1. Ambient light Application for Android is one of the few programs for Android based devices that allows you to implement Ambient light backlighting directly on your smart TV with no need of PC.
2. The implementation of such a feature on the Android TV set-top box or Android TV based on Android OS above 5. 1 (Lollipop) is now possible using the Ambient light Application for Android program.
3. The backlight works only in Android OS applications that do not use protected content. 4K performance depends only on the capabilities of the equipment.
4. SINGLE COLOR MODE – his mode allows you to include all the backlighting with one color selected in the program settings.
5. The picture from the TV tuner is not processed at the Android OS level, the backlight with regular tv channels will not work.
6. Adaptive background lighting Ambient light, without exaggeration, an amazing technology.
7. Ambient light is applicable not only to video and photo content, but also to games.
8. Unfortunately, programs such as YouTube and Netflix use protected content, the backlight in such programs will not work.
9. Dynamic backlighting can change colors, depending on which preset effect you have selected in the settings.
10. COLOR EFFECT MODE – This is the mode for displaying color effects.
11. This may not work properly on the latest Android 9 Xiaomi firmwares.
1. I then tried the lights in twinkle mode and all was good, it was looking really promising so I moved on to the next step and selected screen capture... again all seemed to be going well! until I opened up netflix and all of the lights went out, next I tried it on normal digital tv, again the lights went out :( It appears that what you end up with is a fancy control to make pretty patterns around the screen but not actually an ambilight for watching films and tv etc.
2. It would be great if the dev can add MQTT feature to remotely control the light when the TV is off.I agree it works extremely well on Nvidia Shield! One question though, can you lower the intensity of the lights when using the "single color mode"? No matter which level I change to in "Color Brightness", the brightness stays the same, which is full.
3. If by some chance the programmer comes back to me and can advise what the problem is and get if fixed then my rating will be changed, for now its next to useless for me on my Sony Bravia Android TV (which was selected from the list of devices on playstore so should be compatible) UPDATE the programer has commented below that the application is not really designed to do what I need, if you are looking for something for third party integration it could be fine for you.Really great app! I was looking up Hue HDMI sync box and came across this app and it just saved me a fortune when I just got some D1 mini and strips laying around.
4. Not working.after this year update.capture mode no longer works.application just hangs.other modes work only for a couple of seconds.
5. Mi TV 4s Android 918/6 update made this app not working anymore for capture mode and color effect mode.
6. screen capture is not working.When I finally managed to get it to communicate with the board and the lights and it flashed up the connected sequence I thought all was well.
7. It does work when level is changed in the "screen capture mode".
8. It seems like a bug with the screen capture, since changing the capture settings (like frame rate or capture quality) will affect when/where it flickers but it won't get rid of it completely.
9. I don't think it is an issue with my setup, because if I do "color effect mode", it will never flicker.
10. single color mode works fine.
11. My only wish is that you could set a transition/smoothing time for the LEDs responsiveness, because sometimes they will flicker based on what's on the screen.
