@quixand - yes - just specify the activate part in your boblightd.conf

from the boblight wiki:

Code:

Specifies the horizontal scanrange for this light, this setting is optional, the default is 0.0 100.0
This setting only has an effect for clients that react to an image like boblight-X11 and boblight-v4l. The syntax is hscan begin end.
Begin and end specify the percentage of the horizontal range the light should react to. Example: hscan 0.0 50.0
•vscan
Specifies the vertical scanrange for this light, same as hscan.

So for the vscan instead of using 0-50 for top and 50-100 for bottom - go with 10-50 for top and 50-90 for bottom (this ignores the upper and lower 10% of video lines).

Thanks Memphiz. Is there any plan for the future to include a toggle or auto detect for these kinds of movies? So I don't have to go in after time and change this? Or is setting them this way ok for fullscreen movies as well? Meaning, is the accuracy on full screen movies with the settings for hardcoded bars still as accurate?

Also, is there a way to have boblight work ONLY for movies? I watch a lot of television through my Xbmc, and don't want the lights to be on just for those. I thought the option in the add-on for Override media was for that purpose, but enabling it, and setting it to movies didn't have the desired effect.
