a major question regarding compatibility…please

i've done my research on ambilight-clone. one questions i have is which system will work for my setup.

my main usage is OSX for Plex/movies and dual boot with win8 for gaming. no XBMC. all of which are wired via HDMI to a TV

Arduino setup relies on a computer to do the processing, which isn't what i want.
VS.
RPI does all the processing and Ambi-tv/Hyperion has HDMI "pass-thru", which is what i want.

will the RPI+Ambi-tv/Hyperion route works with my setup? Since all my research only shows RPI being use with XBMC; capturing video stream ONLY, rather than screen grabs of the monitor

Since the HDMI conversion/Pass thru method is suppose to work with ANY HDMI input, and i'm using HDMI out for my computer.

just want to know this before i jump in
thank you!

Yes, this will work for you. Personally I have used velcro to attach the components to the back of my TV such that anything plugged into Input 1 will be ambilight-enabled. :-) Works great!

Great to hear. Thank you for replying

hi,
with the new Raspberry Pi Model B+ board, do we need to change anything to make it work?
starting to put together a shopping list, and i notice the new board is announced.
thanks

Nope. According to the official announcement the changes are only at a board level, the CPU and everything else remain the same. 😄
