Odd LightStrip Behavior

[dbell669]

So I was experminenting with the COB Lights, and one of the 2 strips I have will always have the led light on every light. They are the same strip, and bought from the same source. Its weird because it is catching and changing colors according to commands, and the effects work normally, but as soon as it starts receiving the capture card info none of the individual lights will turn off despite a black screen? any ideas?

Here are my logs for it:

Hi
I do not analyze truncated logs because it is almost always pointless and a waste of time because the most important elements are missing. Have you set the backlight to 0 for both controllers? You can replace them with instances/drivers and check if it's still the same.

[dbell669]

I can confirm that both instances have no backlight. What do you mean by replacing the instances or drivers? Like making a new instance and testing that?

[awawa-dev]

Does each light strip have its own hardware LED driver? If so switch them between the instances (switch COM port number) to exclude particular instance configuration problem. Do not create new instance.
