Additional info
My aim with the plugin is to create a trigger when the pre roll is played, which will set my light to dim.
Then when the movie start the trigger will turn off the lights.
Then if the movie is paused the trigger sets the lights to dim again.
Then if the movie is stopped the trigger will turn on the lights fully.
unless I’m missing something crucial here I do believe the plugin is behaving incorrectly.
Maybe there is an easier or better way to accomplish this?
As an additional note I’ve seen a YouTube video, link below where a guy edits a “constants” file to fix a similar issue but I can’t find this anywhere, is this related?

Appreciate all assistance and support, even if it’s to say it can’t be done.
Thanks

unless I’m missing something crucial here I do believe the plugin is behaving incorrectly. Maybe there is an easier or better way to accomplish this? As an additional note I’ve seen a YouTube video, link below where a guy edits a “constants” file to fix a similar issue but I can’t find this anywhere, is this related? https://youtu.be/KEe1plcJsek?si=mKO8Qo0zrV-HzcKp
Appreciate all assistance and support, even if it’s to say it can’t be done. Thanks
