[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1121021, member: 17766"] Since AtmoLight 1.15 we added the ability to use the hostname or mDNS hostname of your Raspberry Pi device, the mDNS hostname means that locally your machine can always be reached without having to setup any static IP address or any router config. On Windows it requires you to have Apple Bonjour installed: [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999[/url] [U][I]Make sure to disable any Apple software update junk during install as you don't need that if you're only using Bonjour, prevents you from getting update notifications which can be annoying on HTPC machines.[/I][/U] Your mDNS hostname is always formatted with your device hostname like this: <hostname>.local For instance your mDNS hostname by default on OpenElec is called "Openelec.local" as its hostname is OpenElec, once the IP for the hostname changes AtmoLight will automatically resolve the new one. Screenshot of AtmoLight setup with OpenElec + its default mDNS hostname: [ATTACH=full]160502[/ATTACH] [I]This is now also listed under Step 3 of the guide.[/I] [/QUOTE]
