Multiple profiles switcher ? Translation ? New .exe ?

[morgeek]

Hello,
First of all thank you for the work ! I use it everyday and it is great !

Would it be possible to change adrilight settings on the fly and having multiple profiles depending on the app used ?
Sometimes movies have black bar on top and bottom, I can trick the video and display it as full but the image is distorted and therefore the top and bottom are pretty much useless, the bottom bar do work when subtitles are present of course.
The effect is simply on the left and right sides.

Do you plan on translating your software ?

When do you think you'll have time to release a new version (besides compiling it) with the new features ?

Regards,

Thanks!

I know the problem with black bars very well. You can try to adjust Border Distance Y in this case. My personal preference is to haven the top and bottom leds black in case there is a movie running with black bars. everything else is unnatural to me in a sense that the black bar itself is still there and then there is light around it. At least you can play with it right now.

I am working on a big update right now with a completely new user interface. When this is done, translating could be a next todo point. What translations could you provide?

multi profile and profile switching is not on my todo list, what is your use case for that?

Hello,
After playing with the Y distance, it does feel weird to have lights above the black bars. Valid point.

Multiple profiles would have been useful if we wanted to switch from one configuration to another.
Profile 1 adjusted to video (instead of black bars).
Profile 2 Adjusted to screen edges for gaming.

Or else
Profile 1 with 50% light intensity for night time maybe.
Profile 2 Normal intensity

Just a thought.

I know it could be a hassle to code, so do not bother if you do not think such a feature could be useful to the mass, there is no point in dev a feature for one user.
Your software is working perfectly for my use.

The new look, much modern.
I tried to compile your software but I lack knowledge to do it right and do not have enough time to
understand what I've done wrong. I can generate the .exe but it looks uncomplete.

I could provide French translation for the software.

I'm Using WS8211 LED with few Arduino code adjustments. I have 186 LED around my 48" screen.

@fabsenet : We love your project! :) Hit me up for german translation if needed. 👍

Mit deutsch komme ich alleine sehr gut zurecht ✅ 😃

I second the request for multiple profiles. I'd make a profile for fullscreen video, and a profile for letterboxed video. I suggest switching profiles by clicking the system tray icon.

If you need help translating to Dutch, you can count me in!

Thanks for sharing your work by the way!
