Thanks Memphiz. Is there any plan for the future to include a toggle or auto detect for these kinds of movies?

No - and its a hard thing to detect for sure.

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?

I use an 20% offset on top and bottom for all my movies and didn't see any strangeness yet. Though if you have boblight for a while you stop looking at the lights and judge if the colors are accurate. You come back to look the movie after you are used to boblight

Also, is there a way to have boblight work ONLY for movies?

Not possible. I'm not sure if i would even be able to detect the difference between movie and livetv from the addon side.

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.

That was another feature request of our project manager and i already forgot what this was supposed to do

Since i have read this multiple times now. Why do you wanna switch off boblight during live tv? I enjoy it during livetv sessions aswell (same like with a real ambi light from panasonic...)

Well, currently, I don't use Xbmc with live tv (pvr support)..honestly, just never looked into it. I'd imagine I'd need some type of tuner card, as I currently have Comcast, and I have to admit, we HATE their DVR option, it's truly awful.

But I guess my main reason for not having it on all the time is because I'm worried that either the arduino or LED lights will burn out being on all the time.
Besides, it's kind of cool to just have for movies. I figure there should be an option within Xbmc, I mean, Xbmc separates it's sources into Movies, TV Shows, or music. I'd think it would be pretty easy to include an option of WHEN to use boblight. Like...activate boblight only on Movies, Tvshows, both etc. Ya know?

I would think that would be an AWESOME option. I know I'd love it.
