HiMedia Wrapper Philips Hue Control

[redderflag]

Brand new owner of Q5 Pro here..

Did anyone have success controlling Philips Hue Lights from the Wrapper??

Kodi hue addon works on kodi, but not in wrapper. Cinemavision addon also has the same problem..

I invested a lot in Hue Lights for my home theatre and I would like to continue using the HiMedia Player instead of the Kodi internal player as much as I can..

Even if cinemavision works it is fine too as I can use that addon to control hue lights...

Thanks a bunch!

Philips ambilight TV...best solution but expensive one

Thanks for the reply!

More than ambilight I am looking for the functionality to switch off lights when movie plays and turn them on when it stops.
It works great with Kodi. Wish we had this in the media player.

If the wrapper doesnt work, does mx player have this functionality?

You dont watch movies with hue lights on,to follow movies scenes?

I have a projector and a huge screen..so prefer completely dark environment when watching movie..

So... dont have idea...i am on philips 65 tv and can control everything...i think kodi and cinemavision is the only thing that can make what you want...
Or turn lights with phone ...i dont think that there is any player that can even control hue.

Thanks! Yes, looks like the only option is to use kodi but I prefer to use HiMedia Player...

Some other players added support for cinemavision by modifying them a bit...Hope HiMedia does it too!!

What players did that? I guess you can forget the HiMedia support entirely... (The HiPlayer is a very basic "media only" build as in interface such as in functions, and there are still important bugs waiting to be fixed. The last thing that would come up to HiMedia's programmers mind is to add Cinemavision support...) Sorry...

From my very brief research DSPlayer was modified to work with CinemaVision..

On a side note do you guys use HiPlayer for all videos including 1080p or only for 4K...How is the PQ with HiPlayer vs Kodi internal player in general? What do you guys prefer?

I was assuming that a specialized player like HiPlayer would make better use of the hardware of the box...

There's no official frequency switching for KODI on HiMedia Boxes (and I guess neither on any Android Box), that makes HiPlayer the best choice you can get.

However you can install the unofficial freq patch for KODI, but as I have tested it rather behaves a little bit strange and suspicious way, so I would say rather not to do it.  You also won't get HD sound at all and DD and DTS only with KODI 16.1 or with the so called "shitty" build, or with the latest CFW (fixed DD and DTS with KODI 17.4).

As for PQ, i guess KODI uses it's own engine, and I would say HiMedia Player does it better in overall...
