Hi guys,
I just finished setting up Boblight with my Lightpack (from lightpack.tv) on XBMCbuntu (Gotham release build). As a complete linux noob it took me quite a while. I got instructions from multiple sources, so I decided to write my own little tutorial and merge them all together so all the info is in one place. Hopefully this'll help some people down the road

Wouldn't the xbmc wiki be the logical place for that tutorial?

It's called lightpack not lightbox. Reading through it now

Have search/Google'd but can't find any good resources:
Has anyone setup the boblightd client on a separate/dedicated machine?
My boblight setup: WS2801 LEDs + Teensy Arduino and Zotac HTPC.
My scenario: my AV receiver & HTPC are in a separate room from the TV. I only have spare network connections in both rooms and would like to run XBMC on the HTPC [required for lossless audio] and the boblight client on a separate (network-connected) machine by the TV.
I'm looking at either running RaspBMC and just using it for the client or trying a lightweight install of Arch Linux and figuring out the boblight client install on the Raspberry Pi.
Any other options/methods?

I too have a lightpack..but i am using MX2 box (http://matricom.net/products/g-box-midnight-mx2/). It comes with Android+XBMC. But the community have developed its own XBMC version (openelec). It will be great if you can guide me on making lightpack work with this box. I used the prismatik apk+android but there is a problem as prismatik will do ambi light only if the video is played using SW decoding, which is not possible with HD movies as its resource hungry.

Hi Bluechip,
I put it on Raspbian and it works very good:

guys is there a way to map a key from my windows pc remote,to enable/disable Boblight?or even to bring addon setings like b\B key from keyboard does.
2014-07-10, 22:03
Map a key to 'b'
2014-07-10, 22:10
since it is not possible to have lights during audio playback
would it be possible to create that when xbmc plays music, the boblight addon randomly changes colors to the beat of the music. or to some preset colors
the bobdroid android app can do this

You can start stop it with a remote or keyboard using a jsonrpc command, see
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1624387
See here for creating a toggle script to switch between on and off (its for audio but same principal)

What OS are you using? You can have bovlight during music playback with Linux via boblight-X11
