Hey Memphiz, is there any way to add a setting for hardcoded widescreen movies so that the top and bottom lights get used when they get played in xbmc? I never bothered ripping movies without them, and thus, a vast majority of my movies have the hardcoded bars, and boblight only captures the left and right side, leaving the top and bottom dark.

I cringe at the idea of re-encoding TB's worth of my movie collection. LOL

WOW, so many configuration and combination .

adalight, atmolight, lightpack, etc... combined with processing code, boblight, lightpack script, lightpack software, custom software, etc....

so far whats the benefits of one from the other?

right now am using adalight with processing its working ok but don't like the fact of processing running all the time and that there isn't too much to tuning like how to tune to fix the fact that some color dont match (it could be the power supply since i been having difficulty finding the correct PS, right know am using to test a computer PS i think is 5v 2A but dont know if is the correct rate as per the WS2801 datasheet it can take 6v, but is running ok.

what i want to know is whats the benefits of trying to add boblight to my mix (ws2801 strip 150 leds, arduino uno R3, adalight code(ledstream.pde) )

*also am on MAC

If you can't get boblight working, you might go for lightpack. Processing is the worst solution and it's blowing up your java process. I have experienced that on Windows.

Code:

red adjustments:
gamma - 2.0
adjust - 0.65

green adjustments:
gamma - 2.0
adjust - 1.0

blue adjustments:
gamma - 2.1
adjust - 0.7

Above are adjustments for the colors of the LEDs if they are based on LPD6803 chip. I have WS8201 based LEDs. Did anyone already made adjusments? Want to spare me the time to figure them out by myself.

Also one big question:
Earlier in this thread, bobo1on1 wrote that boblight 1.31b is not working with his XBMC addon but the boblightd in quixand thread is working like a charm. Did I miss anything?

Mr. Henky, first of all, those color adjustments are for WS8201 LEDs. Not the LPD6803. They MAY work for the LPD6803's, but I have NO idea if they do. LOL

As for boblight 1.31b, it doesn't work. If you look at the files in my tutorial, you'll see that I call the 1.31b version of boblightd in the batch to open the communication to the serial device. Then I kill it, and relaunch an earlier version to do the communication with the boblight add-on inside Xbmc. I can't recall what compile version it was, but it was an earlier working version. So what is running in my tutorial "technically" isn't 1.31b, I just use it to open communication with the arduino.
