Got my lightpack,and can't get the prismatik,software to recognize it on my Mac mini. I installed the software ahead of time and played around with it in virtual mode, now I can't get our of virtual mode. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but it's like nothing changed.
Any tips? The company that makes the lightpacks has HORRIBLE customer service
You just have to delete the config file (main.conf) and Prismatik should behave like the first time you opened it.
It's located in a hidden folder (.Prismatik) in your home folder, the easiest way would be to make sure you're in the Finder, choose Go > “Go to Folder.”, type "/Users/admin/.Prismatik" (replace admin with your user) and hit Go, now you should be se two folders and "main.conf", just delete that and you're done.

It is not (IMO) as good as the pukka Philips Ambilight but even with two packs at £200 it's a lot cheaper than a new set just to get some fancy lights.
I also backed the lightpack project on Kickstarter. I have it working great on my Hackintosh intel NUC running PHT.
I'm using a Harmony remote to control Plex and wanted to be able to turn the lightpack on/off switch profiles remotely.
I've gotten it to work pretty well. I have 2 ways of doing this
a python script called by Applescript in keymaps/joystick.Harmony.xml
i.e. : Plex.RunAppleScript(do shell script "~/bin/lp_remote.py off")
It's fairly simple.. Put the script and lightpack.py into a directory in your path (I use ~/bin).
lp_remote - select that profile (case sensitive) and turn on the lights
lp_remote off - turn lights off
lp_remote list - list available profiles
I've also created a plex channel to control the prismatik software. It's in the early stages, but it does everything I need it to do. Looking for suggestions/tips/etc.
Currently setting preferences only works from the web client. Setting from the OSX client does not work. I think it's an issue with the current PHT or PMS, as I saw the same issue on other Channels

Thats great stuff, gonna try this during this weekend! Finaly got my Lightpack :)
Totally off topic, what settings are you using for your Harmony controller? Have a one of those, but cant get it working on my Intel Nuc with PHT. Would be nice to be able to hit one of the activites and boot up the computer. Or even controll PLEX with the remote. Feel free to PM as this has nothing to do with this topic.

Thanks for the hard work YellowBee !! I've manually installed the channel and it is working great! Well... after a little tweak: I had to add the api key management in the prefs. As it is a very easy job to do it, I suppose there is a good reason why you didn't ? :)
