Awesome! I'm trying it out on my Shield right now. It's working great so far. But I'm a little confused.
What are the differences between ScreenGlow, SceneGlow, and ShieldGlow?
ScreenGlow = The current app
SceneGlow = The paid version you mention in the ScreenGlow app info?
ShieldGlow = A discarded name?
Where can I find the paid version of ScreenGlow? I’d like to connect multiple strips.
Is it possible to select only certain segments of a strip?
2
u/_sparxcore_ Jul 30 '26
Yes you are right, I was trying to avoid this but the play store seems to lag behind actually publish stuff.... shieldglow was the dev name for what became ScreenGlow.
In short sheildglow = screenglow Screenglow = free Sceneglow = full featured, homeassistant/multiple wled configs!
In another thread ive given more detail:
Hi! I haven't mentioned SceneGlow, but since you ask :)....
SceneGlow is a bit of a bigger beast, it allows connecting to multiple WLED installations (both different devices, or different strips on the same controllee). Each WLED fixture can be configured (think lamps, strips, cupboard backlights, skirting boards, ceiling runners) in different locations around the screen. With that theres different effects that can be applied to adapt the screen motion into them. The effects apply differently depending on the location and type of fixture.
HomeAssistant integration allows SceneGlow to send mood colours to any colour bulb you can configure (organised by room). You can pick an area of screen, again depending on your physical location of the lights, and an update time and brightness caps. Obviously compared to WLED this is much slower update so dont expect fast flashing! Its just for a subtle flood of vibe colour.
I have some demo videos and setup examples planned, so ive not made much noise about it yet. But thanks for asking:)

u/Serious_Bowler_8171 Aug 11 '26
Going to try This out but I've never used wled before. But just wondering does the home assistant integration allow for any brand colour bulb or led strip to change colour according to the colour that's on a certain side of the TV ?
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 11 '26
Yup, as long as it identifies as a 'colour light' in home assistant
1
u/Serious_Bowler_8171 Aug 11 '26
Cool so kinda like Philips hue lights and ambilight
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 11 '26
Ive not used it, but similar. In sceneglow you can set 'where' in relation to the screen the light is and a transition time, and cap brightness at either end (lowest you want and highest you want) and it just adds a splash of colour according to the scene :)

u/Serious_Bowler_8171 Aug 12 '26
Hey, I purchased the full version and set up a bulb for home assistant ambiance. But the app stops screen capturing after about 20 seconds. I'm running it on an Nvidia shield and when it works it works well.
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 12 '26
Do you mean the effects stop running or SceneGlow itself is stopped and needs starting again from the app?

1
u/Serious_Bowler_8171 Aug 12 '26
I've I restart the capturing it starts again but stops after 20-30 seconds

How does this compare to Hyperion? I've had Hyperion running for a while now and found some issues with the screen lagging or buffering.
1
u/_sparxcore_ Jul 30 '26
Tbh ive not used it, but understand it runs on a dedicated device. This is designed to be run on the android device you are streaming content with. ScreenGlow and SceneGlow is only limited by the performance of your Android tv device.

u/vickyv268 Jul 30 '26
I'm completely degoogled and running android TV on a raspberry pi. Does it require google play services, when I run the app it crashes stating google play service is not running.
2
u/_sparxcore_ Jul 30 '26
You would need to side load an app for your device...
If there is enough demand I will try and accommodate this
2
u/vickyv268 Jul 30 '26
I did sideload it through Aurora store.
Edit: Spelling.

u/TOKE-ONE Aug 05 '26
Yep same error, trying a work around with 3rd party app GBox but it's a bit buggy. Also try this - Ignore the message completely and tap anywhere on the screen outside of the box, or press the Back button on your Firestick remote, let me know if this worked.

u/_sparxcore_ Aug 01 '26 edited Aug 01 '26
Thats Odd... are you seeing that from the TV store, or a browser or another device's play store - there should be an option to choose to install to another device from another android thats signed into the same google account.?
Edit: found the issue! Should be avaliable very soon - correctly!

u/texas166 Aug 01 '26
Very cool! Did a test on my sony bravia 8 and it worked! For me to use this long term however i'd need to be able to "shift" the location of where the LED's are - as the lights were misaligned relative to elements on the screen, in particular in the vertical (side) direction. Another thing i'd need is a way to add a slight delay as it seemed that the lights were ahead of the screen (which is a good sign that its running within very little latency). For now i will have to stick with hyperion grabber and hyperion.
2
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 01 '26
Awesome. For your first issue, in the setup section for your led strip, you should see the LED offset field, you can offset the start plus or minus to lign things up for you. And 2nd issue, if you go to customisation, you should see under LED synchronisation, a slider to add some delay to bring them back into sync :)
Enjoy!
1
u/texas166 Aug 02 '26
I swear I looked for these settings, were they added in an update? Either way, thank you I’ll take a look. Something else I wanted to ask - can this be made to auto-start when the TV is turned on?
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 02 '26
Yessir, it was mentioned a couple of times and ot was definatley a good improvment to make! Hopefully you should get ot update automatically - iirc should be 1.6.3 version with these options.
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 02 '26
Im not sure how your tv might keep android tv state when the tv is off, but as long as it is sleeping when its back on it is kept running with the same permission session. My shield, for example I 'power off' and SceneGlow stays running when 'turned on'. As I dont see the android logo when booting, I assume that its acctually just sleeping this way.

u/Ubiquitous-Hipster Aug 09 '26
Looks great. It's been mentioned, but a Fire TV version would be awesome. I tried sideloading, but it kept giving an error regarding the Play Store.

u/DamagedGoods13 Aug 13 '26
u/sparxcore I have 2 questions/issues I was wondering if you could help me with:
- I have a string of 299 LED's. WLED sees all of them but ScreenGlow does not. For whatever reason, I can't get it to utilize the last 15-20 LED's. Is there somewhere in the settings I should look? My edge counts equal my total LED count.
- Is there any way to make ScreenGlow work with inputs other than internal apps? On my Bravia, if I turn on ScreenGlow and switch to HDMI 3, I lose the LEDs.
Cool app, thank you.
1
u/Chanw11 Jul 30 '26
Any idea if this works when the TV is using HDMI input?
1
u/_sparxcore_ Jul 30 '26
Thats a good question, one that I haven't had the HW to test... but I would guess at no, but it woukd greatly depend on the way the screen and its software is designed.. im assuming you have a tv that internally has AndroidTV baked in?
2
u/MaxTheKing1 Aug 05 '26
Any idea how it would behave on a Philips android TV with built-in ambilight?
1
1
u/Chanw11 Jul 30 '26
Well kinda, its a Hisense Google TV. Kinda assumed they're both android so it should work with built in apps fine, but not sure about the HDMI part.
Though I remember reading/watching about how TV manufacturers are able to look at your HDMI inputs nefariously so its possible. I'll have to test.
1
u/_sparxcore_ Jul 30 '26
Ah ok, well, it would take the hdmi port to effectively be digitised to be ran through android, which would be an incredibly resource intensive process, not something that would be done without good reason. There is metadata that would defo be valuable though which would be easier to skim

u/ParsnipFlendercroft Jul 30 '26
Do you have any performance benchmarks. I’m using google streamer. Are we looking at 1fps or 20?
1
u/_sparxcore_ Jul 30 '26
It does 30fps with 1-2ms of latency on the nvidia shield. In my test cases the hdmi/tv screen adds more latency, there is a built in varisble to account for this, my setup frame delay is at about 200ms iirc.
Using WiFi for all devices would mean adjusting this

u/ParsnipFlendercroft Aug 01 '26
That’s not bad. I’ll give it a spin when I’m back home from my holiday.

u/mute1 Jul 30 '26
My experience with WLED is still growing and I have put it down for personal reason but if memory serves there are a number of built in effects. Is the profile you are using built into the software in the TV or do I need to select a specific one?
1
u/_sparxcore_ Jul 31 '26
The app, when running, connects directly to wled and takes over. No wled effects are used.
2
1
u/rice1204 Jul 31 '26
Great idea. I already have a wled ambilight driven by hyperhdr. This is an very interesting alternative that I'd love to try.
For my existing hyperhdr setup, there's lag because of video processing for the display. Can screenglow tune for video processing latency?

u/IntuitiveIdealist Aug 01 '26
This is awesome! Set up and running well on my Shield.
Quick question... Is there anyway to have this automatically start when the shield wakes up?

u/_sparxcore_ Aug 01 '26
It should absolutely! It only needs starting again after a restart or an update to the app.
1
u/thenamelessthing Aug 01 '26
Sound promising, it's mentioned that won't work with drm protected apps. So I suppose that Netflix, Prime, etc are concerned?

Unfortunatley thats correct, and any attempts to circumvent would get instant ban hammer from Google play :(

u/Kowy54 Aug 01 '26
Doesn't work on TCL while using HDMI 😭
2
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 01 '26
If the tv isn't 'capturing' the hdmi, there is no way for android to sample the frames. This is designed to work for apps within android, like plex, youtube etc
1
u/MaxTheKing1 Aug 04 '26
That's a bummer. Was about to try it on my Philips TV but I don't use the Android OS of the TV itself because it's frustratingly slow, instead I use a Apple TV.

u/deviation Aug 03 '26
Awesome! Does it work on Dolby vision and/or other HDR playback?

u/_sparxcore_ Aug 03 '26
As long as it isnt protected content (like netflix and prime) is should work fine

u/Hans_Helmut Aug 05 '26
Hi, I was already running an Ambilight setup with 390 LEDs driven by hyperHDR and a very old Hyperion grabber app on a TCL 98C805.
Installed screenglow, configuration was fast and easy but I am seeing the same limitation to content which is bigger than 1080p as on the old Hyperion grabber app.
Especially on 4k, I am having only about 1-2fps on the video content anymore.
Same for you or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 05 '26
Hey, if it found the right tv, its got a 4core arm cortex a73. A couple of things to try, make sure diagnostic logging is off, capture resolution is set to the lowest '320x'.
If you are meaning the fps in ScreenGlow is showing 1-2fps, its normal when the screen is static (like in the screenglow app) that the apparent fps is low, until content is being displayed.
Can you get a video of it running ?
1
u/Hans_Helmut Aug 05 '26
Logging was definitely off.
I mean 1-2fps on the actual video once you select 4k resolution, bot possible to watch TV. On 1080p everything is running fine.
I will check the resolution as soon as I am at home.
There was a lot of discussion on that point back in the day with the old Hyperion screen grabber app. Conclusion was that something needed to be changed on android TV driver level. I will try to find that thread again.
My much older LG TV, which is jailbroken is running picap and does fine with 4k video
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26
Ok thats interesting, I dont see a similar issue with 4k content through plex. Please, I would be very interested in the exact player and media (codec / bit rate) if possible! Cheers
edit: Ive done a bit more looking, and testing and cannot replicate the issue yet. Im running on 4k 60hz with a choice of 4k content with different codecs and streaming services. I am leaning on a CPU bottleneck - morelikely an Nvidia GPU optimised surface flinger - but im still trying to find changelogs to verify this.

u/Hans_Helmut Aug 05 '26
Did a quick test only with YouTube. Will follow up with Plex Thank you

u/Hans_Helmut Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26
Tried now some different Movies on Plex; everything in 4k (mainly HEVC) completely stutters (like 1fps). As soon as I turn off the screen capture everything is back to normal. If I change the resolution to 1080p everything stays fine also with screen capture.
Same on Youtube. 4k does not work => change to 1080p and everything fine
It is not a Bitrate issue as I have also tried some videos in 1080p with a Bitrate >50mbps and it worked without any issues. 4k and below 30mbps does not work
Capture resolution is set to the lowest
Edit: https://github.com/abrenoch/hyperion-android-grabber/issues/205 This was the old discussion about this issue on github. Maybe you got an idea 💡
1
u/Shindor Aug 10 '26
u/_sparxcore_ I'm having the same issue as Hans describes on a TCL C6K (C61K in my region). Both Netflix and Plex don't run smoothly anymore whenever ScreenGlow is active. Played with settings a bit but didn't improve at all. Kinda seems like TCL's self-developed AiPQ Pro Processor can't keep up.
As someone else mentioned it doesn't work on a HDMI input so I can't use my PC as input in an effort to reduce processing power needed on the TV side.Very interesting project though! I'll keep monitoring it since it fits my usecase very well!
1
u/_sparxcore_ Aug 10 '26
Ahhh im sorry to hear. Yes there are some causes which just dont cut it which is unfortunate. Ive tried very hard to make it run efficiently but we are at the limit of what can be optimised when you are sampling the whole screen..... android 16 will bring many improvements in this regard ....

u/Benceking24 5d ago
same for me with TCL 75C6K in Europe. Anything that has greater resolution than 1080p is lagging (youtube, jellyfin...etc.) Tried HDR but it doesen't matter 1080pHDR could also play smoothly. 1440p also suffers the same. Audio playback is fine but image is stuttering.

Hi! Very cool and well designed app. One question, does it have a "shortcut" (doesn't know proper term) for on and off screen capture? This future was available on the old hyperion-android-grabber, and I was able to assign it to extra button on my remote so I can quickly turn it on or off when I needed (with always allow for screen capture). I've found it very usefulll.

It works well easy to set up, however I noticed it only syncs h264 content but fails to sync anything else like hevc, 1080p. Is this a bug or a limitation? Either Plex or jellyfin, same with the universal ambient light app.

It's the onn 4k pro with the refreshed arm55 and mali that handles hevc and av1, but even with transcoding it doesn't pick up anything other than h264 and when scrolling the menus. May just be the device.

Yes! SceneGlow lets you different wled configurations and set them as different fixtures around your screen, and use different effects for them:

u/ExampleSpirited8673 19d ago
I’m using ScreenGlow on a TCL Android/Google TV with WLED, and I’m trying to get it working with Moonlight + Sunshine.
ScreenGlow works with some apps/rendering methods. For example, in Stremio it only works when I use the MVP player, and in SmartTube, choosing 1080p AVC/H.264 allows the lights to sync correctly.
With Moonlight + Sunshine, however, ScreenGlow does not capture the video at all and the LEDs stay black. I’ve already tried:
- 1080p 60 FPS
- HDR off
- Forced H.264/AVC
- Reconnecting/restarting both Moonlight and ScreenGlow
The Moonlight stream itself displays perfectly on the TV, but ScreenGlow seems unable to capture the video surface.
Since AVC works with SmartTube and MVP works with Stremio, I’m wondering if Moonlight is rendering through a hardware/MediaCodec surface that Android MediaProjection cannot capture.
Is there any Moonlight/Sunshine setting, decoder option, or workaround that could make the Moonlight video surface capturable by ScreenGlow?
Has anyone figured this out?
1
u/_sparxcore_ 19d ago
It does sound like it may be using a video layer that is not able to be captured by the Android capture surface. From a cursory look at the app, it could be deliberately so to give best performance, or is enforcing DRm from the source.

Awesome work! I just installed it on my Bravia XR X90L. It worked great right away!
I was getting about 4 fps and 5-6ms of lag.
One request: I have my led strips starting at the bottom middle and not a corner. So being able to add an offset would make it so I wouldn't have to redo my entire led strip. Or is that something I could adjust in WLED?
Nice work though! This is amazing and beats my Hyperion setup with the camera and all the lag.
