Ubuntu or Windows client/grabber + RPI server

  • Hello Guys,


    I'm very interested by this project, but I'm a total newbee. I have a question that I'm not able to solve, even going through this forum or the wiki. Your help is very welcomed.


    For my desktop computer, I have a dual boot system Windows 10 / Unbuntu 14.06. I would like to be able to drive backscreen leds from both systems. My idea is to install Hyperion on a Rapberry Pi 3 as an Hyperion server and then run a Windows or Linux grabber that will talk to this server. Is that possible ?


    Is there a Windows 10 grabber/client that would be able to grab the whole screen and send the right messages to the hyperion server running on the raspberry pi ?


    Same question for the linux side ? Is there a grabber / client ?


    [Edit] Just to be more specific : I want it to work anytime, not only with kodi running.


    Thank you for your help !

  • I made some progress :
    - got my RPI running hyperion. It works fine. I can set any color I want through HyperCon.
    - find out there is a program called hyperion-x11 that is part of main hyperion repo (no doc about it on the web ?) that does the grab job on linux :

    Code
    ./bin/hyperion-x11 -a 192.168.1.29:19445 -f 20
    hyperion-x11:
        version   : master (GitHub-c8cc507/47d087a-1503849303
