Falcon Player Plugins / Re: Remote Falcon Set List
Last post by ab21 - Today at 05:55:25 AMYes it's 200. I found my mistake was not going into FPP to the RF plugin and clicking the 'sync with RF' button.

Falcon Player (FPP) / FPP 9.4 Released!
Last post by dkulp - December 09, 2025, 11:44:58 PMFPP 9.4 Released!
This release is primarily to address various bugs and crashes found in 9.3. Once again, hundreds of crash logs were examined to try and determine common problems and get them addressed. Many bugs/issues reported by users were addressed. That said, there are quite a number of enhancements as well.
NOTE: The OS level has not changedfrom 2025-11. There is no need to do a full OS level upgrade.
Enhancements

NOTE: The OS level has not changedfrom 2025-11. There is no need to do a full OS level upgrade.
Enhancements
- Support "EERPOM version" that is separate from hardware version. Display in Cape Info if available.
- Allow the vendor to provde notes for various eeprom versions
- Initial support to store assets for Virtual Display so xLights can be updated to send the assets
- Added several new "enhanced warnings" with more details
- Add GPIO event publishing to MQTT for rising and falling edge detection
- Add MQTT event publishing for command execution and preset triggers
- Add dedicated help page for MQTT
- Add generic plugin header display callback so plugins can optionally publish info to header
- Increase tail in file manager to 250 files
- If the fseq file is locked during upload (due to currently playing), keep the file with a "replace" extension and next time the sequence is used or closed, it will be be swapped in
- Add validation and warning for invalid command presets in command presets UI
- Add support for UseNTPFromDHCP setting in network configuration
- Add option for 128x64 1/16 Scan in ColorLight LED panel selection
- Update URL wrapping in multisync.php to use proxy for external links
- Update boot delay logic that allows long delays with UI feedback whilst keeping timeouts low
- Fix a bunch of spelling mistakes throughout the UI
- Fix BBShiftString output if both PRU's are needed
- Fix some crashing with BB48String if PRU's get "stuck"
- Fix some issues with Cape Signing not able to reach the signing service
- Fix some javascript resources that were heading off to the internet to retrieve stuff
- Fix a Playlist Start race condition if started from API call
- Fix MEDIA_STOPPED and MEDIA_STARTED events from VLC play commands
- Fix PlayList empty flag being improperly set
- Update the base overlay to not configure the PB2's internal RTC (which is not battery backed up)
- Enhance ledPanelsSize handling to support legacy configurations and upgrade path
- Prevent stopping sequence entry if it is already finished in Process method - prevents extra notification
- Expose FPP_UUID as advanced mode setting
- Fix issues with ArtNet when re-configuring inputs and outputs which could result in the wrong socket being used
- Fix some crashes when using FPP Commands in a playlist
- Fix some crashes with PixelOverlayModel if attempting to draw beyond the size of the model
- Fix some crashes in BBShiftPanel when shutting down the output
- Ensure network interface configs persist across upgardes

F16v5 Pixel Controller / F16v5 side1 (ports 1-8) dead
Last post by Davonyx - December 09, 2025, 10:32:14 PMI have both sides fused with 20a fuse which was blown when reverse polarity on a power injection using a second port for power only. I replaced fuse and smelled pre smoke but no smoke. I unhooked everything and connected my test led and no voltage at port. Repowering it did nothing. Second half is working OK, so I moved my three ports over. I also have 4 remote ports. On the status page, it has voltage at 16v for side A and 12v for side B, where both sides are hooked to same power supply with separate 20a fuses. Any recommendations post season to check out? Another observation, fuse LEDs on side A are very dim and OK for side B where they are working. Status screen says all is on, when I reset, it only shuts off upper ports.

Falcon Player (FPP) / fpp 9.4 FPPD not found. Rebuil...
Last post by Pableria - December 09, 2025, 09:27:25 PMOh my god, right in the middle of the Christmas season I decided to update FPP and bam, upgrade failed.
After upgrading and restarting, I got this message: FPPD not found. Rebuild required.
I'm using fpp in Raspberri Pi 5.
When I clicked on Rebuild, it said Upgrade Failed. I've attached the log below.
I really don't want to lose anything and have to reconfigure everything...
What do you suggest me to do?

Falcon Player Plugins / Remote Falcon Set List
Last post by ab21 - December 09, 2025, 07:09:24 PMIs there a maximum number of sequences that can be used/displayed on a playlist in RF? The program was working fine, but I noticed one sequence (the last one) in the playlist wasn't showing up on the viewer screen.
Are there special procedures to take if a playlist is changed in FPP?
