Plex/ Lightstrip (Hue)/ dynamically matching lights to TV picture

Hi All,

Im sure this could have been posted in many different locations, but here is a start.

I want to run plex on my samsung TV. I want have a lightstrip on the back of the TV, my current system is hue. I want to be able to select a movie in plex and have the light on the back of the TV to watch it. I have seen some apps that do this, but they seem to require you to have a phone monitoring the screen.

Currently I use plex thats an app on the samsung smart TV. I dont want to run on a laptop, but open to this running on a pine64 or rasp pi if there is a solution.

Best
Neil

I bookmarked this some time ago because I thought it would be interesting, if I ever got around to doing it. It may be what you’re looking for.

Thanks for the link. I think this is great for dimming the lights, might give it a go.

However, I wanted to be able to match the lights to whats playing on the screen and change colour etc…

They talk about color in that thread, so maybe someday. As far as I know, that’s all anyone has done WRT Plex and Hue.

Fingers crossed! :smiley:

You’d have been better buying a Philips Ambilight TV :smiley:
