Hi, yammyam.

Have you enabled the blackbar detection ?
This is still development. and not working in this moment.
This can be the reason for the wheels.

And what is your sizedown ? (menu optiuon2)

What is a N Box ??
I think this is not supported.

What sort of processor had it ??
and what image you use ?
And what is the output of

Code

cat /proc/stb/info/chipset

?

N box is from a polish platform and you can patch it with enigma 2.It Based on the processor Sti7100
Flash Memory: 64 MB
RAM: 192 MB
This processor has 266 mhz.i thing dm800 is better then this one.and the 800 has problems with boblight because low power.

googloman · 9. Juni 2013

yea its that one adi800 mentions

so i guess no chance?
I tried your command; doesnt work, but have given other info maybe you can see?

if it is impossible on this box... what is best box to buy?
will it work with the VU+ solo2? It has a 1.2ghz processor i think....

But if it can work with this and I can save money that would be BEST!!!

thanks

Henno88 · 9. Juni 2013

Its a sh4 CPU boblight wont work.

I have a VU+ solo2 and xtrend et6000 both work very well

Hi speedy,

One suggestion for your overview page. Perhaps you could include the following link.
sanya.tarhelyszolgaltato.eu/. It is a good web calculator to help adjusting the leds around your tv.
In additon there is a possebilty to get the leds config part for the boblight.conf file in the same step.
For me it was very helpful by building a frame for my tv to have here the direct mm in a table generated where i have to make the holes.

Hi karalik,
My dreambox boblight config is working pretty well now. You mentioned in your posting that raspbmc is working with the deamon of your dreambox.
I tried the same by installing the raspbmc boblight addon and activated it. In the configuration of the plugin i put in the ip adress of the dreambox. But in the movie mode no light are on.
Is there anything to config in the dreambox as well? If i use my raspbmc i put the dreambox in standby.
Thank you, zwehn

You mean if you play a video on the raspbmc and want that the lights from dream are on ?

Have you changed the bobconfig.txt ?

localhost must be the ip adress from your box.
and 19333 is the port.

Then save the bobconfig.txt. now it must work.

Hi,
remove raspbmc boblight add-on. There is problem with priorities i think. (What i read on raspberry forum).

Since you have working raspberry pi, you can use it as boblight deamon.
So install speedy's ipk on dm, press 4, put raspberry's ip (which is boblight deamon's ip), save and press green (open lights). Now you should get ambilight from dreambox.

When u use raspberry for watching film, just put dreambox in standby or choose "light off" in speedy's plug'in.

googloman · 10. Juni 2013

thanks for replies gues

so guess i will have to replace by nBox

questoin: does any vu+ solo work ? even the 'made in china' ones?
is there any limits like on the dm800 with the vu+ solo normal version? (not the 2)

i have gone through the different 55+ pages of this thread lol
would it be worth having a compatibility page?
there are so many broadcom receivers different price ranges.... i dont know which one would be best.
most are 400mhz.... is that powerful enough?

i dont want to buy another box which will not work

impact79 · 10. Juni 2013

Hallo !
Puh, mir schwirrt der Kopf, habe mich durch zig Foren und Threads durchgearbeitet und hoffe hier richtig zu sein. Ok, die Software ist also nur auf einem bestimmten Chipset und / oder einer bestimmten CPU lauffähig.

Aber welche ist nun die Box mit der stärksten Hardware, auf der sie läuft ? Stimmt es dass die VU+ Modelle der zweiten Generation (Solo2 etc.) kompatibel sind ? Und falls ja, sind die Out-Of-the-Box kompatibel oder nur durch komplizierte Anpassungen ?

Gruß,
Impact

Kauf dir die 800se und du wirst zufrieden sein.sedu läuft bestens drauf mit boblight.

Hi Karalik,

I want to use the client grabber on the raspbmc with boblight addon.
Demon is working on the dreambox.

Demon on dreambox has the right ip adress in the boblight.conf. Clientgrabber on dreambox is linked to this ip (over boblight addon on dreambox and ip for client).
So the environment on dreambox works with specific IP.

Now to the Raspbmc and the config there.
In my understanding I only need the raspbmc addon boblight as a client to connect with the dreambox demon.
Therefore I put the IP from the dreambox in the raspbmc boblight gui to link. But that didnt work.
Do I have to put in addition also a boblight.conf to the raspbmc if I only want to use the dreambox demon?

thanks, zwehn

Hi zwehn.

The boblight addon for xbmc is not working with raspbmc or other distro's
the only thing that works on this moment is the patched xbmc with raspbmc, see :http://pibob.nadnerb.co.uk/software.html

replace part 2 with the optimized version see: https://github.com/Speedy1985/boblightd-for-raspberry/wiki

To change the settings, you need to make a bobconfig.txt file in /home/pi/

Paste this into the new file and save

Code

enabled=true
host=DREAMBOXIP
port=19333
priority=233
sizedown=112
margin=5
timeout=35
interpolation=1
speed=60
autospeed=0
saturation=1.0
threshold=15

Turn off the lights on your dreambox or put the dream in standby.
but let the daemon running.

Now restart pi and it must work.

a boblight.conf is not needed on your pi, only on the dreambox.

Auf der solo2 läuft boblight wunderbar ohne Anpassungen ausgenommen natürlich die passende boblight.config

zwehn · 18. Juni 2013

Thanks Speedy for the raspbmc howto, in the end I decided not to go for this special raspbmc implementation. I dont want to loose the standard with update services...
Hopefully its a question of time that this will be standard.

Buts thanks anyway.
