After searching for a while for ways to control my LifX-Z strips using Kodi, I finally decided to install and try out this Addon. I have to say, it does most of what I would want. And it works great! So much fun to have the Theatre option. It adds a lot of useable functionality to my lighting ambiance when I pause or stop a movie. Thank you to the developer for this great Addon! I am running it on Kodi 17.6 on Windows 10, FYI.
I did have a few questions...
-Once in a while, when I start Kodi, it doesn't find my lights. But usually after a restart or two, it will. Not sure if this is a bug, or just my wi-fi not connecting before Kodi is launched or something?
-Is there a way to define sections of the screen for different lights? I can't figure out where it's grabbing the colors from for different lights.
-I know you mentioned multi-zone functionality being on the list for future updates. Any idea when we can look forward to this?
Thanks!

Looks like the Add-On was just updated today. It says the 1.0.7 fix has fixed lights not dimming on initial playback. Although, for me, it was working fine in 1.0.6 and now 1.0.7 has broken it all. They won't dim at all. Is there something I need to do? Uninstall it? Why would this release totally break all functionality? Can I roll back to 1.0.6? I was actually enjoying using this add-on, despite it not always finding my lights. But please let us know what's happening with its development.

This all worked perfectly until I updated to 1.0.7 . Now it can't seem to find my lifx z led strip. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue or what might be causing it?

Hey Guys, I had a friend of mine ( Dima ) make modifications to this addon. If you have a lifX Z strip and 4 strip sections you can use that on the back of your tv and it will change colors for all sides for the image shown. I will post it soon for everyone to use, including some video of it working. It works pretty well and makes the lifx more like a custom ambilight setup.

I was having an issue with this addon where the video would stutter and I'd get a black screen when using the remote control to adjust the volume or get to the context menu. I eventually worked out it was only on some videos, then realised it was conflicting with the hardware acceleration.
Currently I have all hardware acceleration off, but just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if that behaviour is to be expected. I'm running Kodi on a Raspberry PI but it doesn't normally stutter or slow down for any reason.
