E1.31 Bridge Mode - Crash

[Dszoka]

Hi Team 

I have setup a pi 3 with an Hanson rPI-28D+ cape and I'm wanting to run it as a E1.31 bridge from my lighting desk. 

I have it working via Wifi, but after some time it just stops working.. I have to reboot and wait a bit for it to start again. 

I'm running the latest image 

What could be causing the crash?  and bridge mode only works in remote mode correct ?

Bridge mode isn't bridge mode any longer. You just need the Pi in player mode and the outputs setup as usual. To get FPP to work as per the old bridge mode you just need to configure an E1.31 input and enable it. Fpp will then respond to any data being sent to it on the right universes.
As far as wifi goes I don't know of any limitations that FPP has. It's generally only used/recommended for accessing the webui and/or for sending/receiving sync packets when in master or remote modes.

Thanks Alan 

I decided to upgrade to V9 and start again.   I Found setting it to unicast instead of multicast made everything work. 

I think the amount of data being sent across the network was just a bit too much for the Pi / FFP to handle.

That is because some routers don't handle multicast efficiently

It might be if you were running 2,000,000 pixels
