BlinkStick Client 2.0 crashes with AmbiLight

I´ve tried with a BlinkStick Pro in Inverse Mode on Win10. Playing with manual colors or patterns works as expected. If I´m adding an AmbiLight notification BlinkStick Client crashes but there´s no hint in the logs.
When I´m restarting BlinkStick Client and try to delete this notification it crashes after the confirmation dialog, so there is no way to delete this notification anymore.

Just released an update for the application that should fix this issue. Can you please install the updated RC2 and LMK if it works for you?

No, sorry. :pensive: Cannot edit, cannot delete. BlinkStick Client hangs and stays in the processes after closing.

Can you please send me the logs to info@blinkstick.com?

Also tried to delete all the settings and reinstall the BS Client, but still no luck :confused:

Hi everybody,

Up this post because i get my stick ( Binkstick pro ) since 2 days.
I wanted to mount it on a Ikea Dioder.
Some welding and launch the beast on my home media center.
At first tested with 1.0.1 application.

Some remarks about 1.0.1 :

  • Everything working excepted ambilight

So i installed 2.0 sofware :

  • All as said upper by p0ke, when you want to switch by desactivating in check case from mood to ambi, software freeze and all light shut down + software freeze

  • If you force sofware closing, process still runing, and you can launch and get runing more than one at the same time

Hey,

it´s a known error which is already in progress.

Hi, nice :smile:

But did you really done it work in ambilight mode with 1.0.3 software ??

Where can i get 1.0.3 version ?

Please waiting for your answer.

Sincerely

Here is the last Version 1.0 I can find. In this version Ambilight working well.

Ok i tried again 1.0.1, and after windows bsod … finally it works fine, thank you :smile:

Work fine under VLC or Wmplayer, really great.

But it shut down under Xbmc/Kody.

Any idea ?

Sincerely

My statement on this is, that Kodi uses (as far as I know) DirectX and Ambilight in BlinkStick Client 1.0.1. does not work with DirectX. DirectX support is part of BlinkStick Client 2.0, but Ambilight is still broken there. So we have to wait patiently :smile:

Maybe it will work with Kodi´s Boblight AddIn, but I have no experiences there :confused:

Hi! I’m still experiencing crashes on 2.0 with Ambilight and it seems to be because of my high resolution display. I tested at 1080p and the crashes stopped. Is there a way to run Ambilight in low resolution (rather low sampling) mode?
