aptalca Wrote:Hi giftie,Brilliant! Can you share additional details? I've got a Grafik Eye IR dimmer I'd love to integrate but I'm not clear on the architecture I'll need. I'm assuming I'll need an IR blaster and some S/W interface (eventghost?) to allow the CE script to trigger sending of the proper signals.
I have my movie room automated now. It's amazing. Lights flash when trivia starts, and stay on. They dim to 30% w/ trailers. They flash again during "audio video" to let my wife know that the movie is starting (she's usually getting food or something, not a fan of trailers) and lights turn off. When paused, lights come on, when resumed they turn back off. I need to get another module to turn the fish tank's filter off, it can get quite noisy :-)
I do encounter a problem with the script that is intermittent though. Sometimes (about 30% of the time, but I have not noticed a trend) at the end of the first trailer, playback hangs on the last frame, xbmc appears to be frozen. Pressing escape returns to the library.
Here's a log from when it happened: http://pastebin.ca/2056543
Any additional info you can provide would be much appreciated!
