Philips hue integration or add-on
It needs RenderCapture to be implemented.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

which Nuc do you have ? My zotac ci540 (i5) works fine (software decoding), but for only 1 TV channel, it's not smooth

but for all other 1080p video, even a 15 Gb MKV, it's fine

I'm using this with my i5 Haswell NUC, with Helix 14.1. Every time I reboot I have to disable and re-enable the plugin for it to work!

Discussion: this plugin requires the lights to be in an {"on":true} state before playback begins. The plugin is also not nice in that it does not restore the lights to their pre-video settings.

Impact: My lights are normally off, so the plugin appeared to not work. The plugin would also make the lights garishly bright, washed out green at the stop of the video.

Suggested improvement: I made some modifications so it now functions in my particular case. The changes begin with #th comments. https://github.com/hardyt/script.xbmc.hue.ambilight. Ambilight works when I play video. The lights are returned to their original state on stop, pause, or end. I may take the time to configure this as an option, but probably not anytime soon.

Just looking at the code, if i understand you, you add a check to verify if the light are ON or not ? If, not, you switch it on. That's it ?

To use your modification, we just have to replace lib/tools.py ?

Another question : can someone explain me the advanced function ? I'm french and don't really understand some off these function

Replace both tools.py and default.py.

The modification adds:
-check and save initial light state
-ensure lights are on
-on stop/pause/end the lights go to the initial light state

Example 1: Lights are off, movie plays, plugin functions (not tested with theater mode), movie ends, lights off
Example 2: Lights red, movie plays, plugin functions, movie ends, lights go red

Turns out that testing with 1 lightbulb is not smart Smile When adding all 3 to my setup, I found that the lamp ID was not correctly set in Kodi. Therefore my Kodi setup was working, but not giving the correct signal to the right lamp ID.

For other people in the future: place all 3 lightbulbs in your resp. lights and start testing from there. Bulb 1 isn't always lamp ID 1 in KODI.

Thanks people for your help. Even 1080 movies work great on my NUC.

The plugin is awesome Wink (perhaps small request: could it be possible to use Ambilight plugin for Milkdrop visuals? ) Big Grin

Thanks.

You could give my music viz plugin a shot: 217183 (thread)
There are binaries for Windows x86, Ubuntu x86, and OpenELEC on imx6. Let me know if you try it!

Sooo... I got my lightstrips today. And just one word: amazing! Smile
Currently watching the Killers live in Royal Albert Hall while writing this. I really didn't expect it to work so well. Sure, there is a small delay but I don't think it will be annoying in most scenes.

Setup was super easy, no problems so far. FHD movies in hardware mode work just fine on my HP N54L with HD6450.
Just need to properly fix it behind my TV yet so that the single LEDs are not visible.

Great work!

Which addon are you referring to? The lights on/off or the ambilight?

i'm runing kodi 14.0 on a Minix Neo X8-H X8H Plus.
with hardware acceleration = plugin doesn't work (only teather mode, not the ambilight)
with software acceleration = plugin works (both modes), but 1080p movies are not watchable (stuttering, pixel...)

i need to see if there's a way to tweak the software acceleration, but i'd rather than leave hardware acc. in future instead of using the ambilight plugin ConfusedSadUndecided
unless, there's a workarround?

Hi, if your box is S802 based chipset, it's basically the same issue with Hyperion addon as reported here : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=219563

More people reporting it may be helpful.
