Hi all, I'm trying to run Ambibox but nothing works, other sofware like prismatik and adalight script works fine, but with AmbiBox LEDs stay off.
I tried all capture methods, restarting windows, reinstalling software... and nothing happens
Here's my settings

Thanks!

You should try their site for help http://www.ambibox.ru/en/index.php/Main_Page this is not something Adafruit provides support for.

Re: Program AmbiBox for Adalight (for Windows users only). U
I've been trying to get the Ambibox plugin to work with XBMC Gotham 13.2.
Ambibox is set to XBMC Direct, and the proflies are also set up correctly.
When launching a movie in XBMC it will ask which profile to choose, upon selecting one, the Profile switches on Ambibox but the LEDs stay OFF.
Any ideas?

Please copy and paste your XBMC.log file here: http://xbmclogs.com/ and then post the link in this forum.Bavilo wrote:I've been trying to get the Ambibox plugin to work with XBMC Gotham 13.2.

You may want to try the latest development release here: https://github.com/AmbiBox/script.ambib ... delay2.zip
You will need to manually install to your add-ons directory. Be sure to delete the previous version.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Server IR\Backlight\Profiles\XXXXX\Grabber
where XXXX is the profile name.
That is where the add-on detects whether it is an XBMCDirect capture. It should be equal to 8.

It was set to 6. Why isn't ambibox saving the Profiles correctly? LEDs work now.

Not sure about that. Just double check that in the Ambibox windows program everything looks ok for the profiles you want to use for XBMCDirect and you should be good to go.Bavilo wrote:It was set to 6. Why isn't ambibox saving the Profiles correctly? LEDs work now.

Yep..everything looks fine. It just didn't save the data correctly to registry.KenV99 wrote:Not sure about that.

Re: Program AmbiBox for Adalight (for Windows users only). U
Hope someone can help me out.
Privious I had xbmc 12.2 and ambibox 2.1.4 with xbmc direct and it was working. After an update to xbmc Gothem yesterday the leds are not switching on when playing a movie. I also installed ambibox 2.1.5 to see if this helps, but still - no luck
After the start of xbmc I get two notifications ambibox - connected and set to default, I also get the notification (profil set to default) after starting a movie)
I have tried everything that I could find thu the last sides
xbmc log http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=293797
After posting the log here I created a new profil within ambibox called xbmc, changed the setting in the ambibox addon to xbmc, but it is still not working.
If I switch ambibox on, the leds are changing their color three times

Re: Program AmbiBox for Adalight (for Windows users only). U
Try the newest addon from here:
https://github.com/AmbiBox/script.ambib ... delay2.zip
After placing the new script in the correct directory, please go to the settings page and review all of the settings.
Please ensure that your profile is selected in the profile for XBMCDirect.
If still not working, please upload a log using the above addon and post the link here.

Re: Program AmbiBox for Adalight (for Windows users only). U
I am phasing that out. XBMC does not have any simple way to discover a video file's/stream's dimensions and frame rate. mediainfo.dll can retrieve this, but in the current development version, I am reading that info from XBMC.log. Not a pretty hack, but I've asked the XBMC dev's to make that stuff available and my requests have fallen on deaf ears.scorpie wrote:Wohoooo

So short answer is that in 99% of circumstances, you don't need it anymore.
