Well after much hassle and some prayer - I upgraded one more time to v8.5.1-15 this morning and after some continued messing around it now seems to work.  I've added all the output instructions and they seem to be staying and the Abnormal Error message is gone.  I'm feeling a little unsure that it'll continue to work correctly, but it's working good right now.

Thanks to you guys for trying to lend a hand.

I'll likely need to get one or two of these panels in to actually diagnose the layout.   I did just add a 32 zig zag option (and 40 zig zag for P4's) to master branch as I noticed they were missing.   This semi looks like the 32zig zag, but setting to 80 really makes the picture useless as that's not any multiple of the panel sizes and thus would screw up any attempt to diagnose things from the picture.

Again, getting a panel to me for a few days would definitely get them working.    You have all the "parts" of the pattern displayed so it's just a matter of mapping the placements.   This isn't like the new PWM panels that wouldn't be displaying anything.

Ok, I've got. a working version with a ,,Color Fade" overlay effect now. Unfortunately the effect only uses rgb instead of rgbw of my stripes. xLights can use rgbw wich does look better. 
If someone has a creative Idea to utilize the xLights power, this would be very welcome.

What I didn't mention so far. I'm using fpp currently not for a great light show. I just want to control the lights in my home cinema with it. Switching lights on and off and setting the color just works fine with the HomeAssistant plugin. But I hoped I could achieve cooler on/off effects, if I utilize the xLights capabilities. E.g. fading out the lights from front to back in room if a movie starts or just a smooth fade out instead of switching them off instantly.

Quote from: allknowing2012 on June 11, 2025, 01:21:14 PMThere will always be a reset/off after a sequence. No way around it - best you can do is make the sequence longer so as to reduce the number of times it does that. A totally different approach might be to just start a wled effect on fpp - that way it stays running until you turn off the fpp command. (not using xlights at all in that scenario)
I also tried using a Wled effect on fpp already, but I couldn't find one, which just fades in and keeps the lights on. I think there was just an effect, which fades in with a period of time and fades out again after.
Anyway, I would prefer to use xLights, because of the flexibility of the effects.

I want to control the behavior of the lights with the api. Can I set the overlay state to on, start the effect and just don't set the overlay state back to off afterwards? I maybe can try this later today.

You didn't set the arrows in the correct order. Thes panels are a bit confusing because they have double arrows. Try turning the arrows to the left

I tried downloading and installing the v9.0 FPP with the same results. Here's the config screenshots:

Poporacer - the pi is not connected to any output devices yet - the pi is sitting on a bench by itself.  I have been building the channel outputs setup (on the input/ouputs page) as I've done for many years prior to testing it out on actual outputs. My issue is that the channel info stays for awhile after I've quite inputting the info and then disappears and the error message appears.  So the error message is not the big problem - the loss of output configuration is.

MikeKrebs - I'm sorry, but I haven't figured out how to send you a copy of the co-universes file.  My limited understanding of commands is the major hold up.

Thanks again -

That is what I was asking to be sure. I wanted to make sure that maybe you weren't using xLights for testing your sequence and actually using FPP. Look in your FPP settings>Playback and make sure that Blank between sequences is not selected.
