Hyperion.NG, Amlogic improvements

andy5macht · 15 January 2020 12:03

i think the 2.0.0 is older than you think - its from Oct 2019
Maybe insider of CoreELEC can say for shure but i think the version included in CoreELEC is more recent.

When I go to the webif at Hyperion.ng, I see a software stand Hyperion.ng 1.0.0.
But in fact, there is a software stand 2.0.0 in GitHub.
That is why I asked.
And according to GitHub, software 1.0.0 is already old.

Deutsch:

Lieber Cosmicbase.
Ich hatte es dir doch schon mal erklärt. Version 2.0.0 gibt es offiziell noch nicht. Und auch keine 2.2.0.
Die Devs von Hyperion haben beschlossen mit Version 2.0.0-Beta zu beginnen, wenn die ersten Pakete auf GitHub veröffentlicht werden. Die Pakete in meinem Repo sind nur für Testzwecke erstellt wurden. Du kannst dich darauf verlassen das hier im CoreELEC repo die aktuellste Version vorhanden ist.

Englisch:
Dear Cosmicbase.
I had already explained it to you before. Version 2.0.0 is not officially available yet. And also no 2.2.0.
Hyperion’s devs have decided to start with version 2.0.0 beta when the first packages are released on GitHub. The packages in my repo are for test purposes only. You can rest assured that the latest version is available here in the CoreELEC repo.

Thx for response.

Would it be possible to add in a toggle for that setting? I just updated to nightly, so it broke my setup and have to reinstall my own build. Having the colors on the grabber inverted really makes calibrating the colors a pain… Maybe this isn’t happening on all AMlogic boxes? If I look at the code it should actually giving me the correct order, but for some reason hyperion doesn’t think I have a AMlogic box.

sanangel · 21 January 2020 22:28

Can you explain how that is done?

MunkeyBalls · 22 January 2020 17:32

It actually seems like the colors on the grabber are only in the wrong order when not playing video. I didn’t actually check the grabber output preview while playing a video, but the lights seemed correct. In which case, don’t worry about it

Alestilohomer · 26 January 2020 20:07

It,s possible to fix that when you turn off the system, the leds remain lighting?

Something like send a “black image” before stops hyperion?

Portisch · 26 January 2020 20:46

It got disabled in july, maybe @Paulchen-Panther just forgot to rewrite this function:

I personally use the usbpower option in config.ini with on. If the Arduino does not receive a signal for 30s it switch off the LEDs.

Alestilohomer · 27 January 2020 12:25

Ok thanks, will wait if this function will be reactivated.

I will try the usbpower in config.ini, I only need to put it on?

If I understand correctly, it gives power trough the usb port even with system turned off right? And arduino will turn off the leds if no data right?

          #   You can use this setting to set a specific video mode at boot.

And the firmware of the Arduino needs to support it.

Alestilohomer · 27 January 2020 15:16

Ok thanks! I have the bl301 injection, will try later at home.

VoYaGeRTM · 27 January 2020 16:03

Can i ask wich Arduino firmware you use for that?
Currently I am using adalight with apa102 leds on the N2.
I can use control, but would still send signals right?
I would like to know what you use in hyperion en arduino for that, other then the usbpower.

Would like to mirror that effect for me

Alestilohomer · 28 January 2020 22:32

Tried the usbpower option =1 and no luck…

What sketch are you using in arduino that support that function?

Portisch · 29 January 2020 08:46

bl301 is injected? So the LEDs on the Arduino remain on?
I use this firmware: https://learn.adafruit.com/adalight-diy-ambient-tv-lighting/download-and-install
And in the Arduino firmware there is a timeout included: https://github.com/adafruit/Adalight/blob/master/Arduino/LEDstream/LEDstream.pde#L163-L170

Alestilohomer · 29 January 2020 14:51

Yes, bl301 is injected, and arduino and leds remain on.

I use adalight-fastled, will try to update the sketch or will try yours.

Tried this v103, but it does not have the RGB fix, blue and red is changed in the menu.

Noticed 2 other things too, hope someone can point out what could be the problem:

When I pause a movie, after a few seconds LEDS use IDLE effect, once I disabled IDLE effect it just turned off LED instead. But after a few seconds LEDS come back and it does this until I start playing the movie. ON, OFF, ON, OFF with a 7-8 second segment.
Noticed flickering during playing, I reverted back to 101, but tested 103 for a few hours and the Leds shined bright with random color at random time. I used the same 20Hz capture frequency and 60Hz smoothing update frequency with 115200 baud rate.

Any suggestions what could be the problem and how can I fix it?

Alestilohomer · 5 February 2020 10:31

The v103 in coreelec nightly addons it’s not the same you posted here right? Because yesterday I have made a fresh install and agsin I am having the issue that amlogic grabber doesn’t start to work because the priorities, in remote controls I see the rainbow effect “freezed”

VoYaGeRTM · 6 February 2020 19:25

I use the Hyperion.NG adalight sketch they have for the arduino.
That has more hardware support for boards and ledstrips.
It also has the same turn off code in it, what you linked.

So that means I have to use that usbpower=1 in config.ini and the bl301 injection?
To achieve what you have I presume.

VoYaGeRTM · 6 February 2020 19:29

I have the same problem as your point 1.
Both with 101 and 103, when pause a movie or serie it goes on and off like that.
But that happens only if you pause a movie or serie, not during something else.

I have no flickering tho, most of the time that is not enough juice to the strip or indeed to fast baud rate/freq.
Wich board hw do you use for the ledstrips?
