[RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon

bleze · 2011-12-19 22:04

Memphiz, thank you for helping out. Yes XBMC and boblightd both running on aTV. boblight-constant works.

XBMC log: http://pastebin.com/cUxv4ntR
boblight.rb: http://pastebin.com/rMfA6hj1
boblight.conf: http://pastebin.com/7rWkC2zx

Kode, I think the addon talks to boblight daemon and does not know or need to know combustd in any way. boblightd talks to combustd which clearly works as boblight-constant makes the leds light up.

yep ... it talks directly to boblightd ... if boblight-constant works - the addon should work too.

Everything is looking ok in the xbmc.log ... beside that it just can't connect. You could try to alter your boblight.conf

Code:

[global]

#interface      127.0.0.1

port            19333

See the commented (prefixed by "#") interface. This will make boblight listen on all interfaces. After that use the network IP of your aTV instead of 127.0.0.1 for trying to connect.

If its still failing please post the output of

Code:

netstat -n | grep 19333

Ok I've commented out the interface line of the conf file and restarted boblightd.

Changed IP to the IP of my aTV in the addon settings. Disabled and enabled addon.

It still cannot connect...

Code:

netstat -n | grep 19333

outputs nothing... wierd that boblight-constant works when nothing else can connect to the port.

I can set you up with SSH access to my aTV if you want to snoop around? Thanks

if that command doesn't output something then the boblightd daemon is not listening on port 19333 ... i'm already of the pc ... so no digging ... maybe you meet me on irc sometime (#xbmc-ios in freenode irc)

But how does this explain that boblight-constant works fine or rather what is the difference between addon and boblight-constant that results in this behavior?

I will try to meet you on IRC if you're online to night...

If anyone is listening, Memphiz helped me getting running. So Crystalbuntu with combustd, boblightd from svn and the addon works great.
Thanks again to Memphiz!

You're using the old boblightd, the addon is not compatible with that version.

yep ... that was the issue i've fixed on his side Wink

. So for the not so good reading people. The addon is still not compatible to the old boblightd - and won't be ever Wink

In my defense I had read that I needed a newer version and I had checked it out and built it. Problem was that it was still booting the old version which I thought had been overwritten but was in another folder. If a version number or something had been output to the console when starting the daemon or boblight-constant I would probably have noticed this Smile

my statement was not for you ... but for people which read the "i fixed it" in my statement and think some sort of "ohh cool ... addon works with old boblightd now" ... Wink
