Any chance you can post the full file to pastebin, as the code posted is incomplete(probably due to forum rules)? I'm sure others would want to use it, or build from it.
Thanks
Sorry about that Giftie,
I had not realized the script had cut off when I posted it. i now have it working grade A perfect, at least for what I want it to. I will post a couple videos to demonstrate the effects (not the greatest video I ever shot, but needed it to be dark to see the lights etc). It also shows off what a little planning can do for the fluidity in your script as an experience on the whole. So bear through it if you want to see something a "little" different with the home automation.
I have two Rock Gear spotlights under the TV that are on X10 A1 settings for the script to be be turned on and off at certain points. The lights dance changing intensity based on the sounds which is kid of cool (got it for Rock Band but will use it more for this). The A2 setting is the lamp which I have at either on 30%, off, or on 100% when it flashes before movie starts.
For something new you may not have seen or heard of which I have been working on I have found a way to match up my old Betabrite sign to your python code called as a subprocess. If anyone wants to try it i can point them in the general direction, and there has to be easier ways to go about it, but hey, documentation is sketchy at best out there on the betabrite and I got it working thanks to making some autohotkey exe files and calling them at trigger points in your script.
The ambient lights behind the TV is the ARFX module, and presently is not linked to the script. i may or may not link it, but will probably just leave it on throughout at this lesser intensity for less distractions during actual shows.
Okay, so here are the vids... http://youtu.be/74Jn9nObOMU and part 2 http://youtu.be/mPpNlO2scz0 ;
they are dark, bear through them; if they are too hard to see I may try to reshoot them with my iPad, haven't tried the video on it but it has to be better than my phone I would think...
Will post the working code for the home auto script in a few short minutes, had to change computers after uploading vids to youtube
