## Description

Ambient Light Application offers an innovative solution for adaptive background lighting on Android TV devices, enhancing your viewing experience by reducing eye fatigue and extending the visual area. This technology dynamically adjusts TV backlighting to complement your screen content, compatible with TV apps excluding protected content platforms like Netflix and YouTube.

The app supports three modes: Single Color Mode for steady ambient lighting perfect for night ambiance; Color Effect Mode that cycles through preset dynamic color effects; and Screen Capture Mode, which adapts the backlight according to the colors displayed on screen. Easy to use on Android OS 5.1 and above, this extension brings immersive lighting effects directly to smart TVs, without needing a PC.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's effective ambient light functionality with non-DRM apps, ease of setup, and compatibility with Nvidia Shield and Android TV boxes. However, common complaints include lack of support for DRM-protected streaming services, app stability issues including crashing and lag, repeated USB permission prompts, and LED flickering or harsh transitions. Some users find the configuration process confusing, especially regarding WS2811 LED strips. Overall, while the app is praised for its core function with allowed content, performance and accessibility issues limit usability for some.

### Pros

- Works well with non-DRM content like Plex, Kodi, YouTube, games, and TV UI.
- Good compatibility with common Android TV boxes and Nvidia Shield devices.
- Easy to set up with LED strips and Arduino boards, especially when configured correctly.
- Produces immersive ambient lighting for movies and general screen content.
- User interface is simple and functional, with useful features like color effects and twinkle mode.

### Cons

- Screen capture does not work with DRM-protected streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, leading to no ambient lighting during protected content playback.
- App frequently crashes or causes other apps to crash on some devices, especially after newer updates.
- USB permissions reset after TV/device sleep or restart, requiring manual re-authorization each time, which is annoying.
- LED responsiveness can be harsh or stutter during color transitions; lacks smoothing or adjustable transition settings.
- Instructions for WS2811 LED strips can be confusing, causing setup difficulties for some users.
