RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - wolfgr - 2013-03-16

so after a painfull research i did with windows/ubuntu/openelec i found a solution with ''lights stay on'' problem with frodo.Its the script.xbmc.boblight .At least for my case and tests the boblight 1.0.3 addon that works fine with Eden,work fine(without lights on and errors) with frodo,official releases.The boblight addon script that comes from xbmc 12 repository is the problem..So if you have issues with lights on and script crasses try to replace 2.x.x addon with 1.0.3.Install it from xbmc or just replace the script.xbmc.boblight folder at userdata/addons and restart will do the trick.

warning:after that turn off the addons auto update and obviusly dont update bob light addon Smile

Ok fine.
Maybe it's useful, i updated to latest nightly and it seems to be working again.

Maybe some code bug in XBMC itself ?

Yeah it is in XBMC (addon itself didn't change as you might have noticed...). Its the code generated python bindings and there are still alot of bugfixes streaming in for that which at one point might break an addon to fix another and vice versa Wink


RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - MrMario64 - 2013-03-25

I have an issue with Boblight when used together with Cinema Experience.

When using CE, boblight is not working, not for any movie I play nor trailers.
When using a trailers plugin boblight is working fine
When using the playlist manually, boblight is also working fine.
But when using CE, boblight does not work, also CPU usage goes up.
This only in Frodo, when using Eden all is working fine.

I asked about this in the CE thread including a debug log but the dev from CE can't see anything wrong.
Here is a link to the start of my short discussion there.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=87563&pid=1376164#pid1376164

I can understand that it's hard for him to debug without having an actual bob light setup, I was hoping a dev that has boblight could perhaps try CE and help what tracking this issue.

Thanks in advance for your effort

Hi,

I have switched my working setup from momo (3 LED channels) to ws2801 (50 LED channels). But unfortunately the boblightd exe I have for windows is old and does not support ws2801.

Has anybody been able to make this setup work? (XBMC for Windows + Boblight + Arduino + WS2801)

Cheers!

RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - TeKo - 2013-03-26

the path should be:

c:\boblightd\boblightd.exe

If you want to put the folder somewhere else you have to manually edit the .bat.

RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - Antscran - 2013-03-27

Hi,

Looking at porting the Arduino code for the Boblight over to the MSP430 range of microcontrollers, trying to find more information on the USB/Serial interface used between the Boblight and the Arduino. Is there more detail on this somewhere?

Cheers,

Ant
