firstly, huge thanks...... your tut does work :-)
i now have beautifully flowing boblight controlled leds on my tv. :-)
now, one small isuue, when i click the start.bat i get about 4 terminal windows opening on my desktop (and red, blue and green flashs from leds),3 blank terminal windows and one terminal window telling me
C:\boblightd>MODE com3:9600,N,8,1 1>NUL

C:\boblightd>clear
"clear is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\boblightd>tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq boblightd.exe" 2>NUL : find /I /N "boblightd,exe" 1>NUL

CTerminate batch job (Y/N)?

if i select yes it terminates (as you would expect but if i select no then it loads and is ready for the plugin and i get the red green blue again. Is there anyway to fix this so i can load it on windows startup?
I then go into xbmc official 12.1 and the plugin finds boblightd and my leds come on real fancy :-) and when i sleect a move i have working leds!!
Now i notice straight away the white on the screen come out as blue on the leds so i need to sort out the gamma stuff, but so far its great to see it working.
Thank you again Teko for taking the time to help me out, if you have any odeas that you like to try to sort out the above problem lease let me know.
