RaspBMC and Boblight

I've just gotten my shipment from lightpack.tv and really can't wait to use it. I've walked through all the settings I can get my hands on to get this thing setup and can't figure it out. I'm having issues with my boblight.conf file. Some I see use Ruby, Python, and some don't use any at all.

I've followed these guides:

http://ajpawelski.wordpress.com/how-to-r...lightpack/

and

http://pibob.nadnerb.co.uk/software.html

But if I have Ruby or Python I get errors about path not being there. I was looking at these conf files for that (https://github.com/jaaps/boblight.lightp...onf.sample)

If I don't then I get this error "ERROR: /etc/boblight.conf line 9: boblightd was built without libusb, no support for lightpack devices" Below is the start of my code as well.

Code:
[global]
interface 127.0.0.1
port      19333

[device]
name        device1
channels    30
type        lightpack
interval    20000
serial      95230303231351D04132

[color]
name red
rgb FF0000
gamma 1.6
adjust 1.0

[color]
name grn
rgb 00FF00
gamma 1.6
adjust 1.0

[color]
name blu

adjust 1.0

[light]
name L01
color red LP1 1
color grn LP1 2
color blu LP1 3
hscan 80 100
vscan 0 50

I'm going to attempt a boblight.conf builder tomorrow. But any help would be awesome people!

thanks!

This is nothing I know much about, but have you looked into Hyperion?

I will try Hyperion later today.

From last night I made some changes and realized boblight is now built into RASPBMC now. So I enabled it and got my conf from above and I'm getting the following:

(CDeviceLightpack::SetupDevice) ERROR: LP1: no Lightpack device with vid 03eb and pid 204f found
(CDevice:Tonguerocess) ERROR: LP1: setting up failed, retrying in 10 seconds

Ok, so hyperion! SOOOO much more easy! Only problem is that only half of my light pack is working. I have two of them and tried both, one is just showing as half the LED's working. Could be something with the device itself. My next question would be has anyone got any idea's to get two light packs working at once? Below is my config file I've uploaded.
