How to load custom effect?

Hi I edited the shutdown effect
the following command works fine (cause the blue mood blobs are baked into the code)
hyperion-remote -e "Blue mood blobs"

but my own effect doesn't load at all. Its located in
usr/share/hyperion/effects called shutdown2.py and shutown2.json

{
    "name"   : "SystemShutdown2",
    "script" : "shutdown2.py",
    "args"   :
    {
        "speed"            : 1.2,
        "alarm-color"      : [255,0,0],
        "post-color"       : [255,174,11],
        "shutdown-enabled" : false
    }
}


[//CODE]


neither:
hyperion-remote -e "SystemShutDown2"
hyperion-remote -e "shutdown2"
are working.


Is the effect placed in the wrong location?


TY

also the following piece of line doesn't work like it used to do:

"initialEffect" :
    {
        "background-effect"      : ["Full color mood blobs"],
        //"background-effect-args" : {},
        "foreground-effect"      : ["SystemShutdown2"],
        //"foreground-effect-args" : {},
        "foreground-duration_ms" : 7000

bump*?

tried it, didnt work

Tried that with sudo hyperiond stop / sudo hyperion start. Still no effect. The most strange thing is that it stopped working just randomly. Maybe an ubuntu update caused it?

Could you try the effect? I didn't change anything in the code after it worked but maybe it's handy to verify the files are correct.

https://dropfile.to/wJG6sng

if it ask for an code:
P2NmU6p

i change the code to:

"effects" :
{
"paths" :
[
"/usr/share/hyperion/effects"
],
"disable" :
[
"SystemShutdown2",
"SystemShutdown2"
]

and remove the first paths line, still nothing
i did a chmod and chown on both files, still nothing

Till here goes my knowledge

What if found out is that in the webpage it doesnt see my effect paths

Quote from redPanther

use latest hyperion.ng and use webui to edit config

were can i find V2.1.0 i downloaden the one your guthub and recompiled but the webui says its still on 2.0.0, wanne upgrade first before i try the settings in the webui

EDIT: i know this is dev only, but cant use the install button on the webui cause it wont upgrade

TY

I can become a tester if you guys need people, i have an core 2 duo linux system with kodi as an standalone application. Therefore i use ws2801 leds for kodi.

EDIT 2 : cant submit any setting either from the webUI

so whats this? V2.1.0?

anyway all settings that i save in the webui doesnt get submitted. And still cannot load it. I did compile the latest version from guithub hyperion-ng

TY

Anyway got it all working
