Sync Philips Hue lights to your screen

[slangwanger 3]

Hello.

Would be great to have a philips hue ambilight plugin (Sync Philips Hue lights to your screen) to use with cinema mode something like ScreenBloom http://www.screenbloom.com/

I think it's a great idea for the future. Thanks.

This would be an awesome addition to Emby. I think alot would get Emby for sure if this feature existed :D

Just buy a Philips Ambilight TV which already does this ;-)

This would be a great addition.  I've tried some of the Hue addons from Kodi / MrMC and they work, but their Emby integration could be better.  I'd love for it to exist on the native AndroidTV or Apple TV apps.

I have just seen this add https://www2.meethue.com/en-us/p/hue-hdmi-sync-box-/046677555221

Might be useful to you guys

This would be great!

add my vote

but right now...

for my android TVs i use "Hue Essentials" app to sync app content to a "Hue Entertainment zone" 
this is only possible on the more powerful android TVs though, and you must load the app, then switch to your media app.

for windows PCs Phillips has a program "Hue Sync"

having the emby server do the processing of image color data, and creating the hue color sync data would take the CPU usage from the player device caused by apps like Hue Essentials, and make it possible on any device that plays emby.

the guys who make Hue Essentials also have a software defined hue bridge DIYhue

the sync function is built into their android app, which is not posted on github, but maybe if you ask them nicely for their sync code it could give a big jumpstart.
also maybe they could build in webhook functionality to integrate on supported devices.
