Overscan 1.2.2 (prerelease)

Overscan syncs Philips Hue lights with the picture on a Samsung Tizen TV. Everything runs on the TV: no sync box or computer during playback.

This is a prerelease. See the testing status below before installing.

What's new since 1.2.0

• Sync continues during protected video. Some TVs refuse screen capture while a copy-protected stream plays, so the lights faded out, for example during Netflix on a 2022 Frame. Overscan now follows the TV's own color sampler until capture is allowed again. Colors are coarser than normal capture while this lasts.
• The menu says when a TV cannot be captured. Home shows Capture unavailable if the TV's software does not offer the capture interface Overscan uses, and No picture if the TV is not sharing the current app or input.

Full details are in the changelog.

Testing status

• 2022 Frame LS03B (Tizen 6.5) and 2019 Frame LS03R (Tizen 5.0): 1.2.2 installed on November 13, 2026. The lights followed Netflix and Disney+ on both, and the menu did not report No picture. The full device checklist is not complete yet.
• Other TVs: unverified. Screen capture varies by model and firmware, and a TV may not offer the color sampler, so installing successfully does not mean sync will work. Test reports are welcome in Issues.

Overscan 1.2.0 (prerelease)

Overscan syncs Philips Hue lights with the picture on a Samsung Tizen TV. Everything runs on the TV: no sync box or computer during playback.

This is a prerelease. See the testing status below before installing.

What's new in 1.2.0

• A new lighting-themed menu across Home, the Room, Color and Response pickers, Help and pairing/reset, with a new launcher icon.
• A response setting for how the lights follow the picture: Output-clocked (the default), Current, Direct and Fast (experimental). A TV that already saved a choice keeps it.
• Room previews show your Entertainment area's layout and light count where the bridge provides them.
• Captures that report an error or an unexpected size or format are skipped instead of sent to the lights.

Full details are in the changelog.

Testing status

• 2019 Frame LS03R (Tizen 5.0): 1.2.0 installed on October 26, 2026. The app launched, the menus displayed and sync ran during Netflix playback. The full device checklist is not complete yet.
• 2022 Frame LS03B: earlier versions synced; 1.2.0 has not been tested on it yet.
• Other TVs: unverified. Screen capture varies by model and firmware, so installing successfully does not mean sync will work. Test reports are welcome in Issues.
