Dual AmbiLight setup - profiles #622

Is there a way to assign the complete device configuration to a specific profile?

I have my PC hooked up to my monitor and to my TV. Both are equipped with AmbiLight LEDs with different LED numbers and separate USB connections. Ive noticed that the profiles in the Prismark software do not save information like COM port, Number of LEDs and their setup... etc.
Is there a way to create a profile that would save that information so that Im able to switch between the monitor and TV LEDs depending which one I`m using at the moment?

Now the only way I see is to go through the hole configuration wizzard and change everything when I switch from one screen to the other.

thank you in advance.

For now I've solved it by using two separate apps.
Ambibox and prismatic

it's probably doable via script that would

  • kill prismatik
  • backup current config
  • restore the config for the other screen
  • start prismatik again

or maybe slightly simpler, with a little known feature: the portable mode (@JulianH3M might interest you)

  • you can copy your prismatik install folder somewhere else (the one with the .exe)
  • create an empty main.conf inside that copy
  • start the .exe, it would initialize the config and profiles in that folder
  • run the wizzard from within prismatik to do the config (or overwrite the new files with your own if you have those)

now you have 2 instances with each their own setup, not sure how it would perform while both are capturing, but you could stop one or switch off or use lamp mode if it's too much
