If you have the TV mounted right against the wall then the room for the light to reflect is smaller, creating a smaller ambiance effect. My TV is on a TV stand and there's probably about a foot of space between the TV and the wall. I'd say do it yourself because it's a nice little project to work on, but if soldering isn't your thing then it might be best to get the kit (might be worth checking if soldering is also required with the lightberry) Yeah i figured the tv distance would play a huge part in it, but wonder if it was also a setting. I am 99% sure the Lightberry is just plug and play now (bar settings files on the RP), so i think it is probably the better option for an anti-DIY person like myself. Cheers for your continued help.

They are about 18 months old now and know where near as smart as yours. This pic was taken Christmas 2014 as you can see they are very basic compared with yours.

Chewie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 So @PieFacE , i got the Lightberry and have it all set up. I was wondering if a) You could let me know the URL to the video you used a test on your TV, and b ) if you'd mind letting me take a look at your hyperion config file? I'm about 90% happy with the result, have been playing with the config file but just can't get everything quite right. Cheers buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) So I spent a couple of hours last night calibrating everything up on my Lightberry install... Game of Thrones intro, Stargate Atlantis gate travel, and House of Flying daggers captures are on the playlist page.

I find the best things to test it out on are kids movie trailers such as Minions or Toy Story, things with lots of colours! Here's the video I used if you wish to use it too...

lapal_fan Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I want one of these. How much, how can I do it? Is it a kit or do you buy everything separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
