git clone --recursive https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion.git instead of the git clone https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion.git

Tell me how it goes. You might try this:
Build Hyperion on a separate device and move the files over to openelec.

I'll look into this more when I get a chance.

There it is:
http://bite-in.com/hyperion/Hyperion_OpenELEC_x64.tgz

It is x64 build only. Extract it to /storage/hyperion and run with:

Code:
/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/hyperion/config/hyperion.config.json

To autoran it add:

Code:
/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/hyperion/config/hyperion.config.json </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &

into /storage/.config/autostart.sh

Note:
You need this addon https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/wiki/XBMC-addon-(not-for-RPi)

Update2:
Now there is also a working hyperion-x11 included in the package. Just download again.
Also do not forget to read README file included in the package for command.

It's running fine on my Chromebox !

thank you sir. Tongue

if i wanna use the x11 file for light in menu, do i still need the boblight x11 or can i use the hyperioin-x11 in the bin folder?!

i tried both and non of them seems to work :/

this is my autostart file

Code:
/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/hyperion/config/hyperion.config.json </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &

DISPLAY=:0.0 /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-x11 -f -x > /dev/null 2>&1 &

edit: i tried i with the boblight-x11 from the openelec addon

RE: [Tutorial] Hyperion Ambilight on Linux and OpenELEC x64 - illiac4 - 2015-05-16

Ok now there is a working hyperion-x11 included in the package included in the openelec package.

I got hyperion to run on an openelec chromebox with a lightpack, but I think the led configuration is messed up. The first 5 led strips light up and change color, but the other 5 don't (one of the other 5 is stuck with red leds). I changed the default config to 30 leds (since each strip has 3 leds) hoping that'll work, but no...any suggestions?

RE: [Tutorial] Hyperion Ambilight on Linux and OpenELEC x64 - cavemandaveman - 2015-05-25

Finally figured it out! Had to change it to a 10 led set up.

This helped a lot.

Btw, what's the significance of the x-11 file?

RE: [Tutorial] Hyperion Ambilight on Linux and OpenELEC x64 - mind12 - 2015-05-25

Hello,

thank you for the guide. I compiled and made hyperion on a Ubuntu 14.04.2 x86 virtual machine,
but when I run hyperion with the default configuraiton it exits with the following error:

Code:
root@ubuntu-virtual-machine:/home/ubuntu# /usr/bin/hyperiond /etc/hyperion.config.json 

Application build time: May 25 2015 13:01:07

}

Any idea what is wrong?
Thank you!

spidev0.0 is only on pi.

This was easy, hyperion is now running using the proper configuration. Thank you for your help.

with the x-11 file, hyperion also work in the Kodi menu, otherwise it only work if you start a video file.

I try to make a remote key to disable/enable hyperion.

I found this code

Code:
#!/bin/sh

SERVICE='hyperiond'

if ps | grep -v grep | grep $SERVICE > /dev/null

then

killall hyperiond

curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params":{"title":"Hyperion","message":"Disabled","image":"/storage/hyperion/hyperion.png"}}' http://youropenelecip:8080/jsonrpc

else

/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/.config/hyperion.config.json </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &

curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params":{"title":"Hyperion","message":"Enabled","image":"/storage/hyperion/hyperion.png"}}' http://youropenelecip:8080/jsonrpc

fi

but I cant make it work, any hint to get it woking on Openelec?

If I would like to use X11 for the menu etc, how can I compile and configure it under Ubuntu?

RE: [Tutorial] Hyperion Ambilight on Linux and OpenELEC x64 - b0mb - 2015-05-29

What´s the difference between the normal binary and the x11 one?

Btw. after installing my new arduino yesterday i wasn´t able to get hyperion running on isengard so i figured out that i first had to install kodibuntu 14.0, compile hyperion and upgrade to isengard to get it work. Wink

RE: [Tutorial] Hyperion Ambilight on Linux and OpenELEC x64 - illiac4 - 2015-05-29

x11 can also render menu light the normal one just when video is playing.
