My lights seem to be doing different things when FPP is playing?

Current Issue
My lights seem to be doing different things when FPP is playing?
Solution
Wrong pixels are lighting up when played from FPP
Normally this indicates that something has changed on the layout but FPP hasn't been updated, if you can re-render the sequence then save, then FPP Connect and make sure UDP Out is set to ALL.
What have they tried?
Plugging and unplugging things

Wrong pixels are lighting up when played from FPP
Normally this indicates that something has changed on the layout but FPP hasn't been updated, if you can re-render the sequence then save, then FPP Connect and make sure UDP Out is set to ALL.
Wrong pixels are lighting up when played from xLights
Normally this indicates that something has changed on the layout but the controllers hasn't been updated, if you can re-render the sequence then save, then go to the controllers tab in xLights and click Upload Outputs to the relevant controller.
