Hi, thanks for your contribution to wled development 👍 I think this PR is a bit mis-labeled ... in fact it does not modify the button handling code. Buttons are read and button can be used as always while WLED is in "external control" mode. The PR does address a weakness that presets controlled by button are not effective until "real time mode" has ended. The PR actually changes the preset and playlist logic, by allowing preset changes and playlist activity during realtime mode. That's a behavioural change and I'm not sure we should go that way. Which the proposed change, the order in the main loop gets changed and presets are now handled prior to OTA, HUE and NightLight. To protect previous behaviour, there should be at new option in "sync interfaces" settings, something like "presets and playlist always active" (maybe find a better wording). I think the root cause of the problem that @IsaccoBenedetti wants to address is somewhere else: Lines 451 to 459 in f830ea4

another option would be to add a checkmark "exit real time mode on button press" in the config and do just that, any button press will exit? |

@IsaccoBenedetti maybe the latest discussion / research is a bit off-topic. Can you explain your use case of the button solution?
|
|
Hi @softhack007, and thank you for your review! You're right, maybe I should explain my use case better. Basically, it's one of those classic "wife approval" factors: this wled instance drives a led strip in our living room, which I connected both to a HyperHDR instance (which is this fork of Hyperion: https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperHDR) and to 2 physical buttons on the wall. To be honest, I feel that since api command LO=2 precise purpose is exactly to break out of realtime mode, any user that adds such a command to a preset will probably expect it to work this way, but I also agree that, since the order of the actions in the main loop is slightly changed now, it may introduce some unexpected consequences, though I haven't noticed any so far. Thus, adding a setting in sync interfaces is probably safer. I can look into it if you'd like, do you have any pointers on how you'd do it, since I'm not familiar with the codebase like you? Let me know what your thoughts are |
|
Hi @softhack007, just a quick ping on this. I've been running the new version (with the opt-in setting) on my setup without issues so far. Let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to change or if you need further tests before the merge. I'd be happy to help if I can. PS: I saw your reference to #5288. While it may seem related, I don't think it actually is: that issue is related to how the JSON API handles automatic timeouts when the stream ends, whereas my PR focuses on manual override while the stream is still active. Thanks! |

Clarify the intent of the double handlePresets() call in realtime button override
handlePlaylist()does not apply the next preset directly; it queues one by settingpresetToApplyviaapplyPresetFromPlaylist(...), so the secondhandlePresets()is required to actually apply that queued preset.- Update the comment in
wled00/button.cpp(368-376) to describe the sequencing (“apply queued preset → optionally advance playlist/queue next preset → apply again”), matching the samehandlePresets(); handlePlaylist(); handlePresets();pattern used forbootPreset > 0inwled00/wled.cpp. - Confirm this presets-first ordering in realtime mode is intentionally different from the normal main loop (
handlePlaylist()thenhandlePresets()), so playlist advancement can’t override the button preset when realtime override is enabled.

Hi, I had a look at PR #5573 and noticed this very useful suggestion from @smitty078 : #5573 (comment) I decided to implement it the way he suggested and I can confirm it's working as expected, without any need to interfere with the main loop. Thanks @smitty078 ! I kept the option in the sync interface section for now, but I feel at this point it should be safe to remove it completely. |

I agree with @DedeHai - things that the main loop handles should go into the main loop. In this case its better to make it explicit in the main loop, instead of "bolting it on" in the button handler.
|
as I just mentioned in #5850 using "main segment only" should do the same thing as this PR. |
|
@coderabbitai the code added in handleIO() which runs before the guarded presethandling in the main loop will allow presets to always run correct? what does the combination of the two blocks in main loop and handleIO() mean if it is consolidated into a single if statement? |

Hi @DedeHai, thank you for your suggestion. I just tried this, and while I get why it may seem to achieve the same result, I don't think it actually does: some presets (the ones using "frz":false) will get garbled: all pixels will be continually switching between displaying the live data and the "normal" preset at the same time. I asked an LLM to analyse the code and explain what's happening exactly. This was the response:
As I understand it, this workaround also won't work in any multi-section setups, so I'd argue this isn't an equivalent fix |
|
Its not equivalent but achieves the same goal differently. Yes it works on multiple segments, just differently. Edit: there is only one difference really: calling service() |
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work, at least not for me... Here's how to reproduce:
You can even see this from the preview. This is the HyperHDR effect alone: This is the preset alone: and this is the result when I activate "use main segment only". As you can see, it's a mix of both: So it seems that the function service() you're mentioning is writing in the same frame buffer the live data function is writing, immediately after. But they're both writing, so as long as service() redraws ALL pixels every cycle this works, but if you use an effect that leaves some pixels off, those pixels get the color that the live data is telling them to. This of course doesn't happen if instead I turn on the setting "Allow presets during realtime" that this PR aims to add. Hopefully this clarifies my point. |
what happens instead with these presets using the PR code? |
From a user perspective, it behaves exactly like before (with "main segment only" off), with one single difference: if the user adds lor:0, lor:1 or lor:2 to any preset, that instruction will get executed correctly (turning live override on or off), instead of being ignored. From an execution perspective, differently from when "main segment only" is on, there's never 2 sources writing at the same time in the frame buffer: if lor:0 you get the live data, if lor:1 or 2 you get the preset effect. And the user can choose when to turn live data on or off in each preset. I feel like maybe I didn't explain myself well and this PR is getting a bit confusing, so here's how you can reproduce the behaviour and assess the difference:
Let me know if this makes the goal clearer |

the goal is not unclear to me, what is unclear is why we need it in the first place when "use main segment only" does almost exactly this. So my question is: which part of the "use main segment only" is not adequate? The "both live & FX overlapping" part? I think that is actually a bug. |
|
Well, there's also the fact that it confines the live picture to a single segment, but in my case there's only one, so yes, to me the reason it's not adequate is exactly the fact that both live data and FX are overlapping. But if you put it like that, and we assume that's an unintended behavior/bug, then yes, fixing it would make it acceptable for my use case. However, this feature was introduced in this PR: #2601. And from what I gather, the intended behavior behind the toggle was to display the live data on a single section instead of the whole strip, and the wording of the toggle reflects this. This doesn't seem like it was intended to be used in this context. Still, if you prefer, I can have a look and try to make the "use main segment only" toggle behave like this PR does instead of overlapping effects, without adding a new checkbox in the settings. Let me know if I should proceed this way. |

Given we see repeated issues and PR where people's expectations of what realtime mode means, it's clear that at least some users don't understand that the current model in WLED is to swap from rendering to just dumb pixel pusher. This is why I think for v17 we really need to rethink how realtime and similar things like the playback of recordings can sit alongside the normal effects mode, while still maintaining performance and not using things like the main segment only, which feels like a hack |

Hi, first time contributor here!
Recently I ran into a small issue when using physical buttons and HyperHDR. I'm not sure if this was done by design, but currently when WLED is receiving a live data stream physical button inputs are not processed. This makes it impossible to regain local control over the lights once a live source is active, without opening the webUI.
Initially I tried assigning a preset with the API command LO=2 (Live Override) to a physical button, but it didn't work as expected, because the functions that handle preset logic (handlePresets() and handlePlaylist()) are located within the conditional block that is skipped when realtimeMode is true.
This issue has been previously reported by the community on the WLED Discourse forums, but it seems it never got resolved: Live data override on the physical button.
This PR aims to solve the issue, simply by moving the handlePresets() and handlePlaylist() function calls out of the if (!realtimeMode || ...) block in the main loop.
This way button presses and their associated API commands are now processed on every loop cycle, regardless of the live data state. When a button triggers a preset containing LO=2, the realtimeOverride flag is correctly set, allowing WLED to exit the live stream and apply the desired preset.
I was a bit worried these functions were purposely been left inside the check for performance reasons, so I tested it specifically on an ESP8266 instead of an ESP32 with a HyperHDR stream, but I couldn't notice any lag or jitter at all. It seems solid.
What do you think?
