EDIT: Installed on Kodi 16.2 (LibreELEC 7.0.2 on Chromebox). Works fine in Theatre Mode, which is just what I wanted.

If anyone wants to help collect tips and info about using Philips Hue on Kodi, there's now a wiki page: http://kodi.wiki/view/Philips_Hue

When I install the latest software from the link on the last page I get the following error when the app connects to my bridge.

Im like 40% sure this is saying you set your light to light 1 and it doesn't see a light on light 1 check your lights id and set it accordingly in the hue kodi add on settings

Anyone know how to get this working with MADVR??.. I realized today that MADVR DSPlayer was the only thing that stopped this from working

Working great on 16.1 minus this little roadblock anyone have any input

Is there any chance a feature can be added to allow you to determine a time range for Ambilight to be active (dusk-to-dawn) and deactive during the day ?

Hi,

Does the feature to undim the lights on pause work for anyone using https://github.com/mpolednik version?

Here it doesn't work. Just wondering if it's a bug.

Thx

Works for me!

Ok, I figured it out. In theater mode the pause undim behavior does work, but it doesn't in ambient light mode, which is different than the original version of this which I was using. So a feature request I guess.

Thx

In ambi mode the lights are on during playback, so it makes no sense to undim them on pause?

If you have 3 lights and one is a light strip behind the tv, in ambient mode you have ambient control that one, so it changes with picture, and the other 2 dim and undim on play/stop. It would be nice to have it also allow undim on pause in ambient light mode for the 2 other lights.

Ahh yes i see, good point.

You may be able to do something with the addon "trigger actions on playback" - or some name like that, I'll see if I can find it, as that vague description probably won't get you there!
