Hello,
I am very new to Kodi and I am trying to solve a problem with a script developed by someone else.
Please go easy on me, this is my first post here 
The script.kodi.hue.ambilight https://github.com/koying/script.kodi.hue.ambilight. I tried develop, master and release 0.8.b2 with the same problem.
The script is supposed to control philips hue lights based on the content of the video stream.
The pairing with the philips hue hub works very well, and it recognizes my hub and lamps.
But whenever I start a movie, the add-on report “an error has occured”. I have 3 complete logs i can make available. In all three I can see the exact same error:
20:59:41 T:1598018464 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

I have zero knowledge of python, and I would appriciate some hints.
The source code lines referred by the log are for the first error:
...
capture_width = 32 #100
capture_height = capture_width / capture.getAspectRatio()
if capture_height == 0:
capture_height = capture_width #fix for divide by zero.
logger.[url=http://kodi.wiki/index.php?title=Log_file]Debug Log[/url]("capture %s x %s" % (capture_width, capture_height))
capture.capture(int(capture_width), int(capture_height), xbmc.CAPTURE_FLAG_CONTINUOUS)
...
And for the second error:
...
if player.playingvideo: # only if there's actually video
try:
if capture.waitForCaptureStateChangeEvent(200):
#we've got a capture event
if capture.getCaptureState() == xbmc.CAPTURE_STATE_DONE:
screen = Screenshot(capture.getImage(), capture.getWidth(), capture.getHeight())
hsvRatios = screen.spectrum_hsv(screen.pixels, screen.capture_width, screen.capture_height)
if hue.settings.light == 0:
fade_light_hsv(hue.light, hsvRatios[0])
else:
fade_light_hsv(hue.light[0], hsvRatios[0])
if hue.settings.light > 1:
#xbmc.sleep(4) #why?
fade_light_hsv(hue.light[1], hsvRatios[1])
if hue.settings.light > 2:
#xbmc.sleep(4) #why?
fade_light_hsv(hue.light[2], hsvRatios[2])
...
I hope some one can point me in the right direction
Thanks
