Ambient light

Hi all,

As seen on many websites i want to create ambient light on my tv using the raspberry pi.
The whole setup as in wiring and soldering should not be a problem as the explanation is very clear, the programming i have to see when i have the setup (waiting for last parts).

Now my question:
It recently came to my mind that this ambient light will not work while watching regular tv, is this correct?

How nice would it be to also have this ambient light working while watching tv and playing xbox instead of only when watching movie through Pi media center.

As i do not have everything yet to make the setup i havent really focussed on this but better sooner than later :)

If the only input signal for creating the ambilight is the decoded videofile on the Pi, then yes you are correct.

Is there a way to make it possible to make the tv giving the input signal for creating the ambilight?
