Hi,
I would like to know how to learn my self and program my self a FASTLED Driver for my TV project?
Please tell us more about your TV. We need to know more to help u
If I remember correctly isn’t it an Ambilight style project?
The very reason I found FastLED was when I made an Ambilight to hook up to my XBMC media pc. The trouble with this method though is that it only worked with XBMC.
I believe you had a kickstarter project that would take hdmi, much more useful.
If you need help I am more than happy?
@Aaron_Liddiment I think it is about this project: https://plus.google.com/+NicholasSangineto/posts/Kd2e3G7iFEt
Yes that is correct. I was 8 months in China. Kickstarter blocked there. now ia m back. Wuld like to finish that beautiful project with big potential
One important question - do you have a solution for working around HDCP? Without that, you won’t be able to work with any protected content coming off of devices (e.g. blu-ray players, pretty much any of the media boxes and media services, etc… not sure about game consoles).
(It’s not enough to have HDMI support - you can support HDMI without supporting HDCP - there are ways to hack around HDCP, recovering keys, using hacked/released keys, etc… - but if you do that in a product you are manufacturing and shipping you open yourself up to lawsuits - there’s a licensing path you can go through to get HDCP keys)
Our device need to be compatilble with the TV protected content.
http://www.digital-cp.com will probably have a lot of the information that you will need in order to get HDCP support. This is likely to be a fairly involved process. http://www.edn.com/design/consumer/4338632/HDCP-what-it-is-and-how-to-use-it gives a nice summary of it.
The software will just catch the data from the device. The device can be any device that with an input and output the hdmi port. and compatible HDCP. but offcourse I need to double check. because not all the device work with that . And anyway I want create my own device. It is under development. A prototype.
With HDCP encryption, your device won’t be able to sit in between my blu-ray player and my TV to get screen/color data unless your device has the HDCP encryption keys - that’s the whole point of HDCP, to make it difficult to put a device between what’s playing the content (say, a blu-ray player) and what’s showing it (your TV) all in the name of preventing copying.
So, if you haven’t gotten an HDCP license, you aren’t going to have those keys, and you aren’t going to have something that works with much of anything (Roku, Apple TV, blu-ray players, most game consoles, etc… all use HDCP to protect their content).
Yes it can. I think I have more experience than you in that field. I worked for ambx UK with the President of ambx UK for 1 year and after that decided to start develop my own device.
