So far ;-
I decided to go from scratch and uninstalled and reinstalled "enigma2-plugin-extensions-boblight-enigma2_0.8r6. There is a newer version 0.8r7 but it's not .ipk , it's all the files already open but I don't know how to install it in file form.
After a lengthy reboot (took about 3 minutes to reboot) I tried to make a .conf using the Boblight enigmalight plugin option (5) but as soon as I go to save it crashes my Miraclebox. I even tried to use a program for the PC called "Boblight config maker windows" make a boblight.conf and FTP it over to /etc but when I go to turn the lights on I get an onscreen message saying " no boblight.conf found in etc!!!".
My ambibox is flashed with 6.2fw which is selected in the conf set up so right now I don't know how to get it running. I have the crashlog but I can't post it up its too long
If anyone can help please do.
