AtmoHue - BETA - Philips Hue support for AtmoLight & AtmoWin (2 Viewers)

[Rick164]

Just added the new beta version of AtmoLight to the first post as well, tested out the VU meter and the shutdown for the average speed music was about 3s so it's better than it was before

Changelog

14-11-2014 - AtmoLight BETA updated

AtmoLight 1.13.109.0 - BETA version

- Corrected error in average blue difference calculation for live view.
- Applied minimal color difference logic to the VU meter (Music), this should reduce the 'disco' effect and allow for more direct led disabling.

- unstopable ...

two small things (no issues):

- Can you make it possible to edit teh LED settings? Currently if you want to for example rename it you need to delete it and readd it.
- With Atmowin you got the option to set a delay (thnkfully so the colors are in sync with my TV) - in my case it's about 50ms. The colors you use are effected by this delay to? And if yes - can this be modified to reduce the gap (it's very smal already but ...)

The colorcorrection now seems to work great - some coloring on teh striopes and the Iris (iris used to be much more pastel before)

Great work - THX!

You mean the delay in AtmoLight? Cause AtmoWin has no delay function .
If you set a delay in the AtmoLight settings, then this delay will be applied to all targets when you use MediaPortal Liveview Mode.

Yeah that can be done, don't like the current item list already as the ones from Microsoft are either limited or difficult in use so probably gonna go with a 3rd party one.

Like @Lightning303 said if it's the one from AtmoLight that can't be helped as it will delay the image for all targets by design ,

If you set a delay in the AtmoLight settings, then this delay will be applied to all targets when you use MediaPortal Liveview Mode.

Maybe we can add exclusions for specific targets?
Especially since the Hue Bridge is already slow enough as is

JaJa - Atmolight freilisch

So is it possible to set it different for the targets - if it is correct that it is calculated in time but deleayed in distribution?

 

[Lightning303]

Yeah,
we could add a list of targets that are excluded from the delay (hardcoded), and currently only Hue would be in it.
So you could save the 50ms, not that i think it will make any difference though .

Thanks, will take a look this weekend
Every ms counts when it comes to the Hue hardware

 

[Lightning303]

Its like 3 lines of code .
I can add it if you want me to .

I just did the testing colour rotation.. it is set at the default value of 100ms in the textbox. I'm noticing the colour changes almost exactly every one second (roughly monitored with a wrist watch).

Is that expected outcome or is that slower than you would expect? (using your new version btw).

EDIT: A query.. in the atmolight plugin there is a note that says 'Use the context menu to switch effects'. What context menu is that? Is there control within a skin?

I'm also seeing some strange behaviour. I have just one light set for live tv. I start media from tvseries and winhue is doing its thing.. but eventually the light stops doing anything. I press stop on the media and the light goes out. I start the media again and resume from the previous position and it takes like 40 seconds for the light to turn back on again?

Maybe it would help to record a video off my phone or something?

Don't underestimate this - every ms counts as Rick164 said
