Running simple example fails

[palikar]

I just discovered this library and tried running the provided simple example. I can connect to the OpenRGB server but then I get some internal error when I try to activate a mode for a device. For example, when running zone-change.py, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "zone-change.py", line 21, in <module>
    mode.active()
  File "/home/sun/code/py_envs/dev/lib/python3.6/site-packages/openrgb/ORGBDevice.py", line 67, in active

Hi!

Had a look into this a bit earlier, doesn't seem to occur in my personal setup but I can see the logic that would cause this to happen.

Should be a fairly minor patch, basically need to add a * in front of data in this specific case where colors are set in a mode. (I believe this was introduced in one of my more recent commits where I restructured the project.)

Should hopeful have a fix up over this over the weekend, though it's a little harder for me to test right now as I'm away from my desktop (still have remote access, but can't see the pretty colors!)

Oh, okay, thanks for the info. Btw, sorry that I forgot to mention the version of the library I use. I believe I just installed it through pip so whatever the newest version on PyPi, I used that one.

Ok, should have just resolved this in master, had to check if the argument to Blob._pack is either a tuple or a list.

Going to push this version this PyPi.

Will reopen if it turns out I broke it again.

Thanks!
