addon setting is default : fast
playing around with those those didn't seem to have a effect.

and indeed hyperion doesn't use the boblight.conf, which is why i mentioned it as you said it must be the boblight.conf, which surprized me.

is there any way to check the plugin's output? boblightd debug only logs iets output (that i can see), so that doesn't help us much.

edit: ok played around some more and setting the 'value' value really low, but not 0, got me results!
colors are still way over saturated but that can be adjusted.

for my own curiosity i'll try with Hyperion again later today (GF 'needs' the tv right now) see if it was something in the config after all or just the plugin.

now i'd just like to know why the default config was so wrong for my setup. did i set up something wrong?

Hi, i am unsure how to configure boblightd for my Kodi version. I have Kodi set up as described in this tutorial here: Radeon OSS

Your how-to states that i should run: ./configure --without-portaudio --without-opengl --without-x11 --prefix=/usr
but in the Radeon OSS how-to it states that i should run "Allow every user (everyone) to start X11"

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common

Should i run configure for boblightd with or without the "-without x-11" statement?

Thanks in advance

all that setting does is decide whether the x11 frame capture binary (boblight x11 client) is built or not. if you plan on using kodi and this plugin, then you don't need it.
if you want to also use your ambilight outside of kodi, on your desktop, then you'll need boblight-x11.
