RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - comabanana - 2015-02-08

hello guys I'm Newby here and I have one questions
- does any one have experience with this setup
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251610892055 and if it's working on Android xbmc?


RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - bob808 - 2015-02-10

Can anyone help me understand why my config doesn't work. I had boblight working great in windows with an arduino uno setup and a 50 light config.

I then moved to openelec and installed the boblight daemon and addon. With the sample config half of my lights come on. I changed the channels in the example conf to 150 from 75, and also the prefix to 41 64 61 00 31 64 to match what I had in my working windows config. This still worked with half the lights, so I then turned my attention to the [light] settings...

This is what I have put in from my windows .conf file - but with this boblightd doesn't start properly and the addon cant connect to it. The working config from the example is underneath. I assume that openelec doesn't like the vscan or hscan values that my windows conf used - can anyone help me understand that I need to do to fix?

the below works, but doesn't have enough lights and I cant vouch for the spacing until its working either. I am only showing the first 3 lights as an example but if you need the whole lot just let me know.

RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - Memphiz - 2015-02-10

What is the error message when boblightd fails to start?

On my HTC One, where I have root, the boblight plugin installed and worked right away. In the /data/data/org.xbmc.kodi/lib folder were a lot of other Kodi related files, so getting files there is possible. Just not afterwards, which sucks, if one does not have root.

I just had to find out, that XBMC Boblight installs just fine when using Kodi. I was using Gotham before (didn't mention it), since I always prefer eyecandy and the NEON skin just delivered that but Titan Mediabrowser Skin is also awesome. So Kodi on FireTV with XBMC Boblight Plugin just works fine.

I've managed to get boblight working on my RPi2 with openelec and everything is fine except when the colour yellow is displayed I get a red from the LEDs - does anyone have any advice on how to solve this, or how to change my conf file? Here is the important part of my conf file.

RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - Memphiz - 2015-02-16

remove yellow and white definitions - they will be mixed from rgb ... or dou you have some special sort of rgbyw leds? ^^

Definitely not some rgbyw leds! However I added this to see if additional definitions would help (that was some of the ideas I came across when looking on the internet). Without the Y/W definitions I still get red when there is yellow on screen - any other ideas on how to change that?

Please post your Full config to pastebin and put a link to it in here...


RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - dr.delphi - 2015-02-17

Thanks for looking at this Memphiz, here is the pastebin of the boblight.conf file

http://pastebin.com/P0J1pLuN


RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - Memphiz - 2015-02-17

well i think that red should be ff0000, green should be 00ff00 and blue should be 0000ff its called RGB afterall not RBG beside that i would say that file looks ok. I have no experience with lightpack - so not much of a help i think.

Can anyone explain why i have such an annoying icon keep blinking at the top of GUI, is it from boblight (looks like) or maybe from hyperion?


RE: [RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon - teeedubb - 2015-02-18

Your RPI power supply is inadequate.

@teeedubb is right, rainbow square is a Raspberry Pi warning for low voltage, have a look here for detailed explanation: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=82373

You need to select the "custom" preset for beeing able to specify custom options. *facepalm*
