[USER=17766]@Rick164[/USER] , I decided to make the conversion to OSMC since there are more options to play around with, especially since I immediately noticed that OSMC seems more responsive than OpenElec. So far all is working fine except for a few minor issues I ran into while such as learning that the root user has to be enabled in OSMC and that the config file location to set the UART speed is different than OpenElec
I followed the installation guide on this page since using Hypercon alone gave me a bunch of warning and errors about files not found, missing dependencies, or not having the proper permissions. After mucking around with it, it seems like the installation is done, all my LEDs are up and running.
I switched to the STK11660 capture card and now I have the opposite problem where colors look washed out and in some cases, although there are bright colors on the screen there will be little or no color on the Ambilight. I will performing a completely clean install since, like mentioned above, it was some trial and error. Am also going to be switching back to the Fushicai card since saturated colors are better than little or no color at all. It's still gonna drive me nuts if after this my skin tones and blonde hair give me a deep red. Gonna start from scratch if that's the case.

Just for comparison's sake, I know you use the APA102 LEDs and the Fushicai card, but what OS do you have installed on your RPi? . I have the latest release of OSMC.
