I just finished building my ambient light board from a diagram from amblone but for some reason they dont work UNLESS you check off "Use a fullscreen rather than a true fullscreen". Was wondering if anyone else has issues with there lights if they have any?

Thanks.

I tried this to, and as with you, I need to use the fullscreen windows. This is fine with me, but i get 10 lps and that´s way to low to make it look smooth and awsome
Got a Amd 2,4 GZ with an ATI 4600. Should just be enough I though...
It was a fun little hobby project though. Arduino is fun

From the Ambiclone FAQ:

"The reason why the video colours are not detected is probably because your media player is using hardware acceleration. This technology causes the image to bypass the conventional way graphics are handled, and takes a 'shortcut' to the GPU. For this reason, the screen image cannot be accessed by the Amblone software, and hence the colours cannot be extracted."

Maybe this is part of the problem?

The idea is excellent though, would be a nice wee project to tackle at some point.

Lucky for me, my 47 inch phillips tv is made with ambient light so it just works

do a search for "ambilight" or "boblight" and that should get you where you need to go...
