Hue Stream 0.8.4

The Hue Stream application extends the Hue Sync desktop experience to Android devices, including TV platforms. This application leverages the entertainment API to deliver near-instantaneous color streaming to Philips Hue lights, enabling a seamless synchronization of screen content with ambient lighting.

Users will find the application straightforward to operate. It requires a simple process of discovering the Hue Bridge, selecting a preferred entertainment group, and initiating the stream with the Start button. Hue Stream functions effectively in the background, allowing users to engage in gaming or viewing activities on their Android devices without interruption.

However, it is important to note that the application does not support external video inputs, such as HDMI connections, and is designed solely for use with Android applications.

For optimal performance, users are encouraged to utilize the official Philips Hue app to establish their entertainment setups. Proper placement of lights within this setup is crucial, as it determines which areas of the screen will inform the color extraction process.

Key considerations include:

• Compatibility is limited to the second generation Hue Bridge.
• Content protected by DRM is not supported (e.g., Netflix).
• Precautions should be taken by individuals with epilepsy when using this app.
• The app should be excluded from battery optimization settings.
• External video inputs, such as HDMI, are not supported.
