RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - mdvries - 2016-04-03 @fritsch I checked my settings.xml in the resources directory and it states this: <setting id="group_id" type="number" label="309" default="0" visible ="eq(-4,0)" enable="eq(-4,0)" /> <setting id="ambilight_dim_group" type="number" label="602" default="0" enable="eq(-1,true)" visible="eq(-1,true)" /> Shouldn't this set the id? RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - fritsch - 2016-04-03 Shouldn't or should? It crashes right? so whatever it should, you need to fix it :-) RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - mdvries - 2016-04-03 Haha, yes I should And I did Simply going into the configure menu. Assigning group 0 there and disabling-enabling the plugin. Then setup my 3 lights at the TV and it works! Thanks a lot fritsch. RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - lj2010 - 2016-04-03 I'm trying to install this add on. I install all that is required and then try to search for hub. A pop up comes up saying searching and then it disappears but then that's it. nothing happens. Any Advice. ? Philips hue integration or add-on - schweppy - 2016-04-05 @fritsch is it possible for you to hack this to work with SPMC? Throws up a load of Python errors at the mo. http://xbmclogs.com/pdldf5vu3 RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - fritsch - 2016-04-05 I'd ask on the SPMC bugtracker.

Koying has said it won't work because of Kodi references but someone else has said they have it working. I'm not clever enough for this... [WINKING FACE] RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - fritsch - 2016-04-05 Reproduce with kodi first - best (latest nightly) and see if it works ... Philips hue integration or add-on - schweppy - 2016-04-05 I've just reinstalled Kodi and copied over the config files from SPMC and the addon works fine. Very strange! RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - htpcrelic - 2016-04-19 I sadly bought a Hue starter kit mainly for this add on. Only my FireTV stick it works but is unusable as video skips and stutters. This is with Jarvis 16.1 RC2 (surface disabled). I also tried Isenguard 15.2 and it did the same thing. I tried 7.2 and 8 beta 2 from both fritsch's github and michael carroll's. I then tried the various Hue addon versions on two different Windows desktops and tried the Hue addon. On the Windows systems I couldn't even get it to connect to the bridge. It says it looks for it then gives an error sound after a few seconds. Unfortunately without Ambilight for TV viewing I can't justify my purchase and will have to return it. If I just want bulbs that can change colors from an app I can get the Mi Light ones on Amazon for dirt cheap. Thanks for any help. RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - Bjur - 2016-04-26 What is the staus if I buy a Philips hue kit with 3 lamps. Is there still to much delay to use as ambilight in Kodi? RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - Bully268 - 2016-04-26 Has anyone got this working on a FireTV box using the kodi 16.1? I got it installed and then after finding the bridge I get an error, rebooting kodi just throws the same error when the service is trying to load. http://xbmclogs.com/p55d1tawp RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - cw-kid - 2016-05-01 (2015-04-17, 22:41)boggo22 Wrote: Hello, Hi I am getting the same error. I cannot get this working on OpenElec 6.0.3 / Kodi Isengard 15.2 I have tried the forks from Michael Caroll and Fritsch both version 0.7.2 come up with this script error after Kodi launches. I also tried the beta version from Michael Caroll, that ones does not have script errors, but I could not get Ambilight mode to work at all. I have a Gen 1 Philips Hue hub and LED strip. Anyone else have this working with OpenElec ? Code: Error Type: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'> Thanks. RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - cw-kid - 2016-05-01 Seems I have it working now and the LED strip light is changing colours with what is being displayed on the screen in the movie. I had to manually create my own user on the Philips Hue bridge and then I entered that same user ID in to the Kodi add-on settings and it just started working. I used my Windows PC to create the user ID and then entered that ID in to the OpenElec HTPC add-on settings etc. I am using the Fritsch fork as it seems to be the last one to have been updated? To do this I read this page here and created a new user as it describes. Using the Clip API Debugger tool, I entered the following to create a user; URL Field: /api Body Field: {"devicetype":"my_hue_app#kodi"} I just called my user kodi In the Command Response area, you then end up with a user ID like 1028d66426293e821ecfd9ef1a0731df for example. I then manually added this in to the Kodi add-on settings and hey presto it just started working. Also worth noting I have the following settings in the Kodi add-on turned off, but not sure if it makes any difference ? Bridge Configuration -> Enable Initial Flash Advanced Settings -> Override Hue Colours So it seems the add-ons auto configuration is not creating a user properly on the bridge Are there any recommended tweaks to the add-ons settings to optimize the setup ? Thanks RE: Philips hue integration or add-on - Koying - 2016-05-03 Use the "develop" branch. 0.7.2 tries to create it's own user, which is deprecated in Hue. |
