Hyperion setup guide - ambilight-4-mediaportal/AtmoLight GitHub Wiki

Step 1

Install AtmoLight via Mediaportal Extension Manager (1.14.0.0 and up supports Hyperion)

Step 2

Start the Mediaportal Configuration application and setup Atmolight, select AtmoLight and press Config

Step 3

Check Hyperion and open the Hyperion Tab

Step 4

Change the IP address or hostname to match the one of your Raspberry Pi.

Which do I use IP or hostname?

Since AtmoLight 1.15 we added the ability to use the hostname or mDNS hostname of your Raspberry Pi device, the mDNS hostname means that locally your machine can always be reached without having to setup any static IP address or any router config for that matter.

On Windows it requires you to have Apple Bonjour installed:

Apple bonjour

Make sure to disable any Apple software update junk during install as you don't need that if you're only using Bonjour, prevents you from getting update notifications which can be annoying on HTPC machines.

Your mDNS hostname is always formatted with your device hostname like this:

<hostname>.local

For instance your mDNS hostname by default on OpenElec is called "Openelec.local" as its hostname is OpenElec, once the IP for the hostname changes AtmoLight will automatically resolve the new one.

In short the hostname is the recommended setup as it provides the easiest way to connect Hyperion with AtmoLight.
