Hey guys could use a little help getting setup, running xbmcbuntu and at this point I've got boblightd installed as well as the boblight xbmc addon (on same machine). I've used hansaplasts tool to create a config which I then modified to suit 2 lightpacks.

Code:

I had previously tested with 1 lightpack and some default lightpack config found with boblight, I did manage to get the addon to connect and display static colour. However, currently the addon tells me it cannot find boblightd. I don't know if i need to run boblightd manually before activating the addon, but I've tried to run sudo boblightd through putty which appears to be ok - but the addon won't seem to work with it still.

Code:

15:34:21.654693 (CDevice::Process)               AmbiLight2: setup succeeded

what doesn't seem to make it to the log but i can see in the putty window is this message which results from starting the addon

Code:

boblightd: malloc.c:3822: _int_malloc: Assertion `(unsigned long)(size) >= (unsigned long)(nb)' failed.

and from the xbmc log

Code:
