P5 Panel issues

[DaSarge]

I have recently updated my P5 Panel to FPP  9.3-3-g28ffc36a. I run a sequence that is just an xlights sequence that lasts for 60 minutes.  After 1 minute the panel goes blank.  Looking at the FPP page, it states that the sequence is still active.  Could there possibly be some configuration issue or bug in FPP  9.3-3-g28ffc36a

You probably should include some more info in order to get a more informed response. Are the panels on a cape or controlled by a colorlight? What size is the matrix? Are you playing back from a Pi, Beagle or PC? If it's a Pi or Beagle are they a master/player or are you running them as remotes? How big is the fseq file that has been created and is in use for the P5 matrix? Is the fseq file v1 or v2?

The panels are on a Cape, PocketScroller version 2.0, Matrix is 2 wide by 3 high, playing back from a Beagle (stand alone) here is the fseq file size from the FPP:

I do not know how to tell if it is v1 or v2

I may be wrong but an 8M file seems very small for a 128x96 matrix for an hour long sequence.

That's for sure!  I just looked, my 13 second Merry Christmas clip is almost 30 MB.

So, the sequence is just a .mp4 file popped into my panel prop within xlights.  not sure what is up with it.

I have reverted back to FPP 8.x and my panels react/perform as they used to.  I do not know if there is a firmware update for the P5 panels from Wired Watts. But this resolved my issues.

For various reasons (mostly my lack of time), I did not make ANY changes to my P10 matrix this year.  It's still running FPP v8.3.  I am running the 4H x 3H P10 matrix on a PocketBeagle with PocketScroller.  It is using ArtNet (SMPTE time code) for sync, with the show computer only sending sync data to it.
