However I see that the density of led strips is higher - with 30 pcs/m I would need something like 90 leds for my 42" TV, is an overclocked raspberry capable of managing that many leds together with HD playback in XBMC?
it is, but I recommend you to use an arduino (mega or uno).
Why? I understood that having an arduino inbetween has no relevance to the load, as all the calculations are still to be done on the Pi anyway.
