so now i would say we have a very powerful program 
yes i already looked … but i think they are dead 
In my head, I’ve already thought about something special… i´d like to built a clock with an RTC modul or sync via wifi . and display it on the panels maybe while playing an animation in the background… i think this must be possible … because in jinx there is the option to display the clock and an animation at the same time but with artnet, the PC always have to run… so it would be glad this is possible with this sd-card option or just with an animated programcode on the ESP…
what do you think about this?
@Stef_Weicks try this version of Artnet and try to increase your buffer
@Stef_Weicks yes it’s possible when you read a frame before displaying it you add the time on top of it. And that’s done
@Stef_Weicks ‘we have a very powerful program’ I think indeed. It became kinda good. Could you try to send cool animation via jinx and try to record longer? If you see too many frames lost do not hesitate to rerun ( I have noticed that the number of lost frames can vary a lot)
oh ok … yes i will try… in the meantime i tried to reactivate the sdhc card. till now with no improvements.
and what do you think of saving each universe in a file and merge it together ?
@Stef_Weicks yes this can be done.
It will be jinx only feature though
But now I am going teach a gym class 
from nerdy to sporty
@Stef_Weicks do u see it in the utilitarian disks
oh you are gym-teacher ? ok now i understand why you have so much time for coding 
yes i see the disk … 32GB card shows the size … but formating with the normal windows tool donnt work and also with the terminal i tried it … i have a emulated mac on my pc … i try it now with this… maybeee… we will see
@Stef_Weicks no I work for a consulting company in railway lately it’s quiet at work so I had time to code. I do also teach gym classes on the side for pleasure and this way I am sure to move a bit
@Stef_Weicks just erased the partition or create a new one then you can format

And then format in fat32
thank you! yes i tried several ways including the way you have given me … i think the sd is not repairable
but its not so the problem … i have also a lot of fun with my outdated 1GB SD-card… and it works really great… Thank you again for this piece of work!!
now i did the thing provisionally on my wall … because soon we move to an other apartment
here a short video of some animations …
frames saved:2000 frames lues:2010 lost frames:1
time per frame 17.774500
you don´t even get along with the one frame which is lost!

by the way i am also working in a railway-company cheers
always sittting in front of the computer wont be good. i have also the problem to come to my movements … usually i am a very sporty guy 8)
@Stef_Weicks great job !!! I love the animations !!! I need to find a way to have jinx. Glediator does not have such nice patterns.
Now I need to add something that it replays at the same frame rate than the recording.
Is that via wifi or stored on the SD card.
I hope it will get better soon.
A railway company !! What a small world !!
I am working for Ertms solutions if you find me on LinkedIn
@Yves_BAZIN maybe with vmware or virtual box ? 
the only thing is that the animations are a bit faster than in jinx because of the failing frames… but on my panels is all running smoothly nice!
i absolutely agree - jinx is a real nice software…there is much more overview to setup the pixels and you can do much more settings.
i also tried it with madrix wich is a way better from animations i think … but i´m not so deep in it…
have so much projects around me and no time to complete
@Stef_Weicks I will try wmware. They are faster than in jinx because in the read program you display the frames as soon as you read them.
You have only one failing frame
unless you have added a delay(x) after each frame display.
with this version it takes I think around 10ms to read a frame from SD and 15ms to display hence a frame rate of around 40fps ;). If you remove the 80MHz then it will be slower.
To adapt I need to calculate at which speed the frames arrive and then ask the read program to respect that.
@Yves_BAZIN Thanks i understand!
i also use vmware … i think its one of the best emulators out there.
i testet the SD-card program again and again and it works really well i love it!!
You said it so easy that its possible to write the “animated”-clock between the frames of the animation.
it does not fail to understand how to do this rather to the implementation … maybe you want to help me here if you are still motivated … perhaps you already have a similar code to make writing easier for me?
I looked at the XYMatrix example from the Fastled library… unfortunately I’m not so familiar with the library to be able to implement the whole thing, as I imagine it
