RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - sualfred - 2013-11-13 Does anybody of you know where I can find Boblight for Windows with Lightpack support? Did not find any compiled package. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - TeKo - 2013-11-13 This version has lightpack support. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - sualfred - 2013-11-13 Really? Damn ^^ Ok I will give it a try. Thank you RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - TeKo - 2013-11-13 https://code.google.com/p/boblight/source/browse/trunk/conf/lightpack.conf?spec=svn473&r=473 This is the example config from the google code page. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - sualfred - 2013-11-13 Thx, Just tested it here in the office without a lightpack attached. The example config gives me a error with unknown lights or somethin. Will try to get it working at home. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - ijourneaux - 2013-12-23 This is probably the better thread to post to: I tried to delte the poswt on the other thread but couldn't do it. ----------- I have been struggling to get boblightd to work in in system. I beleie I was able to create a correct boblight.conf file using BoblightConfigTool.exe With the config file setup XBMC connects to boblightd and I get the light flashes but I still don't get any lighting effect when watching a movie Here is the boblight output c:\boblightd>C:\boblightd\boblightd.exe -c c:\boblightd\boblight.conf ERROR: unable to make directory /home/Ian/.boblight/: No such file or directory (PrintFlags) starting /boblightd/boblightd -c c:\boblightd\bo blight.conf (CConfig::LoadConfigFromFile) opening c:\boblightd\boblight.conf cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: c:\boblightd\boblight.conf Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /boblightd/boblight.conf CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.

I see only Adalight as Device in boblightconfigcreator. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - TeKo - 2013-12-25 Isnt every lightpack the same? https://code.google.com/p/boblight/source/browse/trunk/conf/lightpack.conf?spec=svn473&r=473 thats the example file from the boblight page. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - Oxize - 2013-12-27 That one doesnt work. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - ijourneaux - 2013-12-27 I finally got boblight to work on my computer. More magic and tenacity than I would have liked but it is working. I noticed that the colors are not quite what they should be. Is there a way to optimze the colors? RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - Oxize - 2013-12-29 I give up. I made an config file, but i cant get boblightd started. Would be nice if we could start the deamon from the windows services console, and not being configured through dos prompt. I know alot from dos, but the boblightd commands dont make any sense to me. In the start.bat it does (clearing?) something with the com port. Code: MODE COM3:9600,N,8,1 >NUL For the boblight.cnf i have this: Code: [global] The error output Code: C:\boblightd>start.bat When i run start.bat a few command likes running and clear arent recognized by windows, and the boblightd deamon dont get started. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - TeKo - 2013-12-29 You can pretty much remove all of that. You only need the commands when using an Adalight so boblight can use the com port but I dont think you have to do this with Lightpack. In your conf channels should be 30 and not 3. Everything else looks ok. You can just shedule a task (Win 7 - 8,1) C:\boblightd\boblightd.exe and as parameter; -c c:\boblightd\boblight.conf -f works great for me just set it to start at system start. RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - Oxize - 2013-12-29 Getting an error: "boblightd.exe is not a valid Win32 application ". Edit: Checked the file. It was 0kb. Deleted all files within the directory and upacked boblightd.zip again and tried again with my config through dos prompt without the -f option. Then i get this: Maybe i got a wrong boblightd version? RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - soder - 2014-01-22 [remove post] RE: HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC - EgYpT - 2014-01-25 Hi guys, I need to know one simple thing: is this boblight add-on (and boblight in general) fundamental to use an adalight system on XBMC? I want to follow step by step the famous guide of adalight (the adafruit's guide), but there's no mention of boblight (except in "advanced topics" section) because they use Processing IDE instead of boblight. Is the adalight system working on XBMC with the Processing IDE setting instead of boblight? Thanks! |
