Is it possible to host WLED on a computer running Windows? I’d like for the Windows machine to generate the LED data and send it to all of my esp32 devices running WLED via DDP. I know that I can do this with an esp32, but what are the limitations of doing so. Can one esp32 handle sending data (5000+ LEDs, multiple segments, multiple effects) to 10+ esp32 devices via DDP? I’m sure I can do this with xLights, but the simplicity of WLED is hard to beat.

you can send the data direct to the controller via IP  
or you use for a sequence the Terminal a Batch file that sends CURLL data
