Is anyone successfully using this add-on in theater mode in Kodi 18? Seems like something changed and now if you use the "disable for short movies" feature it breaks functionality.
I don't want my lights turning on and off for regular TV viewing. I only want it to do this when watching a movie so that feature to work is crucial. Not sure what Leia did to stop it from working but since the developer seems to have abandoned this add-on there is little hope of it being fixed/updated.

hey there,
im new to the game and im using an odroid C2 with the new Coreelec Beta. Just want to have the theater lights for an LED strip and it works fine, when i play x264 video. The moment i want to play x265 10bit video the lights go of, but i dont see any video for a while and i end up with alot of skipped frames, if i get video at all. Does somone have similar problems? Of course everything plays fine, when the plugin is disabled.

I just installed the addon
Is it normal i notice slight stutter when addon enabled? As soon as i disable stutter is gone (vero 4k device)
There isnt really an enable ambilight button, hoe do i know if its disabled? Cause i read that might cause stutter? I havent added lights to it
Also my light is dimming to fast when i start a movie, what setting should i chance for that?

Think your 4k problems are down to the plugin, not the hardware. The plugin is not longer being developed so unless the original developer can update to cope with 4k then won't work :-(

Wonderful addon for hue users !
Just two thinks.
The ambilight mode just don't work for me, android tv isn't even Better for that, color won't change and freeze.....
Second think, the cinema mode just work with music too.....
Not really appropriate when i browse serie with music theme, and for music playing too when i just want to listen music !
Seems to be the problem with 4k CODECS are not supported, hence x265 10bit. Thought this was just an issue with ambilight mode and actual 4k resolution but then im gonna wait or have a look at cinemavision.
