LED Lights for back of TV

[ChroniC]

@ChroniC Thanks for sharing that. I'm planning on using it to run lights behind my gaming monitor attached to my PC so I will look at finding a way to run the software via the PC if possible, but if not I have a couple of old Pi's kicking about. Looks like a fun project!

There was an option on android to use a software capture device and send via WiFi to the pi. But it crash my android box everytime.

I guess if you can get a software that both captures the screen and controls the Leds then you can bypass almost all of it, but you'll need some sort of USB to LED data cable and power cable to port the Leds and send the data. That might be pretty intensive on both things, I'm not sure.

I've got some time next month so will have a play with it - will be interesting to see if the system adds a significant overhead to my PC (enough to be noticeable in game)... Can't see why it would, but I guess it is always a risk with niche software and diy hardware

Google Philips Ambilight. You'll be blown away.

It's a bot surely. Not sure why, but it reads weirdly.
