Visiualization and ambilight - alamata - 2013-11-09

hey to all,...

i use the addon hue.ambilight

Code:
""An XBMC add-on that controls Philips Hue lights.
In "Theatre mode" the add-on dims the the Philips Hue lights as soon as a movie starts playing, and turns the lights back on once the movie is done.
"Ambilight mode" turns your Philips Hue lights in a room-sized ambilight""

it s a great addon,...

it will be perfect if

it could have a ambilight effect during music visualisation,...Cool

the question has been already asked,...

here is the cees-elzinga (the autor of the addon) response:


"
This would be a great addition. But it's also a lot of work. Since I don't use XBMC for music playback myself this won't happen (at least not by me..)
"

source


but i have read that in the boblight thread:
""
Currently boblight is only driven when the videoplayer is running. We hope to be able to extend it to the menu and even music playback in the future- though this will need major changes in the XBMC core so it wouldn't be the near future
""

is the same situation here,....??

hey,...

amet,... thx for your answer,...

indeed,...

hue addon use RenderCapture:

Code:
Capture images of abitrary size of the currently displayed video stream.

what are the needed modifications in xbmc to enable "similar effect" during music visualisation,...
