Open the sequence in notepad. Search for .wav. Got anything?
Search the .fseq in notepad for your .mp3 or .wav. Got anything?

Did you update the new file with the exact same name as the old one - save the extension?

Falcon Player (FPP) / Smart Receiver connectivity is...

Last post by Reys Dad - November 29, 2025, 07:46:48 PM

I have a Falcon V5 and I recently upgraded from FPP 9.2 to 9.3 and Xlights 2025.9 to 2025.12
Now whenever I do a FPP upload (or could also be when I do the controller upload) the smart receivers seem to have an issue receiving the data signal afterwards. The four lights on the smart receivers cycle back and forth like those old Cylon Raiders from the original Battlestar Galactica. Anyway, if I push the test button on each of the smart receivers the 4 lights go solid and the lights connected to the smart receiver start working again. Not sure what's causing this but at least there is a workaround in case someone else has the same problem. FYI, I didn't notice this issue with the earlier release during Halloween.

Falcon Player (FPP) / Re: Speakers

Last post by Chicken - November 29, 2025, 07:07:29 PM

FPP master branch (will be 6.2 shortly) has a new API to make this a bit easier.  You can have a Pi in remote mode running the media out it's sound device (or soundblaster).  A push button on a GPIO can "unmute" the sound and then trigger a new api to mute it again in some configured amount of time n the future. 

Can I ask about this API?  I was checking in help-REST api help and did not see one listed there.  I'm not sure if this was exposed as an fpp command but didn't see one that appeared obvious either. 

It would be the "Trigger Command Preset In Future" FPP command.  You would create a FPP command preset that Mutes the sound by setting volume to 0(Call it "Mute" for now).    Also create a Preset that Unmutes (sets volume to 70 or something).  Then create a third preset (call it "MuteIn5Min") that uses the "Trigger Command Preset In Future" that calls the "Mute" preset in 300000ms (5 minutes).  Finally,  create a forth that would "Trigger Multiple Command Presets" to trigger the "Unmute" preset and then the "MuteIn5Min" preset.      When you invoke that one, it should unmute the sound (set volume to 70) and then 5 minutes later it should then mute it again.

Daniel, Just getting around to this.  I think I follow your logic here in the commands but what I am having happen is when the kids his the button it turns the volume from mute / 0 to 70 and starts the 5 minute timer.  Then kid #2 comes around 3 minutes later and hits the button again even though the speakers are at 70 and it starts another 5 minute timer but the original 5 minute timer turns the volume to zero 2 minutes later.  Is there a way to have it cancel the first command in the future when the gpio is triggered again?  Thanks!!

xLights / Re: Has anyone gotten error 53...

Last post by darylc - November 29, 2025, 06:28:46 PM

Be sure your show isnt playing - or atleast not playing that sequence.

That shouldn't affect the upload.

There was a change recently so you can't upload sequences that are currently playing.  I don't remember what version, or if it was an xlights or fpp change.

Falcon Player (FPP) / EDM RDS Plugin

Last post by Chicken - November 29, 2025, 02:19:47 PM

For those of you having problems with the EDM RDS plug-in not working with 8.x and 9.x I think I figured out a work around.  I posted in the github thread someone else started over there.  It looks like it's just the pigpiod service not starting automatically.  I am not sure if that is a problem with the EDM RDS plug-in not starting that correctly when you install the plug-in or FPP 8.x+ not starting that service by default.  It's a quick work around to enable it I documented in the GitHub issue at https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp-edmrds/issues/15.  Merry Christmas.

BeagleBone Black Controllers / Built In FM modular

Last post by Juice5150 - November 29, 2025, 12:00:57 PM

So I have 2 songs to be played this year. I am using a PC in my garage running the Xlights scheduler. When I play the sequences I have 1 song that plays great through the FM and the other song sounded terrible, lots of static. I "assumed" it was because it was a WAV. file. So I converted it to a MP3 file. saved it to the FPP file manager Audio. now I don't hear the 2nd song at all. Any suggestions?
Because the sequence was built with the WAV file does that have to match up with the Audio file?

General Hardware / Failed power supply? Can I ru...

Last post by danj - November 29, 2025, 10:34:09 AM

Troubleshooting advice please!!  I have six power supplies in the large MTM ammo box powering up a Falcon F16V3 and two expander boards.  The "first" power supply that powers up ports 1-8 on the main board is running at 3.5 VDC even when I have all Euro connectors disconnected.  Failed power supply?  These are all mean wells that have been in service for 3-4 seasons.  I am going to try to move props over to other power supplies, but I am concerned this could impact operation of the F16V3 main board.  Thoughts?  TIA!!!
