Monitoring FPP from Remote

[algerdes]

There used to be a plugin/command that would connect a computer to an FPP instance and allow you to see your show.  I thought it was FPPMon, but installing that requires a link to Dan Kulp's site.  Upon installation, there is no view of the site as there was before.

Has this been depricated, or where is it now?  Perhaps going by another name.

Any help would be appreciated as we need this function once again.

Thanks in advance.

FPPMon allows you to access your FPP devices from your phone/tablet from anywhere you are that has an internet connection. It will also send you notifications of critical events.

Are your thinking of the house preview running via virtual matrix?  And I have never run that but there seems to be a number of folks who are or have done that.

Sorry for the late reply.  For some reason this thread did not pop up until now.  (Not going to try to figure out why, at this time.)

The Virtual HTTP worked great for us.  It allowed me to view what the FPP was sending to the controllers in a graphical vision even though the controllers were not hooked up.  This is different from the visuals available from xLights in that it is the FPP that is the focus.  It showed what was messing up compared to xLights.  Saved a LOT of time.

When this was first introduced, I used it quite a bit, but for some reason let it go over time.  Now that I'm not as "mobile", using it again is a blessing.

Just one of many gems within the xLights and FPP programs.  Thanks to all that have and are working on this project.  Keep up the good work.
