Title: Ambilight: H8 + Milight + Kodi
Post by: fload on August 18, 2016, 12:01:08 PM

Hi,

Has anybody tried to setup a ambilight solution using Milight bulbs the H8 and the MiLight Controller Kodi AddOn?
http://epocapp.bitbucket.org/

It seems like a very cool and cheap solution.

The initial installation is easy, but unfortunately the colors are not updated correctly. Only when I start a video, the colors change.
I am in touch with the developer and he suspects that the kernel doesn't support screen capturing.

Maybe some of you have already tested it in the latest firmware...?

Cheers,
Flo

Actually it is supposed to be working on Android as well with the Kodi AddOn: "If you don't use Windows, the Ambilight part of the application has also been ported as a standalone Addon for Kodi/XBMC. This Addon is compatible with all platforms (Windows,Linux,Mac OSX, Android etc) and all CPU types (x86,ARM etc) that are supported by Kodi."

The problem is that apparently the kernel of the H8 does not support "screen capturing".
