To show hue dimming when movie starts, I found this:

Seems it also supports boblight hench the confusion :

Will look over the ambibox plugin code and copy the snippets to compare

@Rick164 absolutely amazing thnx

The Hue dimming looks great just can't believe that's with the actual Hue bridge in between as it's way too smooth and fast at the same time, the 200ms delay is fixed while some have found a way around (like disco) you would loose smoothing.
Do you know if that is with the official Kodi Hue plugin or some fork?

I tried with this:

And yes it looks fast...

Cool, looks like someone rewrote it and even added grouping.
Added to to-do list for AtmoHue enhancements

/UPDATE:

Forwarded both code samples from the Ambibox implementation (C# and Python) to my friend to look over and should have more in the next few days.

@Lightning303 is the Mediaportal Live mode from the Ambibox application handled differently then with XBMC/KODI Live mode?

As in the beginning we had some issue with it which required a fix on their end but afaik they only had to change the way we call it not the way it processes images requests (at least compared to kodi) but just want to make sure

@Rick164 you and your friend want to have a go at this problem?
Here is the section in question in AtmoLight:
https://github.com/ambilight-4-medi...e/Targets/AmbiBox/AmbiBoxHandler.cs#L202-L236

Its writing the captured image to a memory mapped file, which AmbiBox then reads. The problem is that it seems sometimes AmbiBox reads an empty file or a wrong file and then assumes black, and then we get a flicker.

The Kodi/XBMC plugin can be found here:

No its handled exactly the same.
The problem in the beginning was AmbiBox crashing when i would send a long API command, but the image transfare has nothing to do with the API.

Edit: Well for some reason the forum didnt show any new posts until i actually posted... weird.

Yeah we'll have a go at it, forwarded the links to him and have some spare time to debug early next week

we already have some basic domotica features (zones / manual toggles)

Is this already enabled for MediaPortal or where you talking about something else?

I have a Vera3 controlled Z-Wave network, and there is: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/home-automation/micasaverde-vera-controller

But by launching certain URIs manually I could expand things even more if I have a way to launch them based on certain MePo events.
