I can run my script as root after boot and it works like a charm: Quote:#!/bin/sh but this does not work in the rc.local. Maybe because XServer is not started up or something else, maybe the usb device is not initialized. What can i co? Thx bob - muggi - 2011-06-14 Hi, first @Krautmaster.... ist das dein Youtube Video?

With this files, its possible to autostart boblight AND turn off/on boblight before and after sleep PC? Thanks for your work muggi. Regards. - muggi - 2011-06-16 Hi The Problem is to autoststsrt boblight-x11... Because the x- server, needed for boblight-x11, Starts After all Boot Prozesses. The scripts will start and stop boblightd and boblight-x11. With the executor Plugin you can Start the scripts in the xbmc GUI And with the keymap you can Start it with the Remote.... Greetz - boulala - 2011-07-06 hy Thanks for that great post. Got it smoothly working on my XBMC Live installation. But i have a question. Is it possible to achieve the same functionality on an Apple TV 2G? I tried it but couldn't load all the dependencies and i'm kind of a linux n00b. greetz - muggi - 2011-07-06 boulala Wrote:hy i think it is not possible... ATV2 is with ios, no linux, and the microusb is not for hosting devices.... - boulala - 2011-07-06 muggi Wrote:i think it is not possible...

Im getting this error: No protocol specified ERROR: Can't open display :0.0 when i try to run boblight-X11. Before it was: Can't open display (null) and i try this: export DISPLAY=:0.0, but no luck. Can somebody help me with this? My graphics card is Asus Geforce 7600GT. Thanks!I solve this problem. Like I said before, I used these instructions. When i installed ubuntu it ask to create user and again another user before xbmc is about to install. So i have two user names, admin and xbmc. When i login as admin and run boblighd, it starts and working just fine. Then i have to login with xbmc account and run "export DISPLAY=:0.0" and boblight-X11, and everything works. But if i try to run boblight-X11 with admin account, it wont work. It says "Can't open display". And if i try run boblighd with xbmc account it came up with some error. Now i started to think that if i install ubuntu with same user (xbmc), would all works with same username... - darkscout - 2011-08-19 boulala Wrote:damn you apple. thanks for the quick reply. guess i have to wait until someone ports the whole thing to ios Um... and magically changes the hardware that comes with ATV2. There is NO way to hook it up. None. - bobo1on1 - 2011-08-19 darkscout Wrote:Um... and magically changes the hardware that comes with ATV2. There is NO way to hook it up. None. Well, boblight works over tcp, you could run a boblight client on the atv2 and boblightd on a different machine with usb and make it work. The question then is, is the atv fast enough to read gpu data into system mem and keep normal video rendering going. - AlphaDog - 2011-09-29 I'm trying to get this to work on Fedora 14. After some afternoons of cursing, yelling and throwing, I managed to get everything installed, configured and compiled. But, it still won't work. It looks to me like combustd can't find the amBX device. When I connect the wallthing with USB, it starts flashing non-stop, so its working. Here's the output of #boblightd Code: Starting popen daemon on ruby /usr/local/combustd/applications/boblight/boblight.rb dmesg gives a lot of output with Philips amBX in it, but its not listed on lsusb. I'm out of idea's, any suggestions? - liamf - 2011-11-14 So this all looks really nice, but I can't find any amBX lighting for sale, anywhere. Is it possible to find these any more? Are there any equivalents available? Thx liam Mines for sale - Mike34 - 2012-02-15 liamf Wrote:So this all looks really nice, but I can't find any amBX lighting for sale, anywhere. I am having to sell mine as new tv is mounted on the wall, i am going to have a go at building a flat version to fit in the 15mm gap now if anyone from here wins it i'll knock 10% off final price http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120860974669 Great guide by the way it worked really well with mine, hope the homemade version works as well as it really adds more depth to the movies. |
