@Memphiz - great work! Boblight addon works perfectly for me. My question is about system cpu usage and how to up prioritize Boblight.
When any Kodi activity is running in the background, like Library updates, or downloading fanart, or long running scripts like the Trakt add-on, Boblight slows to a crawl and only refreshes the lights every few seconds. When nothing is running in the background, Boblight runs butter smooth. This means I have to wait until all background tasks are done and also hope nothing else starts up. This is on a pretty high powered i7/GTX960 box, 256GB SSD, running Libreeelc (Openelec). So is there a way to prioritize Boblight cpu usage over any other tasks to prevent it from slowing down? could the behavior be disk usage related?
