Update 0.5R9

- Cosmetic
- Better installation. (boblight.conf will be detected and not overwrited if exists)
- You can set a blacklevel in boblight.conf, so the light wil stay on by black pixels
- You can set gamma in plugin
- Lights go now off in standby (set standby mode to on in plugin)
- Threshold added in e2fronded plugin
- Startup/Sleep script fixed
- Wakeup problem fixed
- Blackbar detection (only top/bottom for now)

After installation, you need to start this script:
/usr/bin/boblight-dev.sh
This will install all packs you need.

Usefull tip, for a nice ambilight effect.

If you want the same effect as philips ambilight tv's.

Set the right hscan to 0 30 and left hscan to 70 100
Set the top vscan to 0 30 and the bottom hscan to 70 100

Now boblight wil get the average of the color in the zone from 0 to 30 %
This gives me better colors and smoother.

Set the blacklevel in boblight.conf to 0.1
And set the speed in plugin to 55.

Start/Stop Boblight without Plugin Frondend:

Start the grabber: /etc/init.d/boblight-control start
Stop the grabber: /etc/init.d/boblight-control stop
Restart grabber: /etc/init.d/boblight-control restart

Use other client, when grabber is sleeping
Start a boblight client on other box or pc.

On linux:
export DISPLAY=0:0
boblight-X11 -s iptodeamon -o value=10
On XMBC you can give a ip and port.

Test paterns:

Start boblightd -f in telnet

boblight-chase 1 ffcc gives you a chase (ctrl+c is cancel)
boblight-chase 3 ffcc gives you a rainbow
boblight-chase 4 ffcc gives you a rainbow
boblight-chase 5 ffcc00 gives you a color, this is orange/yellow
boblight-chase 5 cc0000 gives you a color, this is red

Atmolight users with 4 leds strips, can use the config in attachement.
Rename to boblight.conf and replace in /etc

Don forget to edit /etc/boblight.conf. without a boblight.conf: no light.

if there is a error, please post it.
