Bobo1on1: Do you plan to integrate into the boblight feature like MoodLamp (Backlight) in Lightpack has. Basically it is backlight like constant the only difference is that it is constantly changing colours and can also change the speed of colour switching.

can anyone lead me or send me what software i need to make it work? I dont have any coding/editing skills so i will be gratefull to keep things simple enough for my old gray hair head :-)
You need a boblight daemon to run on your windows machine on the background, with the proper boblight.conf for the deamon. The addon in XBMC and your done!
I've searched a lot and found this daemon to run on windows 7. Run the daemon : boblightd.exe -c %location of the boblight.conf%
You need to edit the boblight.conf according to your setup

Hi,
I don't know if anything is changed for the Windows vesion, but here is the latest one, r228: http://www.4shared.com/rar/O2l9RyF2/boblight_win_r228.html
RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - bobo1on1 - 2012-04-29 01:11
That can't be right, r228 is over two years old, maybe it's r428?
RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - wolfgr - 2012-04-29 16:01
r428 is the latest source i put at my mega and works superb, many thanx to the developers.
l run boblightd r416 that draven187 told me at win7 by running a shortcut with -c boblight. conf command. Is there a way to run it to the background as a servise or something?
sorry for the offtopic, thanx.

Hello,
I have a few questions.
If I need me a AtmoLight I buy just about Boblight XBMC install and run AtmoLight? Can anyone add information.
I have a Xtreamer Ultra with Ubuntu, and Windows 7 OpenELEC
I would of course continue to use OpenELEC.
The question then: My colleague has a MacMini built in 2011. Can he use the addon Ambilight or so?
Thank for info

@smajor, i thought i mentioned it before but i'm unsure.
I was calculating again some led positions and noticed the following, 10 and 11 are overlapping.
Just to let you know.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "%PATH%\%BATCHFILE%" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing
Replace the "%PATH%\%BATCHFILE%" with yours and leave the "
If you are a bit handy you can use RunAsService or build one your own.

The BobLight addon is platform independent, the daemon must be run on a Linux distro or use the Cygwin version in my post above for windows.
