No i didn´t. The Port and IP must be the right one...if they are wrong i get the message "Cant connect to hyperion server" or so. I´ve tried several different ports.

My hyperion.config.json

And that are my Led´s

With Boblight everything is working fine.

Try disable the add-on and use the x11 file maby it works

Thanks for all the work on this!

I am getting stuck at one point and I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I'm using a lightberry with a USB connection to my Chromebox, this is what happens when I run the command

Code:

Application build time: Nov 21 2015 00:56:02

}

It just hangs at Initializing Python Interpreter. I have gotten the same results in both Openelec and on Kodibuntu.

Thanks for the help.

I'm a noob and I'm confused! I want to create a Ambilight clone which can be used with my media center (I dont need other sources) and I would like to use as little extra devices as possible (no extra USB TV grabber, HDMI splitter, HDMI converter etc.).

I currently have a Intel NUC currently running OpenElec 6.0.0 64 bits. I also have a Raspberry Pi 2b laying around which I was planning for this setup. I thought my setup would have to be something like this:

Intel NUC ---> HDMI ---> A/V Receiver (for playing the media on the TV)
Intel NUC ---> USB ---> Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi ---> GPIO ---> Level converter (to convert the 3V to 5V for the APA102 LED strip)
Level Converter ---> RGB wires ---> LED strip

As to my knowledge I would need to install Hyperion on the Intel NUC using the build from iLLiac4 in this thread to act as grabber and the Kodi/XBMC Hyperion Add-on to send the signal to a Hyperion server. On the Raspberry Pi I would install Hyperion to act as server to actually control the LED strip. So two Hyperion installs, one as grabber and one as server for controlling the LED strip.

After having read most of this topic and a lot of other stuff I'm not sure about these assumptions. Most information is about the software configuration and not how to set up the hardware. Could someone tell me how to set up the hardware in the most simplest way which still allows me to use Kodi on my Intel NUC as media center.

Wonder if you guys can help me I've built an ambi light using ws2812b and an arduino for my htpc which is an Asrock n3150 using libreelec
I've uploaded the sketch made a config file which seemed to have worked but I only get the startup swirl and nothing else I can control the effects from my phone but get nothing in the menu or when I play a video
Can anyone help point me in the right direction please

[meowmoo]

did you install the libreelec version (addon)

read here https://hyperion-project.org/wiki/Instal...-LibreElec :>

[jjbull]

I followed the instructions but it's says libreelec doesn't support installation through hypercon and to use the libreelec repo

[jjbull]

I ssh into the box to see which ports are open and 9090 which Hyperion uses doesn't seem to be active, all the options for web server etc are active in the services menu

[jjbull]

ive made some progress not sure how exactly but ive got lights when files play but not in the menus how do i go about rectifying this

[meowmoo]

You need to usr the x11 grabber

/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/hyperion/config/hyperion.config.json > /storage/logfiles/hyperion.log 2>&1 &
DISPLAY=:0.0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/storage/hyperion/bin /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-x11 </dev/null >/storage/logfiles/hyperion.log 2>&1 &

[jjbull]

Thxs for that

Hey everyone, thanks so much for any input in this thread and others, but I'm still running into problems. I'm running 2 strands of leds https://www.adafruit.com/products/322 connected to a arduino uno. I'm running openelec 6.0.3? on an intel NUC. I've FINALLY been able to at least control the leds remotely with hypercon, upload, configs, ssh etc my nuc, but I can't for the life of me figure out why my leds flicker nearly constantly. I am able to get the leds to respond to menus, and videos, but the flickering is mind-numbing and extremely distracting. I also have extreme slowdowns of both videos and my gui while running my leds, most vids I play are HD h.264 encoded mkvs. I read hyperion only uses a very small amount of cpu power? Anyways, here is my hyperion.config.json. If anyone could give me some insight I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Baudrate, is the same in the config and the uno sketch?
Maby try a higher baudrate, I'm using 230400

Led nr is correct in the uno sketch?
Try another sketch code
https://github.com/iLLiac4/Adalight_Hyperion

[Pheelip]

I was able to reduce the flicker somewhat, by upping the baudrate to 230400, like you suggested, so thanks for that. It seems that it primarily flickers on red/purple colors, and only during faster scenes. Any other ideas? As far as the Led Nr goes, what exactly does that mean? I'm still pretty new to the whole thing so I don't quite understand the led nr? Are there restrictions on my hardware end that would prohibit me from using any of these other iLLiac4/adalight ino files. I am using the ledstream uno sketch that cames with the arduino software. I followed this tutorial almost to a tee, specifically the "program the arduino" section, https://learn.adafruit.com/adalight-diy-...nd-install . Anything else I would need to do before uploading a new uno sketch? Can I use a different sketch considering I am using https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/as...1396772191 ?

How many LEDs are on your ambielight ?
I have 95 for example.
Do you have enough power for the LEDs?

Post ur sketch here pls.

I'm no expert also, if we can't figure it out try ur luck in the Hyperion forum, link in my signatur
