Hi, I think you can solve this by using two projects with one show in each.
Then hook QLC+ to cron or whatever and load the project with the -o command line option.
Also, remember to set each Show to autostart in the Function manager (green flag)

Well, I'm not sure I fully understand what is your setup, but I guess the OLA image (and my image as well) doesn't include an X server, so if you built QLC+ from sources, the default rendering method is XCB, which requires a running X server.
In my image the default rendering method is EGLFS, which is available with Qt5 though. Basically you could try to build with Qt5 and launch qlcplus with --platform eglfs

Ok i understand i think it isnt possible with the rpi1 b+
I give up
I hope it is possible with the rpi3 it will arrive at thuesday.
Can you tell me if a OLA & QLC+ Image exists?
Or can you tell me which is the right way to make both packages install on Raspbian Jessie lite?
Best regards
Timo

In the evening i will donate 15€ to you and hope you Support me ;)
I use following Hardware :
Raspberry PI 3

http://yourduino.com/sunshop//index.php ... tail&p=323

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32693761209.html#autostay here the ws-dmx-6ch-ban-v3

The setup was running at my older rpi1 b+ v1.2

I use the native-uart Modul from OLA and it was running ;)
Because qlc+ was very slow and command line says cannot connect to x Server.
Tomorrow i arrive a new rpi 3 and we will see... I hope so
