[RELEASE] Official XBMC boblight Addon
Hi,

There was an ask to have an option to enable boblight only during certain period of time. I have it done a while ago and keep changing code manually after each update. Can you please let me know if I can contribute and if I can how I can do it.

Thank you!

I have been looking everywhere to see if a solution exists, but I am trying to find a ambilight solution for xbmc that works on android stbs. I have a lightpack and prismatik works for android screens and for xbmc menus, but does not work for movies. It appears that boblight is the correct solution for this but currenlty boblight does not work on android. Is there a dev out there that has an interest in taking this on? I would be fully willing to be their tester.

have you tried running boblightd on a linux computer and the boblight addon on android?

No it's an android stb that I am using as media center. I can actually flash it to a linux build, but I would loose the android functionality (youtube, netflix, web browser) that I wanted android for. I was hoping that maybe with the Android arena picking up so much attention that maybe this would be pursued.

I am specifically looking for the ambilight to be hooked up to the android device as the android device is the xbmc machine. I think the android addon just controls the ambilight interface (am I mistaken?).

Do you not have any linux machine you can run boblightd on?

Interestingly enough I just flashed the MyGica ATV520 over to linux. Unfortunately boblightd cannot find the lightpack. I'm trying to figure out if this is an HID problem or a boblightd problem. The linux build is a light linux build that is done specifically for the amlogic dual core chips.

What device is your lightpack?

I have some strange problem with my setup. boblight is correctly setup and i wrote my config.conf file and I can see the light if I play a movie.
But after i shutdown the htpc and restart the boblightd server automatic on the windows boot I get a error.
I solved this by reupload the Ledstream.pde to the arduino uno, but I can´t to this every time I boot the HTPC.
I using Win7.

Memphiz,

Thank you for reply.
I noticed that the current version of boblight addon in xbmc repository is 2.0.8 while the one I got from http://github.com/bobo1on1/script.xbmc.boblight is 2.0.7. Should I still just push in http://github.com/bobo1on1/script.xbmc.boblight and do a pull request from the web or there is something else about I should care about. Of course I tested everything etc.

Is anyone experiencing the following problems I have with some of the settings in Boblight?

The Fast or Slow presets work as expected for everything. However, the only "Custom" setting that seems to work is "Music Videos." If I set TV Shows, Movies or Files to "Custom," the lights remain off, just as if it is set to disabled.

Same thing happens with the Override Used Category setting. If it's set to TV Shows, Movies or Files and the setting is Custom, the lights remain off as if it is disabled. Setting the Override using Musicvideo set to Custom is the only mode that works.

Tested using the latest boblight 2.0.7 and 2.0.8, boblightd (OE version) v3.1.3, OpenELEC 3.4.2
