snipah Wrote:...how do I reconnect the addon to boblightd after s3? When entering s3 I'm killing boblightd and later restart it on resume...but the script doesn't reconnect.

Before I also startet boblight-X11 with the script and that still works, but I want to use your addon after resume...

This will be fixed in version 1.0.1 (should be there the next days...). Though it can be that after resuming there comes an error message saying "can't connect to boblightd", before it gets a successfull connection ... it depends on how fast the boblightd is up and running after sleep.

...sounds great! Thank you very much!

Btw: Couldn't you implement a switch in addon-config to disable the pop-up-messages? Rolleyes

nope... I definitely like the connect-popup and the first sound (I hear a second when the popup disappears), but I think it's always good to have a choice Big Grin

Thanks a lot for this addon. This makes it so much easier to handle and tune the great boblight-script from within XBMC.

I have some problems getting the addon working properly.

For some reason, during playback, the topleft lights are not running and I also have the feeling that the wrong colors are sent to the other lights. When there is no playback, the constant background light is working correctly (on all leds).

All the lights are properly working when I use boblight-X11 to control them. Therefore boblight.conf is probably correctly configured.

I'm running a nightly build from 4th of november (crystalbuntu distribution). Boblightd is running local and I'm using atmolight as a hardware controller. Here is my xbmc.log

Do you have any suggestions where I could look?

Edit: After updating to a more recent nightly (4 dec 2011) the lights seem to work correct!

I've encountered another problem. When i'm running a video that is software decoded (xvid) the lights every now and then stall for a couple of seconds. Pausing the video directly sets the lights correct to the current scene. I do not see this stalling when I'm running a video that uses hardware acceleration (crystalhd-card).

As I am on a relatively low-powered AppleTV1, this makes me think that the addon somehow cannot keep up when it's displaying software decoded stuff.

Please let me know if you need more info.

yeah might be a lack of cpu issue...

Is there a way to set the priority of addons within XBMC? I guess the addon is not much more cpu intensive than boblight-X11, with which I did not see this issue with sf-decoded media.

in fact it might be a bit more intensive imho ... but this is something bobo1on1 could have a better knowledge off. You could decrease the speed for a first try...

When this addon runs, XBMC reads back videoframes from the gpu via OpenGL, how well this works is dependent on the gpu and the videodriver.

You can try adding this to advancedsettings.xml:

Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <useocclusionquery>0</useocclusionquery>
  </video>
</advancedsettings>

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I tried both the 'slow' and 'fast' settings, and added the lines to advancedsettings.xml but they did not make a difference. One thing I noticed though is that I used to run boblight-X11 with the -x setting (-x use XGetImage instead of XRender) to get a good result.
