Hey Djelibeybi, have you managed to configure hyperion to *not* be active when in the PHT menus? Ive got it set to be off, in the config but it stays on. I guess PHT is different to XBMC in that regard?
Did any one figure this out in the end?

What in Particular do you need figuring out? If your talking about hyperion being on in the menu's then no I've made no progress with that I'm afraid. :/ It seems that plex removes a lot of the XBMC api functionality that hyperion uses and replaced it with their own api mechanism. Unfortunately I'm not much of a coder so dont see an easy way round this.

Yes, I have. Here's the snipped from my hyperion.config.json file:
"xbmcVideoChecker" :
{
"xbmcAddress" : "127.0.0.1",
"xbmcTcpPort" : 9090,
"grabVideo" : true,
"grabPictures" : true,
"grabAudio" : true,
"grabMenu" : false,
"grabScreensaver" : true,
"enable3DDetection" : true
},
Works For Me(tm). YMMV. :)

The only setting I had different was grab screensaver which was set to off... i will change that and see if it makes a difference.
for everyone who don't want ambilight only for raspberry's: https://forums.plex.tv/topic/86797-ambient-light-boblight-on-pms/
i think the Client/Server solution can make plex work with any TV - not only Client-side, like with the raspberry
Would love to see what is behind this link, but cannot open it due to a permission error (PlexPass-only?).
Would you be so kind to give a short summary of its content? I'm looking for month now how to integrate an ambilight-setting to my Plex experience (raspberry, philips hue, etc.).
Is there any progress implementing ambilight into Plex?

Nothing of any interest, just him asking for boblight to be added to PMS and replying to himself
haha. thats right. but its the topic to this request. so i don't really know what you want from me :)
for anyone who wants to check this out: https://code.google.com/p/boblight/
i know there is obviously no interest in this. but it's not my problem, that people still think Plex is some kind of XBMC. like KodeStar do, when he says "nothing interesting".
The idea behind Plex is to make everything work together , handled by the PMS. Sorry, but i just don't understand the stupidness behind "Live-TV for PHT only" , "ambilight for raspberry only" and so on. this is not even close to the plex way. thats the XBMC way
And Client-side-solutions like this will never be accepted by the main-plex-community. Because the main-community got the idea behind plex. sadly, it seems that these people are not interested in ambilight :)
Its main purpose is to create light effects from an external input, such as a video stream (desktop capture, video player, tv card), an audio stream (jack, alsa), or user input (lirc, http). Currently it only handles video input by desktop capture with xlib, video capture from v4l/v4l2 devices and user input from the commandline with boblight-constant.
Boblight uses a client/server model, where clients are responsible for translating an external input to light data, and boblightd is responsible for translating the light data into commands for external light controllers.
You misunderstand, I'm not saying boblight wouldn't be interesting, you got j_muehlenbrock excited by a post he couldn't see (plexpass only) and I was just informing him he wasn't missing anything, just you requesting a feature but no replies from the devs.
In addition, having that available on PMS would make absolutely no difference to it's availability in rasplex as far as I can see, as there would still need to be an appropriate client on every device you want it on as the client still needs to say "the colour in the top right is red", that information gets sent to PMS, PMS says "in that case led 1 needs to be red", I assume then that gets sent back to the client which forwards it on to the light source controller.
So you are adding in some latency in sending the data backwards and forwards with the only benefit (that I can see) being that low powered devices like the Pi don't need to do all the processing themselves, whereas every other device will be worse off? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
*edit*
Also, when it says it uses a client/server model, I don't think it means it literally, I think what it is saying is there is a boblightd daemon (the server component) that commands get sent to, it can all reside on a single machine though.
Guys,
Can anyone point me in the direction of the tutorials to setup Hyperion with Rasplex?
Cheers,

You can follow this tutorial, it works quite well but my hyperion.config.json is erased from time to time after a reboot of my Raspberry Pi.
Would anyone be so kind as to post their config file? If not, can you give me a heads up on what I need to configure once I've run the install script?

I will grab you my config, but they are dependent on your setup, i.e. how many LED's you have on your strip and their locations etc.
Hi,
I figured it out, I simply need to remove the device location... Works fine now...
Has anybody used a Lightpack with Hyperion? Looks like it should work ok.

Yes, that's what I use. I have a lightpack working with Hyperion on a Rasperry Pi with Rasplex.
Maybe look into Slice? Device based on Raspberry PI (trough Compute Module) with Ambilight build in.. I've heard there will be out of the box rasplex support...
I've finally got my LPD8806 ledstrip working with Rasplex.
I followed this guide: https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/wiki/Installation-on-RPi-with-OpenELEC
