<p>boblight & adalight notes</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Boblight with Adalight on Linuxmce =<br />
<br />
Until Linuxmce integrates the possibility to do some postprocessing in xine it looks like you have to run a separate xine process which enables postprocessing. I put this together based on my notes so if something does not work please let me know and improve this page.<br />
<br />
* [https://code.google.com/p/boblight/ boblight]<br />
* [https://learn.adafruit.com/adalight-diy-ambient-tv-lighting adalight] (the hardware can be order for less then $50 on ebay.<br />
<br />
== install Boblight ==<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libxext-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavdevice-device<br />
<br />
svn checkout http://boblight.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ boblight-read-only<br />
cd boblight-read-only/<br />
<br />
./configure --without-portaudio<br />
make<br />
make install<br />
echo "/usr/local/lib/libboblight.so" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/boblightlibs.conf<br />
sudo ldconfig<br />
<br />
Next create a startscript for the daemon<br />
<br />
/etc/init/boblight.conf<br />
# boblight service<br />
<br />
description "boblight"<br />
author "jordi"<br />
<br />
start on started network-services<br />
stop on starting shutdown<br />
<br />
respawn<br />
<br />
env EXEC="/usr/local/bin/boblightd"<br />
env PIDFILE="/var/run/boblightd.pid"<br />
env CONFFILE="/etc/boblight.conf"<br />
env LOGFILE="/var/log/boblightd.log"<br />
<br />
exec start-stop-daemon -m --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $EXEC --start -- -c $CONFFILE > $LOGFILE 2>&1<br />
<br />
------------------------------<br />
<br />
Lastly setup the configuration script for boblight at /etc/boblight.conf. Below is the basis for the configuration file to start from. You need to calculate the lights location and add those to the file. Use an online calculator for this: <br />
