Partial The WLED UDP output and the color-sampling logic are straightforward, and a companion UI is easy to vibe-code. Capturing the TV's decoded video plane from Tizen is the hard piece, since it depends on undocumented platform internals.
What it would actually take: The stack is a Tizen web or native app packaged for Samsung TVs that accesses decoded frame data, then downsamples it into zones and sends UDP packets to WLED. The critical unknown is how to read real frames from the video plane on Tizen without a capture card, which likely requires reverse engineering of the TV's platform APIs and firmware-specific behavior. Achieving low latency also takes a developer who understands video pipelines and Tizen internals.
