I want to replace my philips hue strip with a better system... Can this work with the built in apps on my tv? Also I have a ps5, will this work on that as well?
My lg tv is model 75un7370

it wil capture hdmi input, but not the apps on the tv.
Well poop.
Easy enough otherwise though. Will still connect to ps5 and pc. I can live without the native Netflix and disney+ on TV...
Just Watch Netflix and disney on ps of pc.
The smart part of the tv just becomes unused
Yeah, could do it that way.... Just don't like having two devices on when 1 would do... But for the experience it's kind of very worth it.
or you can try the webcam as input solution
Definitely not a fan of the camera setups. I want it to be hidden behind the scenes and look as clean as possible. A camera will distract.
This is the only way to capture webos input (and don't need a "Hdmi 2.0 grabber/limiter" bewteen your shiny hdmi 2.1 PS5 and probably shiny LG CX or C1 with wen os TV).
You can have nice setup with camera :
It can be behind your couch fixed to wall with WLED.
If yu have a Pi, Leds and a spare cam you can give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by accuracy
for ps4 and ps5 you can also use the Android Grabber + Chiaki App and it'll give you a nice result.

Threadpi zero + webcam setupHere is my setup
- pi zero
- logitech c270 camera
- apa102 (only 80 leds)
- 4 meters cable between leds and pi zero
- woodeen frame
All made of spare part, on my older TV i had an hyperion setup with pi zero, usb grabber + splitter.
I changed because of two reasons…
- new TV, PS5, HDMI 2.1 : i didn't want compromise on HDMI flux and cheap 2.1 splitters doesn't exist
- Always add problems. sometimes grabber or splitter stop working for a second or mire. I restarded Hyperion instance 3 times a day. Sometime

What's the build materials list? I recall some time back there used to be kits you could buy...
I don't use special material, my camera is far from TV. the Solution is perfect.
you can watch this Thread, dinvlad is trying a setup with a fisheye camera:
you need the same materials as for a regular setup with the exception of the grabber and the HDMI switch/matrix since you can use a USB webcam to grab the image. Optional is an esp8266 tu run wled and control the LEDs. I am also using a webcam to run my Ambilight System and I am happy with the results. Using chiaki and the Android grabber you get even better results without losing HDR because chiaki does a good hdr/sdr conversion. You get a bit of lag, but it's the best you can do if you don't want to spend a lot of money on other devices.
luchow3cu I bought an esp8266 to add second led strip. Do you have a good beginner tutorial ?
I followed the tutorials from adafruit + the wiki from wled. I used the elements recommended from the adafruit best practices website.
https://learn.adafruit.com/neopixel-levelshifter
A 1000uF 10V (or higher) capacitor between the poles to smooth the voltage; a level shifter (74AHCT125) between esp8266 and LEDs; and a 330 ohm resistor before the first LED. Also I grounded the unused pins OE and A from the level shifter to avoid oscillations. I hope that is enough information. I can make a schematic of you are having troubles.
Here is a good video that explains the circuit
I used some other components from this video. Adafruit feather m0 -> Wemos D1 mini, Level Shifter TXB0108 -> 74AHCT125 (Recommend from the WLED Wiki). Take into consideration the different components have different PIN Layouts.
OK Thank you, I Will look at it. I remember you don't use apa102 led. Probable not the same scheme.
