Christmas Light Shows

Have been getting interested in creating Christmas Light Shows [lights or individually programmable pixels synchronized to music] recently…tis the season. Spent a couple hours just watching FPP and xLights/Nutcracker videos. I have a Pi and find this Christmas light Show technology very interesting. Especially Linux only solutions using Raspberry Pi running the FPP [Falcon Pi Player]. However it requires sequence files created by xLights. All of the videos that I watched used Windows/Mac PCs to run xLights to create the required sequence files for the FPP. I want Linux only! Created a Linux Mint VM to use to get xLights working. Binaries exist for Windows and Mac only…I think. Had to manually download source and compile on Linux. Used the “README.linux” file on gethub to do this. Got it running…apparently. Will test more tomorrow.
