[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1226103, member: 17766"] For amblight / Hyperion users made something new that works a bit better with madVR image capture and doesn't use AtmoLight, this not as near as configureable as AtmoLight is but can be a replacement for basic capture. First release so please let me know of any issues :) [B]How it works [/B] - On playback start / stop even it sends API call to HyperionScreenCapture (separate windows application) which in turn enables / disables its Windows live capture and forwards that to Hyperion (like we do in AtmoLight). All image capture is done externally. [B]Benefits over AtmoLight[/B] - It will work in DX 9/11 modes (even exclusive) so just about everything madVR has to offer. - Same as with Atmolight the desktop / media performance is not affected, low cpu usage as well but can tweak capture delay if needed and It's ~5% cpu usage on Ryzen 1800X @ 60FPS without any capture delay. - Smooth capture without delays, right now the hooks we use with AtmoLight are not ideal as they depend heavily on madvR settings (frame buffers) - AtmoLight isn't needed as capture is external. - Can assign remote key to toggle capture (optional) [B]Installation [/B] - Unpack HyperionScreenCap_withAPI.zip somewhere and start it. - Go to the system tray and right click its icon, select setup. - Change Hyperion IP / Hostname and port to match your setup and make sure API is enabled. - Click save and make sure capture works, can toggle it on / off manually by double clicking the system tray icon. - Now for the Mediaportal part install the plugin (HyperionScreenCapture_1.0.3.0.mpe1). - Optionally can open Mediaportal configuration -> Plugins and check to see if settings are ok or assign a manual toggle key, it should match the API port from your HyperionScreenCapture setup (default is 29445). - Disable AtmoLight plugin as it may conflict with capture / led control, unless you want AtmoLight for EVR and in that case make sure to tick the [B]Only use when madVR is active [/B]option in plugin. - Now start Mediaportal and enjoy :) HyperionScreenCap.exe can be manually added to Windows startup for now but next official release will have it either in installer or plugin will handle that for you. Plugin also has a Kodi dsplayer counterpart: [URL='https://github.com/RickDB/script.hyperionscreencapture']GitHub - RickDB/script.hyperionscreencapture: Controls HyperionScreenCapture during playback events[/URL] [B]Known imitations [/B] [S]- Multi-monitor support is limited, in HyperionScreenCapture you can select a monitor index but if Mediaportal isn't on primary most likely not gonna work.[/S] [B]Source code[/B] [URL='https://github.com/ambilight-4-mediaportal/MP1-HyperionScreenCapture']GitHub - ambilight-4-mediaportal/MP1-HyperionScreenCapture: Mediaportal plugin which controls HyperionScreenCapture capture via its API[/URL] [B]Credits[/B] hanselb - [URL='https://github.com/hanselb/HyperionScreenCap']GitHub - hanselb/HyperionScreenCap: Screen capture program for Hyperion ambilight[/URL] [/QUOTE]
