Help Getting Code to work with xLights #1

Description

@GeorgeIoak

I've been trying to debug this by myself but I'm a bit stuck now and I'm hoping that you could help.

  • I have 4 panels and confirmed that they work with hzeller's code, this is what I have working:
    ./led-image-viewer -C --led-rows=64 --led-cols=64 --led-gpio-mapping=adafruit-hat-pwm --led-show-refresh --led-chain=4 -l100 --led-pixel-mapper=U-mapper --led-rgb-sequence=BGR --led-slowdown-gpio=0 --led-pwm-lsb-nanoseconds=50 /share/mickeyminnie.stream
  • I configured xLights with an ArtNet model that has 96 Universes, each with 512 Channels
  • I used WireShark and confirmed that xLights is sending ArtNet packets
  • I added debug statements to you Python program and confirmed that showDisplay was getting called but I'm only seeing idx =0 (sometimes = 1) but rgb_length is always 0
  • I added debug statements to getSequenceFromFrameBuffer and I see bufferCounter count up to 960. I'm a little lost at this point but it seems that somewhere in this area the packets are not being read (or sent) correctly.

Perhaps I have done something wrong in my setup but this is the first time I have used ArtNet and I'm just learning xLights.
