pwmcontrol / LCD backlight scripting
#1
Hi there,

I have a question which is two-sided:
On my SmartXX OPX SE modded xbox (3 channel PWM control onboard, one normally being used for the backlight setting) I noticed that the LCD background setting (PWM-0) kind of overrules the XBMC.system.pwmcontrol.
Therefore I can only set the G and B colors using python

So the first part of my question: is this by design, or is there a way I can ignore the LCD settings and put in a color directly (including the Red channel)?

The second part: If it's not possible to make the pwmcontrol override the display settings, is there a possibility I can alter the 'LCD backlight' using python?

I think it uses guisettings.xml, but I'm definitely not sure if I can change this realtime using python.

If somebody has a clue: I'm eager to hear it Smile

Cheers,

well, I looked into the sourcecode and noticed an inconsistency.

The problem is most likely in the c++ code, so I made another thread on the right forum (I hope)

I still think it would be handy if there is more access to the lcd: something like a built-in command: "lcd.backlight", but that may generate some security issues

To be continued..
