Hey guys, need help. So I decided to purchase some Philips Hue lights during Black Friday for an amazing deal with the intention of having them provide ambiance in my living room based on the content that's displayed on my TV.
I thought this would be easy to accomplish due to the fact that there are many Android apps out there on the market that allow you sync the colours of your Philips Hue bulbs to the content that is displayed on your phone, and my television is an Android powered TV.
I got around to setting everything up, BUT here's the issue: All the Philips Hue compatible apps I have installed on my Android TV won't detect the colours of any video signals (e.g. HDMI inputs, Aerial etc). It only detects the colours of the TV's menu screens and changes the colour of the Philips Hue bulbs accordingly. Using ADB, I am able to take screenshots of my TV screen, but all I can see is the Android TV UI. No matter which input is selected on the TV, the video image isn't being picked up. I would understand if it was only the HDMI inputs (due to HDMI HDCP), but the antenna input too?! There must be a process running on the TV that prevents other apps from capturing content that is displayed on screen (I assume for copyright reasons). I just need to know how to disable it. I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions you may all have :) Thanks!
