I have the same issue and I think it's a restriction of the Sony TV itself, I think it is DRM thing, but if there is a way round this I'd be happy to test
I think @Joeboyc2 is right. I have only done some light research into this but it appears it may be a hardware DRM thing. If nearly all video behaves the same, then I would wager it is something along those lines. I'm skeptical even rooting would help here.
I've got a lot of feedback about the sony smart tvs and unfortunately this is a common theme... If anybody has any ideas that we could try out other than using the MediaProjection
API I would love to hear them.
I've discovered recently that the lights actually work in the youtube app on android tv when the video is not a HD quality.
Is it something to do with the quality level of the screen?
@Joeboyc2 I think it is something more nuanced with DRM and the GPU itself. When hardware decoding is being used on certain devices it seems to protect the screen content.
Interesting observation though!
Hi, I'm running this grabber (very good project) on a Minix X8-H plus with Lollipop 5.1. The hyperion master is on a PI3. The proto are well sent when I play video from KODI 17.6. Sounds good. Then on the main screen on the lollipop os, when I navigate, the image is still transmitted to the master. It is also the case when I run Netflix, 'till I navigate on the app ambilight is working, but As soon as I play a Netlfix video, the grabber stop to work. I didn't try others video player.
Hope that this DRM issue could be solved soon... Thanks for the great job !

For the main discussion on drm-protected content. (verdict at this moment: won't fix)
Its a player problem. Youtube, Netflix, Prime won't work. Kodi, VLC, or Mx Player works very well but unfortunately even emby won't work..
I'm running this on a Sony XF80 with android tv. It works while I'm in the home screen, browsing menus, etc. In some apps, it works while browsing their interface too (Google video, Amazon video for example). In other apps, it doesn't work even in their menus (BBC iPlayer fro example) And for pretty much all apps I tried, The lights don't work for the video that is playing. Same thing about YouView player for watching TV. The only exception I found to work was Plex.
