Boblight/Ambilight clone anyone?

[koying]

Hue has its own protocol, so probably won't work unless you conscientiously baked it in

PS Pity addons were abused, because they're very valuable in situations like these...

It would not be an issue to add it in, finding Hue in this part of the world might be difficult )

thanks, sounds like Hue isnt a great option because of the protocol for direct bridge integration, also sounds like it would take an arduino/rpi box to solder in the connections to the controller today. would have been nice to have direct communications using something like a script, unless it can be hard coded into the code to work, it likely will never work as expected.

Amet. Just wondering if boblight is now included on mrmc in appletv 4?
I can't seem to find it in settings (2.8.0)
Cheers

Settings -> Services -> LightEffects Client

[amet]

it might be under "expert" settings, not in front of ATV4 to check now

[Deano72]

Doh!
Excellent. Many thanks. Will have a play

I have a raspberry pi 3 and i now have the wife-nod to try out a boblight setup.
What would I need to install on the pi?
Boblight on kodi or is there a build for pi with just a boblight server on?
Many thanks.
New to this. Lol
Regards
Dean
