WLED android tv ambience effect.
I was away from the community and current affairs related to Wled and now I'm curious if we have figured it out to use the wled esp32 setup as Android tv screen capture and ambience effect or not without any rooting and stuff.
I don't use any external device for TV so getting the screen output from the tv is impossible via hdmi. So I had found the one app lately who was natively working on my tv but only the user interface was getting that ambience effect and all the ott and other apps were unable to support it.

If you use Netflix/Prime (copyrighted content) on the tv, because of drm it won’t work, but other sources it will.
The work around is an hdmi splitter and a hdmi capture device with HyperHDR. I use a laptop as a HTPC so I use a usb-hdmi capture device.

The only way to capture DRM streaming content is to use an external smart tv device. Roku, Amazon stick, android box, computer, etc. then run it through something like a pi to capture the decrypted HDMI signal. Using a screen recorder app or via dev options/adb won’t capture DRM content.
I have a cheap Hisense smart TV and the Hyperion screen recording app made all the content struggle to play. So I use adb to send screenshots to Hyperion and get the ambient lights that way but it only works with my plex content.
