Hi demmax2004.
Nice work on Ambibox !

Is there a way to manually add the application path on the apps profiles ?
The target system is'nt working with my Zune Player > I created a "music" profile, but Ambibox don't detect Zune app when I launch it, so I have to manually launch the "music" profile.

A "back to default profile" option when there is no app of the list profile actually runing can be really cool to. :D

Thanks !

A "back to default profile" option when there is no app of the list profile

Run AmbiBox - selected "Video 16:9" profile.
Run XMBC player - selected "Video XBMC" profile.
Run Aimp music player - selected "Colormusic" profile.
Alt+Tab select Word - Aimp not active window, selected "Video 16:9" profile ???

Ahhh I'm sorry, English is'nt my 1st language, i can't get what you mean.

Do I have to select "desktop" with the cross target, and select the "default" profile for it, or something like that ?

Well, I don't understand really well how Ambibox and PlayClaw works. I was trying to test profile switching with Minecraft on the "game profile" and the desktop with the "default profile", but now, I can't have ambilight working on Minecraft again. Deleted the profiles > same problem.
It's hard to have something to work with this Adalight. Maybe my Windows 8 is not nice for this... :/
> NVM, it works now, I just restarted all the stuff.

I tried > when I quit Minecraft, Ambibox don't switch to the "Default" profile, it just stays on the last profile loaded.

PlayClaw not support capture desktop in Windows 8.
I am waiting when this feature will appear.

P.S. Windows 8 Image

I'm not using desktop capture on my "default" profile (the desktop capture is creepy low in fps on the desktop when I use Ambibox/Prismatik/Processing, seems it's because of W8 ?), just the "Static Background" mode, which work nicely and is not impacting the desktop fps. ;)

The only problem is that the application don't want to go back on this default profile automatically. :s

Nice !

Is the desktop capture mode is less crappy on W7 than W8 ? I asked some things about this right here > viewtopic.php?f=47&t=36759

I do not have windows 8, I can not compare the OS, but the developer PlayClaw said that Windows 8 is not very good in this regard.

Have you tried the Zune software with the cross target of Ambibox ? Is it working ?

PlayClaw captures Zune (works very well).
AmbiBox works on automatic profiles, but in some situations it fails.

Thanks for your answer.

Yay, Playclaw works with capture on Zune, I already tried, it's OK on this.

I want to put a Zune profile on Ambibox with a "color music" mode, an not a "PlayClaw" capture.
But when I take the cross-target of Ambibox to detect the Zune window, it don't recognize it well, and the profile don't load when I launch Zune.
The Zune Window is detected as "UIX Render Window" and the application path stay blank.
