Description by vasmarfas Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Key Features:
Screen Grabber: Captures screen content in real-time to sync LEDs with your video.
Hyperion Support: Fully compatible with Hyperion (NG) servers over the network.
USB Control: Direct support for Adalight LED controllers via USB connection.
Android TV Ready: Optimized interface for TVs and remote controls.
Low Latency: High-performance color processing for smooth lighting effects.
No Root Required: Works on standard Android firmware (Android 5.0+).
Important Note:
Due to Android system protections (DRM), screen capture may not work within certain streaming apps (like Netflix). This is a system limitation, not an app bug.
The app is completely free, open-source, and contains no ads.
Optional Accessibility Service Usage:
To ensure compatibility with devices where the standard MediaProjection API is unavailable or malfunctioning, this app offers an optional Screen Capture mode using the AccessibilityService API.
Purpose: This service is used exclusively to analyze screen colors for the Ambilight effect.
User Control: This is an optional feature and is disabled by default. It can be manually enabled in the app settings only if needed.
Privacy: We do not collect, store, or monitor any personal data, typed text, or user interactions. The API is used solely for real-time visual processing.
Recent changes:
- Direct LED layout test: in LED Layout each side of the strip lights up in its own color, capture does not need to run.
- The home screen shows Starting until the output is ready, and capture keeps running while the app reconnects.
- E1.31 without an address now goes to multicast instead of the TV itself.
- The LED layout preview now matches the segments the capture reads.
- Fixed a crash in the effect preview.
