Since around build 7. september 2017 there was problem with Hyperion ambilight. In latest commits there was fix for https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion/issues/770
I was struggling to get Hyperion to work. The problem is that when using Hyperion with arduino and adalight the yperion works but there is still a problem.
After many testing hours I have narrowed it doen to the Hyperion kodi addon located at https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.kodi
Grabbing works but it blinks every few seconds. I am 100% sure that there is a problem in this addon.
To use this addon you may not use hyperion-x11 since this one grabs also menus and does not detect black borders. I have commented out in hyperion.start hyperion-x11.
Can someone who knows the coding take a look into that addon if there is something that could caouse thhose blinks.
One another thing I have noted is that blinking is even more frequent if you use any kind of interlacing in Livetv and even more if you are in livetv and not full screen.
As a note kodi grabbing has to be disabled in .json hyperion configuration file.
In my git https://github.com/iLLiac4/script.service.hyperion there is previous versin which also works with 18 but shows the same behaviour as official one. I have a feeling that older one does not blinks so much but I am loosing a feeling since I was spending so much time troubleshooting it.
I hope someone can jump into the problem and try to troubleshoot further since kodir is getting near 18 final and it would be nice to have it working.
Thx in advanced for any tips in addon code fix
