(2014-06-18, 21:26)KenV99 Wrote: I am starting this thread for support for the script for ambibox which just recently was accepted in the official repo.

Prerequisites
An external LED ambient lighting setup (i.e. WS2801 LED's and an Arduino board connected to your HTPC).
Windows 7 or higher.
The windows program ambibox is installed and setup.

Functions
The script setup allows different lighting profiles based on content. It also provides a capture mode directly from XBMC to the ambibox program.
For some users, this direct capture mode may provide improved performance over other capture modes.

Links
More info about the Ambibox Program and download
Details about configuring the script
Demo video
Download the most recent version for manual installation

Notes for current users
This release version (1.0.1 and higher) does away with the use of a separate xml file for aspect ratio switching. This is configured directly on the add-on page.
You will need to reconfigure your settings, but this should be much easier due to the fact that the names of your profiles are retrieved from Ambibox and can be selected on the settings page.
Due to rules to be included in the official repo, mediainfo.dll is no longer included directly in the script download. If you desire the added functionality this provides, it can be downloaded and installed directly from the settings page.
There are a number of new features. Check the link above.

Troubleshooting
If you believe you are having trouble with the script, please post in this thread.
Please post a copy of your XBMC.log on pastebin.com and provide a link in your post.
If appropriate, please also post a copy of your settings (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.ambibox\settings.xml) to pastebin.com as well.
Please include a brief summary of your hardware and specifically what capture mode you were using when you encountered your problem.

FAQ
Will this run on OS's other than windows?
No. I did not author the windows program and author has indicated he has no intention in making it cross-platform.

Can you help me with performance or hardware issues related to Ambibox?
No. This thread is for help with the script. The program author addresses hardware issues here: Ambibox hardware forum
