AtmoLight and Visualization (2 Viewers)

[BassFan]

i have tested with your exemple.exe + atmowin, and it's working fine.
you think BassVisAPI.net.dll can be the bug ?

no that File is only a reference/Interface and a Bridge to BassVis API.

@legnod
you have set atmolight like screenshot above,
because, i think you use Atmowin GDI for capture ( i hope i me wrong )

I'm sorry you don't understand me..

you can nothing Change
over the Settings from Atmolight Plugin
Only Startup Parameter like leds-off.

if AtmoWin start then all Action to AtmoWin come from BassVis NOT! from AtmoLight.
all Settings in Atmolight then has no longer any effect to your Hardware.

AtmoWin with Bassvis is a standalone Application which not used any of MP or 3rdPart-Plugin from MP.

i think you use Atmowin GDI for capture

What use they?

i'm set LiveViewSource lvsExternal not lvsGDI on Start

function  TAtmoWinLive.Start(Format: TPixelFormat) : Bool;
begin
  if (not (Format in [pf16Bit, pf24Bit, pf32Bit])) then
  begin
    raise Exception.Create('Unsupported pixel format.');
  end;
 
  FFormat := Format;
 
  if FAtmoWinInterface.Initialize = nil then
  begin
    FInitialized := false;
    Result := False;
    exit;
  end else
  Result := True;
 
  FAtmoWinInterface.SetEffect(cemLivePicture, FOldEffect);
  FOldLiveViewSource := FAtmoWinInterface.GetLiveViewSource;
  FAtmoWinInterface.SetLiveViewSource(lvsExternal);
  CreateTransferBuffers;
  FInitialized := true;
 
end;

PS:
You can do the following so that you know what I mean
Uninstall the AtmoLight process plugin Then start AtmoWin before it starts MP
Then you can see bassvis works with AtmoWin without Atmolight.
I use AtmoLight that AtmoWin automatically start before MP launches
Only the settings from AtmoWin used in Bassvis not this from AtmoLight

it seems, bassvis can't connect to Atmowin.

Question :
- UAC can have bad effect on the communication ?
- How Bassvis can know if Atmowin is started ? or found the good path to it ?

 

[BassFan]

it seems, bassvis can't connect to Atmowin.

Hmmm..

Work only in FullScreen and only with Sonique with this build.

UAC can have bad effect on the communication ?

UAC allways off by me for a single Home User PC.

ALLWAYS ON FULLSCREEN
i'm a piece of shit. all my test qas in windowed mode .... ( i hope is the issue )

 

[BassFan]

ALLWAYS ON FULLSCREEN

Yes..

all my test qas in windowed mode ....

That can not Work
Do Change from FullScreen to Window mode AtmoWin will stop and deaktivate all LEDs

        EnterCriticalSection(CritSect);
        try
          if (FAtmoRunning) then
          begin
            if (FAtmoWinInterface.Initialize <> nil) then
            begin
              FullScreen := GetFullScreen(ParentHandle);
              if FullScreen then  // only FullScreen
              begin
                FAtmoWin.Render(ScrBitmap, pf32Bit, ParentHandle, VisInfo^.VisDC,
                  StretchWidth, StretchHeight);
                FDisableLEDs := True;
              end else
              if FDisableLEDs then // no FullScreen
              begin
                FAtmoWin.DisableLEDs;
                FDisableLEDs := False;
              end;
          end else
          FAtmoRunning := False;
          end;
        finally
          LeaveCriticalSection(CritSect);
        end;

So, i think we have found the issue, and i'm sure you talking about test it on Fullscreen view.

but why have you added this setting ?
i can understand only because Ambilight can be used for HTPC system, and we use only fullscreen for this.

 

[BassFan]

but why have you added this setting ?

Weil es der richtige weg ist
Es bringt nichts ein kleines Fenster auf dem Desktop mit Ambilight zu visualisieren
Zudem habe ich das Problem das die Visualisierung immer aktiv sein kann so wie in MP
auch wenn es nicht sichtbar ist also in einem kleinen Fenster im Hintergrund.
Das würde dann dazu führen das AtmoLight immer aktiv ist und der Anwender sich dann wundert warum
die LEDs nicht aus sind.
----------------
Because it is the right
It's no use to visualize a small window on the desktop with Ambilight
In addition, I have the problem that the visualization is active can be as in MP
Although not visible so it's in a small window in the background.
That would then cause the AtmoLight is always active and the user then wonders why
the LEDs are not out.
