Quit making it personal!
Im just telling what works here and what doesnt.

VZoltan

if someone is so kind to tell me how to compile the patched omxplayer, i would do it every month when a new raspbmc is out and upload to my ftp to share. but i dont know how to do it.

i dont see how it is better, but i think it is easier to implement, but it is a step back in a way.

VZoltan

And the other thing is that this new solution uses cpu even im not using raspbmc for video at all, it is always running and calculating screenshots... 24/7 (even if i turn on black screensaver to turn off the leds...)

VZoltan

Did I read this can be overcome by using different configs? Not ideal I know, but the advantage of boblight-dispmanx if I understand correctly is that it works in all areas of XMBC, not just video playback? Advantage? Yes, but the subtitles also influence the leds, that's not ideal i think http://w...

boblight-dispmanx, well this one is not as good as they think it is, if you have different aspectratio (black bars) your leds on that side of the screen, wont light up.

Is it possible to turn off the leds when the xbmc gui is active, and use the leds only when a movie is one with this new boblight-dispmanx solution? I like this way at is it now with omxplayer patch cuz My pi is always on since last september, and xbmc is always active. I dont want to see blue ligt...

Fortunately my tv does not produce any heat at all, velcro is in place since ive applied it on the edges of the back of the tv

VZoltan

nice, but mine is very simple and doesnt need any installation since it uses bash

(but it only works with gmail at the moment)

VZoltan

Ok i did manage it on the rpi itself, no 3rd party server is required:) (boblightd and boblight-constant and leds are required :) ) This is a led notification script for new unread gmail, it uses your leds behind your tv even during a movie is played. gmail.sh script for checking if there is a new u...

Could you explain how it works? How does it hook into the playing video to get the colours? Uses vc_dispmanx_snapshot. It grabs everything onscreen (video + UI) and downsamples it. Should be usable for omxplayer, xbmc, 3D, X, console - whatever is on screen. Do you have any idea how to configure bo...

I dont get it
Is it diferent than raspbmc june update with boblightd and its addon in xbmc?

VZoltan

Hi everyone, I have created a standalone boblight application for RPi. You can find it here: github.com/brooc/boblight-rpi Please test it and let me know what you think. I am working on creating an XBMC addon for my application. You will of course need the boblightd addon installed as well... Whats...

oh, well that i wouldn't disagree with. i said 0.1-0.2 seconds delay its not a delay (mine has also less than a sec "delay" hardly noticable) its like when you see someone moving under stroboscope light, the "movement" of your light is not as fluid as it should be, like a bad mo...

VZoltan

i would disagree. it is a delay and its very noticeable when you play the test with the rotating colours. i'll put that on tonight and try playing with the different boboptions.txt. could you paste the contents of the June update boboptions.txt or any others you find work well? i think i've since o...

i have no idea, it just works for me (50 leds)

try to install the new June raspbmc and use its boblightd activated in Raspbmc Settings.

VZoltan

Are you saying that the txt file gets reset to default values? I've never experienced that issue. Are u sure that's related to boblightd tho...? Boboptions.txt are options for OMXplayer Boblight.conf is for boblightd I know what files is what for, thx :) Anyway, we will see what will be in july upd...
