Title: Adjusting P10 brightness on the fly...
Post by: dwbarnett on November 02, 2018, 04:18:47 AM

Ok, here is what I would like to accomplish if possible.  Caveat: At this time I am not using Xschedule this year.

I have some video I'll be running on my P10 128x96. I know I'll need to adjust the brightness/gama as the videos play, otherwise too bright and washed out.  However, there are also parts of the music that play effects on the P10's so I need them brighter again.

Also, On my Tune To sign, When my songlist is not playing, I would like to have the brightness around 60% to be easily seen. When the song starts I want to dim the sign down to around 10-20% so it is not overriding the surround effects.   I'm sure I could go through and create a separate seq. for the Tune to, but could there be an easier way to accomplish this goal. Same with "On the fly" adjustment of the P10's if possible.

Thanks,
David

Currently no.  Adjusting the panel brightness on both BBB and Pi would require a restart of FPPD.

Hi Dan, so I guess I need to figure out how to accomplish this goal with in Xlights.

Thanks for your response.
Best,
David
