[RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon

@Pollisoft

Thanks for the link to the Windows boblightd.exe!

I just built my setup today and thought I would give it a shot. Are there directions somewhere on what to do with the exe file? I've used the boblight configuration program but when I run boblightd.exe I receive:

ERROR: unable to make directory /home/media/.boblight/

opening /etc/boblight.conf: No such file or directory.

Thanks!

Download, look into the start.bat

U will need to start up the daemon like this

C:\boblightd\boblightd.exe -c c:\boblightd\boblight.conf -f

in this case, the boblight,conf file must be availiable in c:\boblighd

-> in addition, there is a tool included to generate a calibrated boblight.conf. Enter "/dev/comX" with X = ur Ambilight Port number or the needed data to generate a file.

hi,

i just installed boblightd on my Raspberry Pi, also i installed XBMC Standalone (and i start it via xbmc-standalone)
in xbmc i downloaded the plugin via online update and it seems to start sucessfully (i get a connection at my boblightd and some light go on shortly)

but when i start a video, LEDs go on very short and then they go off and stay off.

What can i do to get it to work?

tanks!

btw: if i connect from my workstation PC running XBMC to my Raspberry Pi running boblightd, everything is fine

I have EXACTLY the same problem as you Fire, I sent PM to bobo1on1 and he explained me that video playback on raspberry doesn't use GLES so the RenderCapture interface can't grab the frame.
I use raspbmc, I cant post on the raspbmc forum, Varnish send me 503 ...

YES!!!!

finally got it working in windows with Adalight Sweet, runs smoother than Lightpack, and now I can use the lights with TV as well (running ForTheRecord & XBMC client)

thanks for the windows version of boblightd

I am using adalight with 25 LEDs and Arduino UNO R3.
My system is running ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with an intel g45 graphics chip.

I have noticed that the some LEDs tend to flash with the default interval setting in the boblight.conf.
This is very noticeable in movie scenes were parts of the screen are relative dark.
If I reduce the interval to 53333 (<18.75 fps) there is no flashing any more.
Is this an expected behavior? Could this be an hardware or software issue?

Does increasing the threshold fix it?

Not really I have increased the threshold to 75 and there was still flickering.
At the moment the lower FPS (interval) works better for me.

Thanks for your help.

Can't get boblight to run in xbmc. Can someone help me with it.
I use the SEDU board. I installed boblight plugin in xbmc, set the comport, started the boblightd app but nothing happens
xbmc logs shows it is connected, but no changing of colors.

post the xbmc.log to pastebin and put the link here.
