To eleminate flickering of the LEDs You must connect the LEDs and the pi to the same power source. I wouldnt try 9V but instead 5V@4-10A. Because 900mA sounds very...

Something about the power: "Typically, the model B uses between 700-1000mA depending on what peripherals are connected and the model A can use as little as 500mA with no peripherals...

Well, i can't explain it, like most of the guys around this project can't. I've tried it, i've seen it and i solved it the way i told you. I'm...

Its not quite a solution for your problem (even though i had it too and solved it by retrying with the debian 2013-07-26). There are already some images (functioning) out...

No Problem at all. There are (for my knowledge there are two major LED stripes, that are mostly used (the LPD8806 and the WS2801 (names the chipset, as far is...

It is, no Arduino needed. Just hook em up like the LPD8806. Important is, if you need to use two different power supplys that you connect the ground of those....

Those would be alright. If you don't need them immediatly it is always a good idea to look at: http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=ws2801&catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20131204115329 The order took around 30 days (that is the downside...

I forgot to mention that you should measure your TV so you dont buy to many of those, since they are not that cheap. ;) I took those kind of...

I took those because i can take influence on the density of those leds (even though its more work for). http://s21.postimg.org/6qqor30br/IMG_20131204_211601.jpg The Paperwork will be changed against some aluminium work...

You can use two different power supplys for either your raspian and your leds. Important is that you connect the ground of those two power supplies. If you do not...
