Win HOW-TO setup Boblight for Windows and Boblight XBMC
Update on where I'm at with mine. I'm finding boblight runs a lot better, but doesn't seem to be picking up the colors from scenes as well as prismatik was. For example, some dark scenes are displaying with a bright orange sort colored backlight, which is very distracting. I hope a lot of this can be fixed with the boblight xbmc add-on's custom configuration, but I haven't had much of a chance to play around with the settings in that yet. Anyone have any recommended settings for those?

Edit: Just been playing around with these setting now. Bringing down the saturation in the add-on configuration makes a big difference. I've set it as 1 in my custom configuration (default for fast and slow is 3) and the colours are much better now.
Current settings I'm working with are:
Speed - 50
Autospeed - 0
Interpolation - off
Saturation - 1
Value - 10
Threshold - 10

Still needs a bit of tweaking, probably with both the above settings and the gamma + adjust modifiers in the boblight.conf file, but it's a start.

I have the conf file I ended up doing below. It's andromeda pattern as well (4 top, 2 left, 2 right and 2 bottom). 15% height on the top/bottom, 15% width left/right. Let me know if you see anything wrong with it. All the led positions are correct as long as you've switched around the ports that the 3, 4 and 5 leds are plugged in to (so that they correspond with the correct grab widgets in prismatik). I've got this conf file bundled with boblight (for x64) and the required dll's in this download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a65t6ip4727it1b/boblightd.zip
