Hello,
I started my lighting career with using QLC+, but nowadays I'm using Onyx (Obsidian Control Systems/Elation).

But, Onyx stopped supporting Enttec DMX Interfaces (Open/Pro). In my church, I would like to use Onyx to send ArtNet data to a server which is running QLC+.
QLC+ is configured to Passtrough ArtNet (from Onyx on the Main PC) to the Enttec Interface.
I tried everything I could try but I did'nt get it to run in the way I described.

Has anyone of you an idea how to solve this Problem?
If you need additional information please let me know.
The Server is running Windows Server 2019, the main PC Windows 10, QLC+ and Onyx are updated to the latest Version.

Greetings from Germany
David

Where exactly is the issue -- the universe mapping? Is QLC+ is receiving the Artnet data? If you have it working to that point, maybe you should send over your project file...

I assume you have already seen it, but I would highly recommend the Artnet section in the docs. ;)

The Universe Mapping is'nt the Problem, but QLC+ is not Receiving ArtNet Data. In Onyx I can select between ArtNet Full Broadcast or Broadcast to a specific IP Adress. I tried both but in QLC+ i can't see any ArtNet data coming in.

The ArtNet Section in the Docs was helpful for the Universe Mapping in QLC+ but for this problem I did'nt found help.

What Onyx calls broadcast to one IP = unicast LOL. Use this. (Set the IP-address of your 2019 server)
Does Onyx send out Artnet outside of the 2.x.x.x/8 or 10.x.x.x/8 subnets? (Meaning Onyx won't send to 192.168.x.x/24)
Win server firewall exceptions entered? UDP port 6454 for incoming traffic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art-Net

Sniff network traffic to be sure. A good DMX sniffer, I find, is Wireshark. It has the Artnet & sACN packet interpreter built-in.
