .FSEQ file

Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?? Thanks.

Have you read through this page:

First of all, the ESPv4 is NOT an FPP Server. It is an FPP CLIENT and expects and FPP server to send it FPP Sync packets to tell it what to play. When you set the ESPP to FPP Remote mode (Via Input 2) you will get the option to manually play the fseq files that have been loaded onto the ESP. You can also create a playlist of fseq files that the ESP will work through (more info in the docs). Keep in mind that the fseq files you loda onto the ESP must only contain the channel data needed by the ESP. This is called a "Sparse fseq file".

FWIW, my problem is/was that Vixen exports FSEQ file as compressed. Changed to uncompressed and espixelstick v4 plays the fseq file perfectly.

FYI: If you set the advanced mode on the admin page, you will see a status message telling you exactly that information.
