Known Issues

• Audio Input Handling

  • LedFx might explode if you don't have a valid audio input stream. Sorry and whoops.

• sACN Display Rate

  • Still fiddling with the sACN library - currently the "refresh rate" variable is a best effort FPS and is not accurate.

• Editing active device breaks it

  • Maybe don't do this. We're working on it!

• Incomplete Change List

  • We just didn't keep track! Whoops!

Coming up...

• QLC+ Support

• Spotify Support [Beta]

• Effects Rewrite: Build and customize your own effects from a palette of effect sources and colour mappings.

Other News

• LedFx Website: We now have a website! Not much going on here save for hosting the Windows installer downloads.

• Easy Windows Installation. Windows users can download an installer that automatically updates LedFx with the latest features for you. Windows installer download

• Automatic crash reporting with Sentry: If something breaks, we'll know about it! Any errors will be automatically transmitted to the developers
  so we can fix them - in the unlikely event any sensitive personal data is transmitted with a crash report the developers will remove it as soon as possible.
  The crash reporter we use is Sentry - you can see their privacy policy that developers are held to. The LedFx privacy policy
  is pretty simple - we will use the logs to fix LedFx. We don't use any user analytics, user tracking or any of that.
