Daslight Forum

I can't comment on the others (as I'm not on the Daslight 5 development team), but with regard to your request - "Rename a Daslight instance in the remote app", this is actually coming. The name of the instance will be editable in Daslight settings (I think it will default to the computer ...

So clearly Daslight Remote is working, but your firewall is blocking it when enabled. The fact that it can find the Daslight 5 instance but not connect implies that UDP packets are getting through (i.e. the discovery part), but that inbound TCP connections are being blocked. See if you can manually ...

1. We have this same set-up and it works OK, so it may be that something is blocking your connection. Try going to System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Local Network, and look at the setting for Daslight 5. If it is already on, turn it off and back on again. Try also disabling the firewall i...

If you're just using Arcolis Remote Pro for triggering scenes, setting colour overrides etc., you can use Arcolis Remote instead. Arcolis Remote can save passwords, so you don't have to enter them repeatedly.

The suggestion of a high-contrast setting has been made before, so we're hoping to implement it over the next few weeks. In terms of your other query "is the iphoneapp already running, mine doesn't". What exactly do you mean? The app has been available on iOS and Android for a couple of ye...

I've just tested this with Daslight 5 v5.0.5.1, and it works correctly, i.e. when pages are re-arranged in Daslight 5 they are correctly re-arranged in the Remote app too.

When you say "re-order scenes", do you mean changing the order of the pages? If so, there is a known issue with Daslight 5, which is that it does not correctly send the page order to the Remote app (which simply mirrors what it is told by the app). There is a new version of Daslight 5, whi...

Yes this is still planned; it should get worked on over the next few weeks.

Actually I think it is me that is the stupid one. Apparently this functionality is not there at the moment. The remote app receives a Daslight instance name, but currently this always contains the string "Daslight". The DL 5 development team have created a task either to use the computer n...

This is an interesting idea that I hadn't thought about before. Can you post some images of the controls from the "old software" that you were using on sunny days, which are easier to see?

Does Daslight show up in the list of available instances in the assistant dialog (link button in the bottom left), and you just can't connect to it, or does it not appear at all?

Also, do you have any other network connections enabled at the same time: mobile data, normal Wi-Fi?

I believe that you can change the name of the Daslight instance (within Daslight itself, not the app). The app will just pick the name that it is given by Daslight when searching for running instances. Unfortunately there is currently no password facility between the remote app and Daslight 5. This ...

There is a remote control API that we publish to perform actions such as starting / stopping scenes. On older devices it used UDP packets, but on newer ones it uses a combination of UDP (for discovery) and TCP for connecting, triggering etc. If it's just stand-alone scenes you want to trigger, have ...

It sounds like you have a rather complicated show set up, so I can see why it would be a pain to go back through all your presets again. Although how often do you change the profile? Is there something in the way you set it up that requires to the profile to be changed frequently? In terms of how yo...

Currently there is a catalogue of standard gobo patterns, which both the Light RIder app and the cloud 'know' about. When a profile is downloaded, it contains a string name that corresponds to the pattern. I don't know if there is any planned update to allow user uploaded graphics, but including thi...
