MaxLights crashes when uploading from Web UI

[MrChubbs]

When trying to save my diagram with Screen Capture in the Web UI the MaxLights app force closes without saving the diagram. This has been attempted on multiple lights (Lifx A9 and Lifx Lightstrip 120")

Judging from " FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'SharpDX.DXGI", looks like it's having difficulty finding SharpDX.DXGI.dll which should live in the same folder as the main MaxLights.exe file. Might be worth re-extracting the release zip file again in case that particular binary is somehow corrupt... Let me know how you get on...

Hi,

I want to use this for the Ambiilight feature but I'm curious how I set it up so it captures a portion of the screen colour but always displays the colour at 100% brightness. It captures colour well at the moment but the brightness is always changing and is usually very low.

Thanks.
