Just learning python, I take the challenge to write this service to control Lightpack

service.lightpackage
Lightpack comanion

• Start Lightpack with Kodi or use it only while playing media, either way
  the service will read the playing media aspect ratio and enable the closer Lightpack profile set in settings accordingly.
  

• You can set profiles for all possible Aspect Ratios read by Kodi
  (1.33, 1.37, 1.66, 1.78, 1.85, 2.20, 2.35, 2.40, 2.55, 2.76)
  

• You can enable a profile for audio
  

• You have to at least set a default profile

Does this work alongside Ambibox/Prismatic, or is it completely standalone?

Either way, awesome, I just got a Lightpak and I love it. The more I can play with the better.

Thanks for this! Does this work with multiple lightpack?

I don't have ambibox but I have prismatik as long as it use the lightpack API, it shouldn't be a problem

Works well for local video files which is great. For live tv from the HDHomeRun the lights match the picture but flicker constantly.

I tested both in PseudoTV Live and hdhomerun add-on.

Well i dont have PseudoTV Live and/or hdhomerun to test and that have to be something directly with the lightpack or something since the service just select and apply profiles already created.

I create a thread for support/request etc.., if any and will leave this one for development discussion purposes.

Hi. I maintain the ambibox add on. One thing I struggled with is that aspect ratio info is not available for many streams using rendercapture. My hack/workaround for this was to read the info from the log. You might think that it would cause a lot of latency, but at least on windows systems, that doesn't seem to be the case.
The code for reading it in is in a separate module here:

https://github.com/AmbiBox/kodi.script.a...fromlog.py

and that code is called in line 591-665 here:

https://github.com/AmbiBox/kodi.script.a...default.py

Feel free to use if you find it useful.

Hi @KenV99 as a lightpack owner I appreciate your offer. Hopefully @reaven will take a look and has not abandoned this add-on.

hey ! glad someone else is using this service.

you have to create the profile in the lightpack software itself. the resolution is 3840 pixels × 2160.
