xled on not working about xled HOT 4 CLOSED

The device refuses to go into movie mode if there is no uploaded movie. Apart from at factory reset, it may happen if you delete all uploaded movies. The easiest way to check whether this is the problem, is to use the app to make sure you have a movie uploaded, and then try again. Alternatively, use the python interface to xled (rather than the cli) and try to set the mode to 'effect' instead of movie (to see that the problem concerns 'movie' only) ctr.set_mode("effect"), and then try to see what movies it thinks it has uploaded by ctr.get_movies()._data. Both provided that ctr is your ControlInterface, produced by e.g from xled.control import * followed by ctr = ControlInterface("ip-number-of your-device")

@Anders-Holst,
Thanks for the reply. You were correct. Somehow there were no movies on the device anymore. I have no idea what movie(s) were on there, but I created a new one and now it all works as expected.

I have noticed that app deletes movies after layout mapping.

That might explain it in my case.
