Overview
AtmoLight is a process plugin that interfaces with different ambilight solutions and brings Ambilight to MediaPortal.
The main function is to send the needed data directly to your ambilight solution to reduce the CPU load drastically, making Ambilight and smooth playback possible.
Installation
Please install AtmoLight with the MediaPortal Extension Manager. Open the AtmoLight configuration form through the plugin section of the MediaPortal Configuration tool and set everything up to your liking.
If you are using MediaPortal 1.5 or older, you will also need to install the MPCoreChanger plugin, which will add needed funtionality to MediaPortal.
If you want to use the MediaPortal Liveview Mode in the GUI/Music/Radio (no videoplayback) then you need a patched MediaPortal.exe. Please download the exe here.
MadVR support (BETA)
Currently requires separate Mediaportal build and AtmoLight version (see download link below), Mediaportal release can be found below and is still in development:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/madvr-support-in-mp1.133972/
So in short if you are running that Mediaportal build you need to use the AtmoLight madVR release, otherwise use the regular release.
GUI capture while using madVR is on the to-do list and not working with it.
Problems/Bugs
You have a problem or found any bugs? Please read the FAQs first. If that did not help, just try to explain your problem here in this thread. Please also note that without logs (MediaPortal.log), we often cant help you, so make sure to always attach logs.
Having problems with the connection to AtmoWin after resume? try the AtmoWakeHelper option in the AtmoLight configuration (AtmoWin tab).
