AtmoLight - 1.18.6.0 [2016-09-21] (2 Viewers)

Just checked.

I am not using that option. Should I try with it?

Just tried, same delay.

@Rick164 stop testing.... I found the solution.

The issue is within madvr and the way it handles frames, I started thinking which madvr settings might have a strong effect on the problem, so I went ahead and tweaked a couple of settings within madvr until I found this one:



If I disable "Present Several Frames In Advance" then my leds are working exactly as if I was using EVR.

So somehow forcing madvr into presenting several frames in advance is triggering the issue, if I had to guess the timming is getting off.

Now lets hope this setting wont create new issues somewhere else...

P.S.
While taking a look at my windows event viewer I noticed I am getting lots of these:


Faulting application name: AtmoWinA.exe, version: 1.0.0.9, time stamp: 0x5754079d

Faulting module name: AtmoWinA.exe, version: 1.0.0.9, time stamp: 0x5754079d

This one pops up every now and then in the middle of my screen when I start watching a video or when I stop watching it, I remember I had this one on windows 7 as well.

Any ideas?

 

[Rick164]

Awesome, best guess is that its madVR is caching them as fast as it can but doesn't have a fixed order / timing.
Although with my HTPC setup (GTX1080 + I7) I can't reproduce it yet.

AtmoWinA looks like hard crash which could be system load related or that AtmoLight is sending invalid data as I'm not sure how well AtmoWin handles that tbh, Ligjhtning used to maintain it so knows more about it.
Any corresponding Mediaportal error logs that show something during those crashes?

Do suggest to most especially on new setups to go with Hyperion, it's a bit more work to setup but in the end you get something that is well maintained and future ready

Got no logs right now, but once the issue appears again I will make sure to collect u the logs.

Ok found out something interesting.

I checked windows event logs and kept track of the AtmoWin crash.

Fair enough it popped up @ 16/3/2017 10:34:50 PM:

Faulting application name: AtmoWinA.exe, version: 1.0.0.9, time stamp: 0x5754079d

Then I compared the timestamp to the MediaPortal log:

I also noticed that I never get the error during playback but get it very often during a movie stop.

So something from AtmoLight side is triggering the AtmoWin crash.

I got no idea what this one does:

Any help is appreciated.

Could I please ask what switch 3D sbs mode on/off does as well as turn on theatre mode?

Thank you

 

[Rick164]

Never used that mode here, so in AtmoLight when you enable 3D SBS it should turn on theater mode for Hue as well?

 

[richardc1983]

Just wondering if there is a new version of atmolight coming out at all?

Thank you

 

[Rick164]

There isn't much on the to do list, will be pushing out a new stable version though that supports only Mediaportal 1.16 because of madVR changes.
AtmoWin bugfixes are on there as well but hard to trace and lack of time.

If you could reply to my previous question can check to see if that is possible

as below for you

I've no idea what either functions are meant to do I was asking what do they do functionality wise.

If you turn on 3D sbs theatre mode stays off. I am not sure what it's meant to do or what I should see from the hue light.
