I don't get the problem, you can just change the boblight.conf on the raspberry pi to suit your needs.
The options like saturation and speed have to be set from the client though.

of course i can, but imagination u want to set the channel order, lights information by an external program, u cannot provide this infornation to boblightd. For now, its not bidirectional as u can get the lights information provided by boblightd but u cant set them.
For example, if i use the ras pi only for daemon, as interface Lan -> Lights using its /dev/spidev0.0 - i want to set the lights information from an external gui, like a DreamBox satalite receiver. Or maybe from a second HTPC. Maybe only one time yes matching to that TV . for now i need to connect directly on that daemon device to change the boblight.conf one time at least. I will not be able to increase the blocks... or stuff directly from another device.
If the other device is able to create a boblight,conf fine, it would be nice if it would be possible to send this boblight.conf to boblightd and boblightd stores this configuration on the local device so u can provide transparent data.
Another idea... u can directly connect a RGB stripe to the RasPi and u can binary controll it over the /dev/spidev0.0
Is it possible to send binary values on an defined output?
I think a new type would be needed then or? no prefix, no postfix, blank binary RGB values on an defined output device
I dont have a RasPi right now but im in contact with one who has one raspi connected to rgb stripes ws2801 directly and this works fine.

Well that's the whole idea of having a daemon, you set it up once with a proper config, and then all the clients automatically know how many lights you have, and on which parts of the screen they should react to, without having to deal with hardware specific implementations.
If you want to control a ws2801 directly with a raspberry pi, you have to code another output device to boblight.

I have EXACTLY the same problem as you Fire, I sent PM to bobo1on1 and he explained me that video playback on raspberry doesn't use GLES so the RenderCapture interface can't grab the frame.
I use raspbmc, I cant post on the raspbmc forum, Varnish send me 503 ...

I am using adalight with 25 LEDs and Arduino UNO R3.
My system is running ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with an intel g45 graphics chip.
I have noticed that the some LEDs tend to flash with the default interval setting in the boblight.conf.
This is very noticeable in movie scenes were parts of the screen are relative dark.
If I reduce the interval to 53333 (<18.75 fps) there is no flashing any more.
Is this an expected behavior? Could this be an hardware or software issue?

Does increasing the threshold fix it?

Can't get boblight to run in xbmc. Can someone help me with it.
I use the SEDU board. I installed boblight plugin in xbmc, set the comport, started the boblightd app but nothing happens
xbmc logs shows it is connected, but no changing of colors.
