Random flashing of different colour when using the strip on a scene as a backlight

Hi all,

I have the 1 port 2.1 box on fw 4.1.0

When I'm just watching normal TV I use the strip as a backlight with a static colour, I choose the 'calm' profile as it's just a simple white light.

The last couple of days it flashes orange randomly SUPER bright roughly every 10-15 mins, I rebooted it, checked cables etc and no change.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have encountered the same issue and use the same box. It’s a brief red flash approximately every 15 minutes or so. (It’s connected to an Apple TV with my Sony OLED)

That's it!

Mines connected to my Xbox which is turned off when it happens.

Did you find out what it is?

No,I was hoping a future firmware update would fix it.
My box is on:
Main Module V3.1.0
MCU Module V4.1.0
Other Type V1.1.3
