This addon is meant to replace boblight-X11.
Boblight-X11 uses the whole screen for led color, it also computes led color in menu and outside xbmc. Black bars are not detected and only the side will have color if you watch a 21:9 video.
Xbmc addon, computes led color only on the video rendering. It means that it displays static color in xbmc menu and ignores video ratio -> black bars are ignored.
But It does not detect hard encoded black bars, it will treat them as video and display black color on leds.
By the way, I was wondering if this could change in the future with an option like if xx% of the screen is black just ignore it.
