NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT ATTACH YOUR LOG FILES, THEN THERE IS A HIGHER PROBABILITY THE ISSUE WON'T BE RESOLVED. (Steps at end)

Please answer the following:

FPP Version: | 7.5-7-gfefac7b7
Platform: | Raspberry Pi (Pi 3 Model B)
FPP OS Build: | v2023-08
OS Version: | Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Hardware Serial Number: | 0000000040eb364d
Running a Falcon Pi Cap

Describe the bug and Steps to reproduce:
I run two strings of pixels and have 6 moving heads daisy chained onto the DMX port.
When I run FPP Connect in xLights it uploads the outputs to the PiCap but the last mover in the chain does not operate correctly and is generally many seconds behind where it should be in the sequence.
I have found that after I perform an FPP Connect and upload I need to manually go into the FPP for this device and Change Channel Outputs -> Other to reflect one higher than the 108 that is loaded in here by xLights...
(Not sure if this is an xLights bug or an FPP bug. )
Visualizer Attached

Expected behavior:
I would expect the correct count to be calculated for FPP Connect and sent to the PiCap

Additional context:
Consistent every time FPP Connect is run from xLights

Are your moving heads 16 or 19 channel heads?
MH3 and MH4 are set to 16 while the others are set to 19...

Unless I read this wrong......
MH3 should be 16 (37) not (39)
After that, MH4 should be 16 (54) not (55)
