Hi

I recently started using QLC+ after coming from xLights. I only have serial adressable LED strips which can be driven using E1.31 (WLED - ESP32).
When defining a LED strip in xLights, it will assign channels automatically and when reaching 510 (170 RGB LEDS) it will continue in the next universe.

In QLC, i define my columns and rows. I have a matrix display in a vertical snakeline. When defining this, qlc will just assign channels to rows.
The matrix consists of 8 x 30 pixels.
For example, my first 5 rows get assigned 90 channels each reaching 450. The 6th row should start at 451, end at 510 and then continue in universe 2 channel 1.
This is not the case, it immediately jumps to universe 2 channel 1 for row 6.

How can this be changed?

Thanks!

This is a known issue in v4.xx
The workaround is remapping universe 2 - which is a quite tedious job, but it works. There is a lengthy thread on the forum of a colleague having the same issues.

Allright, is this on the roadmap for future versions?
