Hi! I have a patch sitting that will enable our builtin EventServer to broadcast stuff (mainly usable for truly plug n play remotes) and it will feature Broadcasting of playback start, stop, pause and anything usefull really.
Currently were in a feature freeze so in atlantis+1 (or svn in a month or so) Ill add it.
From what I know you should be able to use the webserver for this aswell but the EventServer will probably make it easier for you programming wise (EventServer is a UDP server so less overhead/parsing than with http and TCP/IP)
Anyways whichever you choose it should be doable by creating a script/binary that would listen for the broadcasts and trigger the dimming.
Cheers,
Tobias
