ok, now I understand how to manually start it, but i want ambilight to only be active during movies. For other kodi features, I want them to be turned of.
I’ve checked hyperion.power script, it looks like I need to send SIGUSR1 to turn off and SIGUSR2 to turn on, but when I do, the lights still stays on (but no refresh) and it looks like hyperion is actually restarting (rainbow swirl)
