[QUOTE="Lightning303, post: 1076672, member: 97876"] As 1.10.0.0 was a bigger rework and i added a few new features and changed some old ones, i wanted to make a post explaining some of them in more detail. [B]Menu Mode[/B] A so called Menu Mode was added. This means, that you can now use your Ambilight even if you are just in the menus of MediaPortal, and not just during playback. You can choose to have the AtmoWin Liveview enabled, to show the colors of the displayed picture with you LEDs, or you can choose to have a static color displayed while in menu. All modes expect for MediaPortal Liveview are possible to choose. Default is LEDs disabled. [B]Color Button Menu[/B] The so called "STOP Button Menu" is now a "Color Button Menu". Using the Stop button to open the AtmoLight context menu had some limitations. For example, you could only use this menu when there was no playback. This has been changed, so you can assign one of the four color buttons (red, green, yellow or blue) to open the menu everywhere and everytime. The menu itself has also been reworked and a lot of options have been added. You can now change the effect on the fly, change the AtmoWin profile, change LED Delay (see below) or change the static color. [B]Language support within MediaPortal[/B] Language file support has been improved. This means that now you can use your own language with the AtmoLight menu. Before language file support was restricted to the configuration form. At the moment there are 4 language files. English, German, Dutch and French. It would be nice if we can add more. So if anybody speaks another language and wants to help, just let us know. We would highly apreciate it. [B]Delay[/B] This feature was inspired by @[USER=29743]kenwonders[/USER]. Often the LEDs change their colors a little bit before the TV changes the picture. To synchronize both again a delay is needed. @[USER=29743]kenwonders[/USER] made an AtmoDuino version that implements this for the Arduino, however users with other Hardware or users who need more delay then possible on Arduino can now use this feature aswell. Some important information for this feature. We found out that the delay changes if you use different refresh rates. So the delay gets calculated for each refresh rate. What you have to do is, set a delay in the settings for one specific refresh rate, preferably the one you use the most (23/24 for movies, 50 for tv). With these values AtmoLight can then later calculate the delay for the other refresh rates.
