This is the first of two meetings that we have planned for those who are going to run the Pi Players in 2017. This first meeting is only for those migrating their LOR files to Xlights.
To prepare for this meeting, please make sure that you have all your LOR controllers defined 100%. If you have spare channels that are not assigned, make sure you do that ahead of the meeting. And be sure to make this change for all your songs. The best way is export your channel configuration once you've made your changes. Then import that configuration for all of your songs. If you add all the spare channels at the bottom of the channel list, then you can more quickly import the channel config without having to insert the spares in between other channels. Be sure to post your questions if you don't understand this or you are looking for clarification.
Also please have a fairly recent version of Xlights loaded on your computer. I saw some LOR import fixes that were added within the last two updates. It would be best if we all installed the version 2017.5 that Sean just posted. The latest releases are found at xLights - Light Sequencer and Show Scheduler
The latest Xlights manual is http://xlights.org/xLights_User_Manual.pdf
