What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ffmpeg library not installed
2. configure --without-ffmpeg
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
configure script still try to use ffmpeg.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Revision 416 on Cygwin, Windows 7 32bit

Please provide any additional information below.
By changing the code in configure
# Check whether --with-ffmpeg was given.
if test "${with_ffmpeg+set}" = set; then :
  withval=$with_ffmpeg; with_ffmpeg=check
fi

to

# Check whether --with-ffmpeg was given.
if test "${with_ffmpeg+set}" = set; then :
  withval=$with_ffmpeg; 
else
  with_ffmpeg=check
fi

it works. Not sure if it is completely correct though.

When compiling the latest source files (make install) under fresh installed and 
latest Ubuntu Beta 12.04 the following message appears in the terminal:

On the same system using Ubuntu 10.04 the problem did not occur!
Tried to search for such an error but without success so far...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Version,
3.3.1-1-ARCH x86_64

I've created a quick-n-dirty light configuration generator in bash.

The process of calculating the positions of all of the lights and keeping track 
for the configuration file can be pretty cumbersome, running this script allows 
you to enter the amount of lights on each side of the screen and will generate 
the light section for you automatically.

Hopefully it'll be of use to someone.

Hi,

since I could not find another way to send in a patch, I am using the Tracker :)

Attached is a patch that adds support for 'KarateLight' devices. It is a 8 (or 
with extension-pcb 16Channels) RGB-Dimmer.
Schematics and Firmware can be found here:
http://ca.rstenpresser.de/~cpresser/data/karate/

Without the patch the prefix and color data were send in two messages. Since 
Karatelight expects this to be just one message, I have changed the code to 
always send the prefix and color-data in one burst. This should not break other 
devices.
At least, the AtmoLight device still works fine with the patch applied.

Greetings
Carsten

OLA is the open lighting architecture. It's a mature client/server based 
lighting system, mainly for use with DMX lighting fixtures.  You will find OLA 
at http://code.google.com/p/linux-lighting/

olabob.tar.gz contains:

* a native OLA driver for boblightd. 
* a popen protocol plugin for boblightd (not so good)

OLA supports the following devices & protocols:

ArtNet  
E1.31 / ACN     
ESP Net     
Pathport    
Sandnet     
ShowNet     

Anyma uDMX  
Arduino RGB Mixer   
DMX 4 Linux     
DMX USB Pro     
DMX-TRI     
DMXking USB DMX512-A    
Open DMX USB    
Packetheads USB_DMX Dongle  
RDM-TRI     
StageProfi (Ethernet version only)
uDMX_asp    
USBDMX2         
Velleman K8062


To build either, you will need to build and install ola first. (see 
http://opendmx.net/index.php/OLA_on_Linux)

the src directory contains only the files i've changed/created from the SVN 
version I obtained on 28th July 2010.

Automake could not be convinced to search /usr/local/lib from the AM_CHECK_LIBS 
so I had to add LD flags in src/Makefile.am 

Hippy (2010)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Build portaudio V19 from src
2. Build boblight --without-ffmpeg --without-ola

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 11.04, portaudio V19

Please provide any additional information below.
Building --without-portaudio works, but I need sound support

I have compiled the boblightd for my dreambox.
See the attachement.

I i run boblightd i see only:
/dev/ttyUSB0 write: 41 64 61 00 31 64 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 
ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 
ff ff 

And my lights go on, and have the color White.

If i run boblight-constant FFCC00 (also in attachement), i see only white (ff 
ff ff ff ff ).

If i run the same on Ubuntu i see, for black
/dev/ttyUSB0 write: 41 64 61 00 31 64 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 11.10

Hello,

when i'm trying to use Boblight with some newer games such as BF3, my device 
just acts like it's timed out. If i switch from fullscreen to window mode, i 
will only get the colors from my desktop. My game has the same resolution as my 
desktop in fullscreen mode. I'm using Windows 7 x64 with Boblight 1.3 Beta 1. 
In all other cases Boblight works very well. Is there an option in the settings 
which can fix my problem, or is this a known issue?

best regards

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. svn checkout http://boblight.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ boblight-read-only
2. cd boblight-read-only/
3. ./configure
4. make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Compilation works almost fine, it stops because it can't find a rule to
create libboblight.h (after first run the src folder contains boblightd,
boblight-X11 and so on)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm trying to compile on Ubuntu 9.10, GNU Make 3.81 and gcc version 4.4.1

Please provide any additional information below.

I have Boblight with Arduino Duemilanove (rev 2011) with Chip ATmega328 . And 
uses two drivers TCL5940 on 32 channels leds strip .
On Windows XP perfect with the sketch ;

***************************************************

After Check your arduino code and not work correct. 


My solution is implementation code prefix add 55 AA online for linux
in above example .


How to do prefix " prefix 55 AA " code previous sketch ?


Thanks you Bob .

What am I doing wrong here? I used the latest SVN version.

I have attached a .c file which I designed to allow me to be able to easily 
start/stop boblight clients from within other applications. This program starts 
an instance of the boblightd server, and then proceeds to monitor a 
configurable directory for any files modified / created.  At the moment, it 
looks for specific filenames being modified as a trigger for launching specific 
clients. For example, if the file /path/to/watch/dir/tv is modified, the 
boblight-X11 client is started. Only one client is active at a time, the 
previous one being killed when a new one is started.

The advantage of a system like this is that it allows clients to be 
started/stopped by other applications by simply running 'echo 1 > 
/path/to/watch/dir/tv' when TV playback starts to begin the 'classic' ambilight 
system, and 'echo 666666 > /path/to/wathc/dir/fixed' when it is paused/  
stopped to provide room lighting. This method means that other applications 
don't have to worry about permissions, or where they are running from, or any 
other sort of process management. I have used this with both MythTV system 
events (for the scenario described above) and a simple PHP webpage to implement 
a light controller.

There are still improvements to be made (a lot of stuff needs to be moved to a 
config file instead of being hardcoded), but I thought I would share this in 
case it was interesting / useful.  

I'm using boblight with ola, so maybe it is plugin specific, but currently 
boblight does the following:

When boblight is started, my lights go black. I cannot control them with other 
software anymore. When a client connects, it adjusts lights correctly. When 
client disconnects, lights stay at the level of what client sent (and go black 
some time afterwards afaik). I still cannot control them with other software 
until I stop boblightd.

Can boblight (or is it the ola plugin?) be changed so that it only sends 
signals to light controllers if a client is connected? So when boblightd 
starts, it does not adjust anything until first client connects (and possibly 
until it sends first output?). When client disconnects, boblightd should again 
stop sending anything to the controllers.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. have ffmpeg version 1:0.11.1-1 installed
2. try compiling boblight

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
i expect it to compile, instead i get:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
compiled from svn rev 442
archlinux

Please provide any additional information below.
it seems ffmpeg deprecated AVFormatParameters a while ago and finally got rid 
off it: 
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git&a=search&st=commit&s=AVFormatParameters

There might be some locale issues regarding the conversion of floats to and
from ascii.
The C locale should be used for the config file, commandline arguments and
the client-server protocol, but not for the client-lib configuration interface.

This should be done with the imbue() method from stringstream, not with
setlocale().

Hi,

I get 

"checking for main in -lGL       ... no"

during configure on ubuntu 10.10 desktop.

i dont' know what i can do. is a package missing?

thanks
tobias

I am attempting to build boblight svn revision 398 on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64. 

I have installed audio/portaudio2 port - the header file is found, but not 
recognized. 

checking portaudio.h presence... yes
checking for portaudio.h... yes
checking for PaStreamCallbackTimeInfo... yes
checking for main in -lportaudio... no
configure: error: Missing a required library, please install it or disable it 
by passing --without-portaudio to configure
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.


In order to get configure-script to run, I need to disable both portaudio and 
ffmpeg. 
It still does not build. Running gmake (make is bsd-make on FreeBSD) gives the 
following errors: 

configure: WARNING: --without-portaudio passed, boblightd will not have support 
for sound devices

I don't understand why the file that the process tries to move is not available

What steps will reproduce the problem?
grab souce by svn

run ./configure
run make

I get this build error:
clients/boblight-v4l/videograbber.cpp:122:59: error: ‘CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO’ was 
not declared in this scope
clients/boblight-v4l/videograbber.cpp: In member function ‘void

clients/boblight-v4l/videograbber.cpp:240:92: error: ‘avcodec_decode_video’ 
was not declared in this scope

Documentation needs to be written for boblightd, boblight.conf, all the
clients, using the lib, the protocol and the hardware.

Also a getting started guide is needed.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Installed are libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libavformat-dev 
libswscale-dev libxext-dev

When trying to configure with: ./configure --without-portaudio --prefix=/usr

it throws:
checking whether clock_gettime is declared... yes
checking for main in -lusb-1.0... no
checking libusb-1.0/libusb.h usability... no
checking libusb-1.0/libusb.h presence... no
checking for libusb-1.0/libusb.h... no
configure: error: Missing a required header, please install it

Since iBeLight support throws this.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile boblight via Cygwin
2. Put all required cygwin dll files in the same directory as 
boblight-constant.exe
3. Have boblightd.exe running (XBMC plugin working fine)
4. Run boblight-constant.exe FF0000

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No lights are turned on, instead just an error message.
c:\Boblight\new>boblight-constant.exe FF0000
ERROR: No such file or directory

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Rev 416, Windows 7, 32Bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Same behaviour when trying to run boblight-X11.exe.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. 4. channel does not work for Ardunio Atmega 128 (no output)
2. I have tried on windows so it does work on windows with amblone program for 
Arduino Atmega 128
3. So it has to be something wrong with .pde file 
http://code.google.com/p/boblight/source/browse/trunk/arduino/boblight_arduino_p
wm/boblight_arduino_pwm.pde and channel 11, 12, 13.

I have a lamp which has multiple functions - as clients connect to the boblight 
I'd like to have boblight send an initialisation string in this case "7\x0D" 
which selects function 7 the boblight, then there's a 500ms wait period before 
a signal can be sent

I'd suggest the boblight.conf settings 

initstring = "7\x0D"

and 

delayafterinit = 500000

I have my video grabber which uses v4l2 on /dev/video1.
I tested it with vlc which works flawless.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the libraries from ffmpeg while building 
boblight-v4l. Any ideas?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Building through cygwin, r413
2. ./configure --without-portaudio --without-ffmpeg
3. make

Greetings...

...Hagen

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile and run boblightd
2. Connect an arduino via USB using ltbl

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected behaviour: Being able to control the output pins of the arduino using 
eg. boblight-constant FF0000 for {1,0,0} output. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
rev400, Ubuntu. 

Please provide any additional information below:
It seems that the skeleton code provided does not properly reflect the updates 
ltbl-protocol. Several steps are completely ommited.

Here is my command prompt when I was trying to compile r428. I'm relatively new 
to Linux and don't know how to fix this?

VScan should be width, and vice versa.

Boblight clients need to know if their input is used, if their input is not
used then they can turn off their possibly expensive capture routines.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the link, from the ardunio web page, try to download the zip file

2. Triedfrom the google code as issue
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Hi there is new daemon for boblight. All files are included. The makefile.in is 
based on latest r440 build. This daemon is useful for creating an ambient with 
your ambilight.

This is from readme file:


----------------------------------------------
Credit for boblight-chase goes to Chris Oattes
Code merged by iLLiac4
----------------------------------------------

Usage of boblight-chase:

1. mode = 0: pixel chase. arg1 = brightness (sensible range: 0 - 300)
2. mode = 1: colour pulse. arg1 = brightness (sensible range: 0 - 300)
3. mode = 2: static rainbow
4. mode = 3: rainbow 'wave'
5. mode = 4: rainbow 'trickle'

Run example:
1. boblight-chase 0 180
2. boblight-chase 1 230
3. boblight-chase 2 FF
4. boblight-chase 3 FF
5. boblight-chase 4 FF

boblight-chase daemon can be run also through script.
This is an example of .sh script:
--------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
killall boblight-constant
killall boblight-X11
killall -v boblightd
killall boblight-chase
/usr/bin/boblightd -f > /dev/null 2>&1
DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/boblight-chase -f 1 200 > /dev/null 2>&1
--------------------------------------------------------------

Notes:
- Only mode 0 and 1 has an additional parameter for brightness.
- Mode 2, 3 and 4 uses constant FF. This one has to be used, but has no affect 
to colour if changed.

Hi,

Attached is a small patch which implements the simple checksum required by the 
new KarateLight firmware.
I know its not 'clean' since i use plain numbering for the bytes-sequence, but 
i am not sure how to do better.

Fading out to zero should end with a "white" RGB value.

when boblight fades out to #000000, it looks strange when the color was white 
in general, but due to the fade out red / blue / green may blink on the last / 
smalest value.

I would recoomend to jump from 010101 to 000000 here - maybe to provide a 
"border" to say all smaler than 0X = 00.

This will prevent collor on faceout like 010000 which will blink in red.

Thx!

Currently the build system uses AC_CHECK_LIB with an empty command for the
"action if found", this will link all targets to all libs specified, which
is clearly not necessary.

It needs to be made possible to enable/disable build targets based on
whether the required dependencies are found.

FFmpeg headers need cleaning, right now it assumes libav*/ for the header
paths, which is not true on all systems.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start a game with wine


Boblight stops to work if I start HoM&M V: Tribes of the east.  A report of the 
problem can be seen in the file attached. 

[deleted issue]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start boblight-X11
2. start video with output option vdpau enabled (i tried both vlc and mplayer)
3. lights only show "black"


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
rev 393, gentoo linux

Hi there

Is there any boblight mailinglist or forum?

I want to build an Ambilight clone like the "LiveLight" but with more Channels 
and i want to skip the FTDI Chip. So i like to use this Atmel AVR Chip: 
http://www.atmel.com/devices/AT90USB647.aspx

My problem is i've no idea where to start. Where to get a proper Firmware to 
start with. In which mode i should use boblight and is there any config that i 
can use as an example for my "Problem"?

cheers from Vienna
Daniel

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./configure --with-ffmpeg
2. make

Hi Bob,

Can you add this sedu-prefix to devices232.cpp ?

if (type == SEDU)
{
    m_prefix.push_back(0xA5);
    m_prefix.push_back(0x5A);
    m_postfix.push_back(0xA1);
}

And: #define SEDU 10 to device.h

This is for the sedu-ambilight. Thanks!

PWM pin selection can be done with following.

There are basically two types of Arduino regarding PWM pins: Arduino Mega and 
non-Mega.

They can be automatically detected by compiler based on processor type.

//on the Arduino megam, 12 pwm outputs are available, on the duemilanove there 
are 6
#if defined(__AVR_ATmega1280__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega2560__)
  uint8_t outputs[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13};
#else
