Re: Program AmbiBox for Adalight (for Windows users only). U
Ey there, i have a problem with Ambibox.
I launch the strandtest and works perfect, then i launch the ledstream lib and open ambi, so then i put a static background color (green) and it works for about 1-2 sec and then the color changes to red, then green, then red, then green..
And i capture the screen, the leds goes crazy aswell.
And as i said, strandtest works, so Ambi too (since its connected and 'works', badly but works).
Do u know what can happen and how can i fix it?
Thanks and sry for my poorly English since im not native speaker!
edit: Tried in my laptop, and it happens the same. I'm start to thinking that can be a bad Arduino Mega or something like that.

hey
just a short question:
In XBMC, what exactly means the option "xbmcdirect capture quality"?

Re: Program AmbiBox for Adalight (for Windows users only). U
and do you have some tips for the Ambibox settings, to get the effect more like it is on a real Philipps ambilight?
In some cases (e.g. watching normal tv shows) I'd prefer that slow and smoother effect. Sometimes it is annoying that single LEDs change their color too quick and too "hard".
I hope you understand what I mean.

thanks, but even if I max these settings out the single LEDs change their color too hectically.
I'll try to size up the zones, maybe this will help.

I'll upload a video tomorrow to show what I mean.
Meanwhile I had another request for the XBMC plugin:
When I turn off the light via Ambibox shortcut or XBMC, they light up again as if I start or stop a video.
This can be very annoying if you watch some series in the evening and have to take off the lights every 20 minutes when a new episode begins.
Would be great if you could implement an option to take the lights off until they are being activated manually again.
