Lights only work in Kodi menu, not movies

  • Hello,


    I'm using OSMC/Kodi on a Vero 2 and hope to use Hyperion with 4 Philips Hue bulbs in my lounge.


    I seem to have successfully installed everything, and I think the configuration is mostly ok because when I start the service, the bulbs cycle through the rainbow colours. Also when navigating the menu in Kodi, the bulbs change colour to match what is displayed on screen.


    However, as soon as I start playing a movie, the lights go off and stop working... Given my config below, can anyone see why please?

  • I saw a suggestion in another kodi thread to delete the frame grabber lines, but for me that made things worse in that the lights no longer work in kodi menu (and still not in the movies).

  • I saw another suggestion to try the following:


    "device" :
    {
    "colorOrder" : "rgb",
    "name" : "MyHyperionConfig",
    "output" : "/tmp/file.txt",
    "rate" : 1000000,
    "type" : "file"
    }


    I added this before my Philips Hue "device" config (should I have removed that as well?), but after playing a movie there was nothing in /tmp/file.txt

  • Hi Penfold42, thanks for your help. I can confirm that adding amlgrabber above my existing framegrabber config, the lights now work during a movie. :)


    "amlgrabber" :
    {
    "width" : 64,
    "height" : 64,
    "frequency_Hz" : 2.5
    "priority" : 889
    },

    "framegrabber" :
    {
    "width" : 64,
    "height" : 64,
    "frequency_Hz" : 2.5,
    "priority" : 890
    },
