LG C2 42’ with the Govee T2 backlight!

thought this looks cool for the tech demo but after check it out with a movie demo it looks like it could be a distraction when watching movies since your eyes will be less focus on the movies and distracted by the changing colors on the wall. https://github.com/TBSniller/piccap

First Ambilight project (RPi 3B+ running HyperHDR). It took a LOT of hours but I'm pretty happy with the results!

Alright. You should check out Hyperion on webOS (which is a video grabber for webOS and PicCap for a user-friendly UI. This solution does require that you root your webOS tho, which I can't do at the moment because my TV got the latest software update that patched the root exploit method. I'm definitely going to try it when possible and see how it works!

Our "killer app" thus far, in terms of useful things that actually require root, is PicCap [1] - which enables low-latency framebuffer capture for DIY Ambilight systems.
In the just-for-fun department, you can replace the default screensaver animation with a bouncing DVD logo. [2]
You can see a list of currently available homebrew apps here: https://repo.webosbrew.org/apps/
You can also block telemetry, updates, etc. (without relying on something like a pihole).

Tried using RPiPlay on Pi 3B+, Avahi issues
1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 23 Jan 2023

After following all the instruction on the RPiPlay github, I seem to have been able to build RPiPlay on my Pi. This is what I did:
Using PiKVM to remote access a mobile device (Android/iPhone etc.)

I would be a dream if PiKVM can implement an AirPlay mirroring server like https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay.

Nice, I’d love to install software such as rpiplay [0] to mirror my iOS device, also would be nice to maybe gain some kind of low-latency wireless Linux-compatible screen share server.

An open-source implementation of an AirPlay mirroring server for the Raspberry Pi. The goal is to make it run smoothly even on a Raspberry Pi Zero.
