I was wondering if it was possible to use the boblight addon with an atv2? Anyone have this setup?

Not yet. We have issues with the ctypes python modul (doesn't build for ios yet) which is needed by boblight addon. Though we are not sure if the OpenGLES hardware is fast enough to downscale the image to the 32x32 pixel image which is needed for boblight.
But i'm looking forward to this too - though i don't really expect it to be usable out of performance...

The biggest problem with performance is that there's no asynchronous way of reading back the gpu data on the atv2, you render the video into a 32x32 pixels image, and when you read it back you're stalling the cpu waiting for the gpu to finish doing everything it was told to do.

no. 11.0-4 is "only" Eden but official built from us and supporting iOS5.1. Nothing new there - move along.

thx Memphiz.
Is there anyway to get a (inofficial) build anywhere with the ctypes fix? (I can't compile it myself due the lack of a mac)

Great, I didn't see that the nightlys are alive again.
Now i got atv2 xbmc boblight running with a enigma based reciever and a sedu light.
(Semi)Perfect, cause I've to change the capture_width and height to 8x8 to get the lights changing in realtime.
But i've solved my main problem, now - "A working boblight with atv2"
thnx again, memphiz!
