Has anyone actually gotten Lightpack to work with XBMC? I'm running a Revo 3610 which isn't the most powerful thing in the world but I figured if Lightpack could run on a raspberrypi, it could run on it. I downloaded prismatik & added the XBMC plugin from their website. After adding it to XBMC, there are no option. zero. Prismatik runs, but doesn't change the LED's within XBMC. I started down the road to trying to use boblight but I'm not that smart and I can't even find some of the necessary plugins within XBMC.

The hardest part was setting up the config file, which I attached to the blog URL above. It's painfully easy to set up once you load up the correct config file.

Custom nodes reside within your userdata folder, which I'm pretty sure you've got under OpenELEC as well (otherwise, how would it be retaining your library and settings?). You might need to enable the SSH daemon and log into the box that way to access it, though, if it's not shared with samba or whatever by default.

So a little bit of field reporting. I got my hands on an Ouya and, feeling it the right thing to do with it, I put XBMC on it and it runs like a dream. I'm impressed it took the 1080p encodes of Space Dandy (legally obtained from the UK Licenser, DRM Free and all that fun stuff) without too much issue. Ran my GCCX episodes with gutsto. The only real hang ups seem to be 10bit videos (not that it's used all that much outside of 'fansubs' anyway) which runs them fine but has a hard time keeping the colour information consistent.

Cornjob posted:IS there a way in XBMC to add and scan a movie folder, but hide it from the main Movies library? I have a bunch of old B&W and Horror movies that I want cover art and metadata for, but id rather not have them show up when wife/guests are browsing the library. With the help of you goons, I figured out how to do this. I set up a smart playlist that excludes everything in the folder that contains my schlocky horror movies. I then saved that playlist as a favorite, then configured the "movies" option on the main page to open that playlist by default. Its working perfectly. one oversight: my family primarily uses the ipad to browse movies, and these smart playlist rules have no effect on the app.

I have a Zotac Zbox running OpenElec XBMC. Is there any way to get HBO Go, Netflix, or NBA League Pass on it currently? It seems like there was some extensions at some point but they stopped being updated. Lack of these 3 things are the only thing I don't like about XBMC.

I have some time today and tomorrow. I will write up a tutorial on how I configured XBMC on Windows 7, Eventghost, and a Roku to all work together fairly seamlessly. It basically allows you to use your XBMC system to control your TV and your Roku. You can also use this set up to control other functions.

Welp, guess I found the time now... Using XBMC and Eventghost to control your TV and Roku. I am using a ROKU 3, but I am pretty sure that this should work for any of them My XBMC setup is as follows: PC is a Zotac Atom/Ion running at 2Ghz with 4GB of RAM and an Intel 330 120GB SSD. The OS is Windows 7. Eventghost is Windows only so this tutorial will not work for Open Elec or other non-Windows platforms. I am using this MCE USB Remote. It comes with a IR Remote and an IR blaster, but I didn't care for the remote lay out and the IR blaster didn't work with my TV (wrong frequency?). I ended up ordering a 2 headed IR blaster that worked. I also ordered a Xbox 360 media remote because I liked their layout and they work with the MCE receiver. Note: Eventghost supports several other IR receivers and IR blasters. I needed an IR blaster to control my TV, but many TVs support control over IP or CEC HDMI control. I will not be covering this here, but keep in mind that you may be able to control your TV other ways. We will not be using the IR blaster to control the Roku, so you will not need the IR blaster unless you have a TV that only is controllable by IR. Install Eventghost on your XBMC system and connect the MCE IR receiver and IR blaster (or what ever you are using to control the system). In XBMC, enable remote control in system/services/Webserver and in system/services/RemoteControl. Do what ever you need to do to get your Ruko a static IP address. You can configure this on your Roku's network settings or you can assign it a static DHCP assignment in your router. Go to this url and copy the contents of that pastebin in to a text file and name the file named XBMCROKU.XML Open that xml file in Eventghost. If you are using the same remote and MCE receiver that I am using, it will not require much editing to work. If you are using a different remote and/or input method, you will need to configure your events to actions. I will not be covering this as there are many other tutorials that can show you how to do that. Things you will need to edit: On the MCE plugin, select "Configure" and install the MCE service. In the XBMC2 folder there is a macro named "Switch from XBMC to Roku Mode". Everything after "Enable Roku" is IR blaster commands to change my TV to the correct HDMI input. You will likely need to remove all of these and make a config that is specific to your TV configuration. Expand the ROKU folder in Eventghost and expand all of the macros. Edit the "Send Info" action. You can see that the 6th line is "conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("192.168.1.162:8060")" Edit the ip address to be what ever you set the ROKU's address to be earlier, but leave the :8060 as is. That is the port that ROKU accept's http commands on. Repeat the above step for each ROKU action: Back, play, FWD, etc/ Note: if you are a better programmer than I am, you could probably declare the ROKU's IP as a var and call it in each action, but I was unable to get this to work correctly because I am a very lovely programmer. Note: There is a lot of info online for controlling ROKUs using telnet commands, but ROKU says that the proper supported way to remote control them is using HTTP commands like I do in this Eventghost config. Also I found the Telnet commands to not be as reliable and also caused the ROKU to make an "Error" sound after each key press. Not sure why, but in any case, HTTP is supposed the be the correct method. The very last action in the Roku folder is "Switch from Roku to XBMC Mode". I have this configured to activate on the "Recorded TV" button on my remote, but you can set it to anything that is not used. Everything between "Enable XBMC2 and "Find Window XBMC.exe" is the IR blaster commands for my TV to switch back from the ROKU HDMI input back to the XBMC HDMI input. You will need to remove these and add your own. There is a folder called "TV Control" that has controls for TV power, volume and mute. You can edit these as you need to to control your TV. There is also a folder named Steam. You can delete this folder. It is something that I use to switch to a different TV input that my gaming PC in on and is probably not useful for anyone but me. Next, in Windows Explorer, create a new text file and paste the following text inside it code:Inside XBMC, install Advance Launcher. Start Advance Launcher and configure it to run the roku.bat file you created. If you add this Advance Launcher shortcut to your favorites, you can set it up on your XBMC homescreen in most skins. Note: You can actually run "Eventghost.exe -event Roku" directly from Advance Launcher instead of running a batch file with the command in it. But I found it easier to edit the batch file for tweaking and troubleshooting. Now the way this should work if everything is configured correctly: In XBMC, you select the Roku shortcut you created with Advance Launcher. This shortbut will run "Eventghost.exe -event Roku" which triggers the event "Main.Roku". This even starts a Macro in Event ghost that switches the TV to the correct input and disables the controls in XBMC and enables the controls in Roku. Now your key presses control the ROKU over IP. When you are finished and want to go back to XBMC, you press the "Recorded TV Button" (or what ever button you changed it to) which starts the macro "Switch from Roku to XBMC Mode" which switches the TV back to the XBMC input, disables controls for the ROKU and enables the controls for XBMC. Now, some of you are asking why I would go through all of this effort. Basically, it allows me to have a unified remote control set up that doesn't require the user to manually switch TV inputs or switch between different remotes or change remote modes. The user just selects ROKU from the main menu and now they are looking at and controlling the ROKU. It's kind of like a roll-your-own Harmony remote.

Does anyone else remotely connect to their library and run an instance of XBMC elsewhere? I do this a couple of places, at work, at my parents house in a different city, couple others...but all of these are pretty much connected on an Apple device running XBMC and utilizing an AFP connection. My brother in law is wanting to connect to my shares using his Windows laptop but he's having continued trouble using FTP connections. Basically it drops connection or stutters the entire time even though his system should be more than sufficient to handle whatever he's playing. I have gigabit internet so my upload & his download are not an issue. Has anyone got a recommendation of something better to use? I thought about WEBDAV but it never seems to work correctly and when I open up SFTP on my Synology I get bombarded by Chinese hackers sniffing port 22.

I have gigabit internet so my upload & his download are not an issue. Can you run SFTP on a non standard port? I am not sure of the Synology will let you, but even if it doesn't, most routers will allow your to forward ports on the outside to different ports on the inside. Use some high port, like in the 50000s. They are not likely to be scanned. Your other options are to use VPN or get a router that supports Access Control List and restrict connections to the IP of your friend.

Not really sure if this is the best spot to ask, of if I should try the rpi thread, but I stupidly made a heap of changes to my xbmc config without first backing up, and now I can't get sound when vids play off local storage, my tv remote isn't working and when my rpi boots into xbmc, and it automatically opens the weather thing (which I've tried to disable). I've got an rpi running xbmc on openelec, connected to a panasonic tv via hdmi. Before I made my changes everything was sweet, with the tv's remote able to control xbmc. Now I can only use the ipad xbmc remote thing. I can still connect via ssh or windows shares from my laptop. I've tried to return the config to its original values but no luck, and powering down the tv to try and get it to forget the rpi and a bunch of other things seem to have made things worse, and I'm not really sure what to do next.

I'm thinking of doing the mysql build so that i can share libraries to different XBMC devices in my home. However, i have a problem, one of my devices is an openelec build on a raspberry pi, while another one is just a straight XBMC build on a windows 7 machine. According to this, i won't be able to share libraries because they have to be the exact same XBMC build? So i can't share libraries at all because of my 2 different builds? This would be installed on my windows server 2012 build and the other 2 devices would connect to it. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Share_libraries_using_MySQL quote:NOTICE: Every XBMC "client" must run the same version of XBMC.

When they say the same build, they mean the same XBMC version ( Frodo for example). The platform you are running is not relevent. This is necessary to make sure that all clients have the same library database version.

What Evilalien said, but also know that while UPnP is easy to set up, it lacks a lot of features that SQL library sharing has. For example, videos will not be marked as watched unless they where watched on the "server" XBMC machine. And you do not get the ability to stop watching on one machine and resume on another. I doubt that uPnP is going to be developed as a library sharing protocol anytime soon because the guy who was working on it for the Google Summer of Code 2012 and 2013 has pretty much disappeared from the XBMC developer community 6 months ago. I think he graduated college and who knows what happened after that.
