multilightpack results in errors/warnings

[Sp0rks]

Hi, I have 3 light packs connected to a Rasberry PI 2.0 (running Stretch) and after spending longer than I care to admit trying to compile Hyperion.NG I finally got it working but am experiencing issues where it throws various errors and warnings regarding the packs, doesn't always detect the 3 of them and even if it does, throws errors regardless and a majority of the time only 1 (if I'm lucky 2) of the packs will actually light up.

This is what it gives me when running in verbose

and it'll spam that WARNING about no more led data until I kill it.

I completely understand this is still in ALPHA but thought I'd play around with it

The error re: serial numbers isn’t an error - it should be marked as info.

How many leds do you have configured ?

[Sp0rks]

I have 30 LEDs configured

I have the three packs, the usb capture device and flirc connected to a powered usb hub which is then connected to the pi

this was one of the good examples where it detected all three packs (even though only one actually turned on), it quite often gives a LIBUSB_ERROR_PIPE or something along those lines when it runs through its detection routine and wont return all the serial numbers, the current stable version of hyperion does this too occasionally but restarting the service (quite often multiple times) usually fixes it

If I configure it to run just one pack, it'll actually work and wont spam that warning regarding no more led data available

@Sp0rks It is already a while since you opened this issue.... Would you mind checking, if your problems get resolved by #855?
