Keep in mind that not all TVs or computer monitors support CEC. Try at your own risk (or do some research to see if yours does.)

At the moment, the limit is global, as you’ve noticed. So you’ll have to figure out how to break it up on a per-calendar basis and figure out how to manage each one, how to determine if the user wants a global, or individual, how the individual one is setup, which calendar it applies to, etc., etc. Or maybe you will come up with a whole different method … :)

Not to mention a fast processor to be able to process the video and change colors on the fly like that.

Over yonder …

What’s the rest of the config block look like?
