Adding virtual LED outputs (DDP) breaks original LED output config that uses a local GPIO pin

automatedelectrics commented 1 month ago

I have a WLED controller that uses a local GPIO pin to run a string of SK6812 LED's; everything is working perfectly well (v0.15.0-b4).
I wanted to add a second controller's LED's (set up exactly the same as the first one and also running v0.15.0-b4) as a virtual output of the first controller.
When I modify the configuration of the first controller (LED Preferences > Hardware setup > LED outputs) to add a second output as either 'DDP RGB (network)', or 'DDP RGBW (network)', and save the updated config, the WLED controller no longer works and does not run any effects.
When I go back into the the LED output configuration settings, the settings for the second output are still there and OK, but the original settings for output 1 that use the local GPIO pin are wiped blank and I cannot reassign them as the first drop down selection box list to set the type of LED's is also blank.
Rolling back to version v0.15.0-b3 on the first controller solves this issue, and I am able to add numerous virtual LED's to several different WLED controllers as needed.

Set up a WLED controller with v0.15.0-b4 firmware and output 1 to use a local GPIO pin to control a LED strip.
Add a second output as either a 'DDP RGB (network)', or 'DDP RGBW (network)' type and save the updated config.

The WLED controller can run normally with output 1 connected to a LED strip via a local GPIO pin and output 2 connected to a virtual LED strip over an Ethernet network using DDP.

b4 is known to have issues in LED configuration. Most have been fixed since. Please build from source.

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate the update :)
