question regarding existing feature #826

[dutch-anykey]

Hi Martin,

It has been a while since I've been here. But starting again and testing the latest versions that are here :)

While testing, I wanted to test "feature request: play a default fseq file when no FPP sync traffic is coming #826"

But I'm a bit confused. In the post where you describe the solution you said "If FPP sync message stop coming in, the current file will play until completion.
After the current file completes, the system will wait through the blank period (configurable) and then start playing the default file."

My question is how do I set or define the "default file" Is it the first fseq file in the list or should it have a special name?

kind regards,
Maurice

Select the file you want as the background in the "FSEQ File to Play" dropdown. Checkmark the "Override Local File" button.

Thanks Martin,

Tested, it works :)
So far it is stable also. Much better then the last version I tried in February.
(Using D1_mini32 built from webflasher at the moment)
Few observations:
Upload from xlights goes without problem. But the unzipping is not happening (yes I initiated a reboot of the esp) What I see in the logging is that initially upon boot my SD card is not immediately connected/mounted. But when it is completely booted the SD card is there and accessible. Maybe that's the problem. Will try another device tomorrow.

And in Xlights somehow the esp devices are not correctly handled when it comes to .setting gamma, brightness and color order. The color order just doesn't show up under the controller connection settings under each model.
I know this is probably not esp related. And also I can get around it by manually setting the output ports in the esp.

I'll keep on testing :)

kind regards,
Maurice
