Hi, first of all, i've read the news that svn is frozen for new features, however, i'd like to come up with this new feature, because I think a discussion about it can help improve this and so maybe, when atlantis is out, it can make it to the svn.
So I created a ticket here: http://www.xbmc.org/trac/ticket/4551
This patch adds the ability to use LEDs, connected to your SmartXX Modchip, in a way that is quite similar to the Philips Ambilight system (besides the fact that we can utilize only one single channel). If you watch a game of soccer, the rgb-Led would turn most of the time green, by watching an action movie, during an explosion, the rgb would go red-orange, just to make this behaviour clear.
By default it is disabled, to enable it, you have to change your advancedsettings.xml (details, see ticket). I had to change the settings.cpp to utilize this, I hope this is ok, in general I tried to change as less as possible in the source (its my first contribution so please regard this )
I'm looking forward for your feedback
greetings
