Feature Request: Colour based on Poster Art #15

Open vderaa opened 1 year ago

vderaa commented 1 year ago

Hey!

Looking to switch from LIFX to Hue now they've ceased trading in the UK.

For my LIFX lights, I use a script found here which can set the lights to a colour based on the average/dominant colour on the poster for the movie/show I'm watching.

I would love to see this included in your offering; would this be possible?

Many Thanks!

I took a look at the script and I believe this something that is doable. Since HuePlex is already pulling a webhook packet from the Plex server and I believe that packet contains the URL to the poster art, obtaining the poster shouldn't be a problem. It also looks like that script is using a library called Color Thief, which is what is used to grab the color pallet from the poster art. I just checked and there is a version of that library for Javascript/Node, so duplicating what they did probably wouldn't be that tough.

For the web interface, I'm currently strictly using Hue scenes as the selections for the play/pause/start/stop actions, but I could add a selection called Poster. I would also need to add an additional parameter when Poster is selected to adjust the brightness of the lights since that is usually taken care of in the Hue scenes.

I can add this to my feature task list and see if I can fit it in to the next feature update.
