Do not send output without client #47

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I'm using boblight with ola, so maybe it is plugin specific, but currently 
boblight does the following:

When boblight is started, my lights go black. I cannot control them with other 
software anymore. When a client connects, it adjusts lights correctly. When 
client disconnects, lights stay at the level of what client sent (and go black 
some time afterwards afaik). I still cannot control them with other software 
until I stop boblightd.

Can boblight (or is it the ola plugin?) be changed so that it only sends 
signals to light controllers if a client is connected? So when boblightd 
starts, it does not adjust anything until first client connects (and possibly 
until it sends first output?). When client disconnects, boblightd should again 
stop sending anything to the controllers.

Yeah should be possible, the LTBL implementation in boblightd already does 
something similar.
