Hey guys,

After several attempts i finally managed to compile hyperion and create the hyperion binaries but i'm struggling with getting the startup and the config file in place.
I'm using FileZilla to connect to the KODIbuntu computer but when i try to move the files from my windows pc to the directories on the KODI-pc i'm getting a permission error, and i have no idea how to solve this?

Have tried to get my Lightpack running with the Lightpack plugin and the XBMC Boblight plugin without success, now I want give Hyperion a try.
After entering
cmake -DENABLE_DISPMANX=OFF
I get the following:

Any ideas?

[patrickstam]

@Protheon
Did u use the: git clone --recursive https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion.git instead of the git clone https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion.git
That solved the problem for me

@anyone else
I finally got it working on Kodibuntu the only thing i can't get to work is an autostart. When i start hyperion using the script in putty everything works fine, but it won't start when i boot my HTPC. Any suggestions?

[Protheon]

Thanks @patrickstam, that did the trick.

These are the addon settings:



When I start a movie an error message pops up saying "Unable to connect to Hyperion".
How can I check if Hyperion is started?

[patrickstam]

i use the hyperion remote for android to see if hyperion is running. When you start the android app it displays : "server synchronised" if Hyperion is running.

[NicCo]

Hi,
I have installed Hyperion to my Ubuntu system, it seems to be OK because Android Hyperion app tells me "Server synchronized". But my LEDs stay inactive.
I have plugged my Arduino Uno to the HTPC with a USB port, I use ttyACM0 (like indicated into ls -l from /dev/ directory) and I have configured Hyperion with configurator.
But I don't know if my sketch is OK. Could you give me a sketch for Arduino Uno and WS2812B LEDs ?
Thanks !

[illiac4]

Well first i doubt that uno introduces itself to linux as ttyACM0 it should be like ttyUSB0. Second i have no experiences with 2812 so i can not elaborate on that. I assume you have used right pde with fastled integration.

[NicCo]

Thanks ! How could I verify if it's ACM0 or USB0 ? I'm noob with Linux...

Edit : I have found this with dmesg :

on kodibuntu 14.2 my hyperion suddenly stopped working...

when i try to compile new i get the following two errors....

Can any1 help plz?

I think the problem belongs to the jsonserver... looks like it isn´t build so that hyperion can´t connect to

[sgaluf]

@NicCo:
my arduino uno introduces as ttyACM0 to linux.
try to check your Sketch using this tutorial:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adalight-diy-...v-lighting
connect arduino uno directly to Windows or Linux PC and see, how to setup LEDs

can anyone help me on hyperion effects. I've put effect files in "/media/scripts/hyperion/effects", effects are enabled in config.json, correct path is stated, but the effects don't work from android app. color whel does work.

[tdhz77]

Has anybody tried to get hyperion working on Kodibuntu and SteamOS?

@anyone else
I finally got it working on Kodibuntu the only thing i can't get to work is an autostart. When i start hyperion using the script in putty everything works fine, but it won't start when i boot my HTPC. Any suggestions?
[/quote]

The autoexec.py did not work for me on Kodibuntu 14.04 LTS. No matter what I tried I still couldn't get it working. In the end this worked. Maybe this will help somebody else out there.

Copy this script to /etc/init.d/hyperion

Give the script permissions

Code:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/hyperion

Add it to the startup process using rc.local

Code:

sudo update-rc.d hyperion defaults

Reboot.

This works for me.

Follow the instructions and tell us what you find or what errors you get.

[meowmoo]

I use openelce so i cant do sudo apt-get update.

so use this

Code:

curl -L --output install_hyperion.sh --get https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/master/bin/install_hyperion.sh
sh ./install_hyperion.sh

like on the Rpi, everything looks fine, Hyperion Folder is there,

if i do sh hyperion-remote

Code:

i get hyperion-remote: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")

and i cant find any log files :/

im pretty noob when it comes to Putty
