xLights Scanner crashing when trying to scan for Falcon F16V5 v1.03

[bbockstanz]

I have assembled a new Falcon F16V5 v1.03 in an enclosure. I have powered it up and have both an wireless IP address as well as a LAN IP address displayed on the device. I can go in my navigator search bar and type the 10.0.0.86 and successfully reach the board. This is through he wired LAN port. I can make changes, view all the settings, etc for the Falcon.

The issue I have is when running the xLights Scanner to detect all things on the network, it crashes midway through the scan.
This happens with the Falcon still connected to the network with the same IP address as stated earlier (10.0.0.86). I can still reach this device through the browser still. I do get the debug report screen and will attach the zip file.
When I disconnect the Falcon from the network ( removed completely from the network, the xLights Scanner works as it should and detects all remaining devices on the network.
If I connect the Falcon back to the network, I again get the crash and debug report.

Wha thappens if you hist Discover? Make sure you are on the latest 2024.20 version.

I do not have the option in xLights Scanner to hit discover. The only options I have are to right click and hit rescan. But, this can only happen before the crash happens since once the debug screen comes up and you acknowledge it, it closes the application.

I will update now to 2024.20 on this machine but on my other laptop that does have 2024.20, it has the same exact issue.

[bbockstanz]

I installed 2024.20 just now and get the same issue.

I now disconnect the ethernet cable going to the Falcon and do the same thing and get no crash at all.

d same issue is present.

When I use xScanner64, I can see that it recognizes the ip address in the list when it is initially populating. But, to me, when it starts trying to populate the names/description of each device, that is when it crashes.

@keithsw1111 Adding Keith .. hoping he has some insight on the discovery process of the V5.

[bbockstanz]

Also, in xLights, I have added the F16v5 and I do not have an option to visualize. When I double click to open it from the left side under name, I get this error:

Should I be able to visualize the Falcon controller just like all my other Kulp controller in xLights and be able to upload outputs? Both the visualize and upload input boxes are greyed out. But it shows green active and I can click on Open and it will open the webpage interface of the Falcon.

[cybercop23]

Turn on AutoSize and FullxLights Control.

[bbockstanz]

No change. Same result

[bbockstanz]

Sorry, I made one change (universe count). I changed it back so it's back to apples to apples. Still same result:

Can you come see us in the zoom room? xlightszoom.com

[bbockstanz]

Stupid rookie move on my part. I have another device (one of my matrix's having the same ip address. Once i changed it to another ip address, I now have the visualize and upload output options available.
But, the xScanner and Discover options still cause crashing. But emailing back and forth with Keith, he is aware of that issue.
