Cloud Status / Control UI
Open the Cloud screen from the sidebar to see how your player is connected to EZRGB, watch layout and sequence downloads, and trigger a sync when you have just changed something on EZRGB.
If the player is not registered yet, start with Registering.
Connection summary
The card at the top shows your overall cloud state:
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Not connected to cloud | The player is not registered yet. Click Register Player. |
| Cloud paused | Cloud sync is turned off. Settings are kept — click Resume Cloud to continue. |
| Cloud connected | The player is registered and actively talking to EZRGB. |
When connected (or paused with a layout mode already chosen), a chip shows who owns the layout:
- Cloud master — layout and sequences come from EZRGB. Local layout edits will be overwritten on the next sync.
- xLights master — your local show folder owns the layout; the cloud syncs sequences and other content.
A line below may show current activity — Pulling layout…, Unpacking layout…, Pushing layout…, downloading sequences, or that everything is Up to date.
Buttons on the top card
What you see depends on the connection mode:
| Mode | Actions |
|---|---|
| Not connected | Register Player |
| Paused | Resume Cloud, Disconnect |
| xLights master | Sync Content Now, Push Layout, Pause, Switch to Cloud-managed, Disconnect |
| Cloud master | Sync Layout + Content, Pause, Switch to xLights-managed, Disconnect |
Disconnect clears this folder's Player ID (the cloud URL is kept). Confirm in the dialog before continuing — you will need to register again to reconnect.
Cloud Status
A quick health check:
- Cloud Reachable —
yes/no/(unknown)from the last check-in - Player Registered — whether EZRGB knows this player
- Cloud Version, Last Checked, Last Error
If something is wrong, Last Error usually points you in the right direction.
Cloud Layout
Shows layout sync between EZRGB and your show folder — status, direction, when it was last downloaded or uploaded, and any errors. A progress bar appears while a transfer is running.
From this card you can also:
- Fetch Layout — pull the layout from EZRGB (cloud-managed shows)
- Push Layout — upload your local layout to EZRGB (xLights-managed shows)
Cloud Content
Lists the sequences assigned to this player and how far along each download is. Click a row to expand it and see individual files.
Common sequence statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| installed | Ready to play — appears in Songs |
| downloading | Files are transferring now |
| pending / rendering | Cloud is still preparing the sequence |
| disabled | Turned off on EZRGB for this show |
| error | Something failed — expand the row for details |
| known | Seen in the manifest, but not ready yet |
If the list is empty, confirm you are registered, cloud is not paused, and you have sequences assigned on EZRGB. A halted chip means content sync stopped with an error — check Last Error and try Sync Content Now (or Sync Layout + Content) after fixing the underlying problem.
Remote Control Link
Shown once the player is registered. The QR code and link open the player's control page in any browser with no sign-in. The link contains the Player ID, so share it only with people who should be able to control the player.
Turn off Enable Cloud Remote Control to refuse remote control from the cloud. The link and QR code are hidden and anyone currently connected is disconnected. Registration, status reporting, and content sync continue.
Cloud Configuration
Shows this folder's cloud URL and Player ID. The Player ID is masked; use the eye icon to reveal it or the copy icon to copy it. Click Edit to open the same registration / settings dialog as Settings → Cloud. See Cloud settings for polling schedule and other options.
On the EZRGB website
Once registered, open your EZRGB account and find the player under EZPlayer. Click Manage Player to use the full EZPlayer UI over the internet — playlists, schedule, playback, volume, and the rest of the management screens — without being on the show network. Prefer opening Manage Player in a new browser tab so the player UI has full screen space.
