SDR & HDR 1080p/4k capable setup with Hyperion-NG for Media Center

SiLAnceR · November 3, 2020 at 9:16 PM

hyperhdr:8090 isn´t working - no conneciton.
With the "untouched" hyperion.ng version the connection with ip+8090 works...i can reach the webinterface

@Awawa: it doesn´t work

pi@HyperHDR:~ $ /usr/bin/hyperiond -d
Illegal instruction

SiLAnceR · November 3, 2020 at 9:20 PM

hmm...:(

Awawa · November 3, 2020 at 9:21 PM

Frankly I didn't test it with Rpi 2 myself...only 1 and 3,4 in separate packages. Maybe one compiler optimization too far for that plaform.
Try to write SD image for Rpi 1 as it should be safe option. Next if you interested I can tweak build to make it works for Rpi2.

SiLAnceR · November 3, 2020 at 9:24 PM

I can use the Rpi1 image with my pi2?

Awawa · November 3, 2020 at 9:27 PM

Base Raspbian Linux system is common for all Rpi. The only difference in the images are preinstalled HyperHDR version.
You can also try to remove that packages of HyperHDR manually and install HyperHDR for Rpi1: https://github.com/awawa-dev/Hype…inux-armv6l.deb
...or write again whole image if you'd like: https://github.com/awawa-dev/Hype…-rpi1-armv6.zip

SiLAnceR · November 3, 2020 at 9:59 PM

It seems to work.

I've noticed that my LEDS sometimes turn off for a second or 2 and then turn on again. Turned on Debug logging and it gave me the following:

Not sure if this is core Hyperion related or HyperHDR but thought I ask here. I do not have CEC or Signal Detection turned on. Is my grabber/usb connection unstable or something else? It there a way to just ignore this and don't turn off the leds?

Edit: I have now set a neutral color as 'Background Effect/Color" which will make sure LEDs are not turned off, but still now idea why the grabber signal is lost for tiny second.

Awawa · November 4, 2020 at 8:22 PM

You are not the only person affected by these symptom. Hyperion.ng is also affected. I disabled CEC and all system grabbers in latest build anyway.
1) eliminate hardware problem checking for errors in dmesg (not the boot stuff but after hyperhdr is started)
2) it's seems that it lost signal for about 1 second, it's too bad that you cut off that log...

Puck · November 4, 2020 at 8:29 PM

I didn't cut anything in the logs, this was everything in there from losing signal till getting one again I'll check dmesg output, but hard to time it with the logs of Hyperion.

Awawa · November 4, 2020 at 8:31 PM

I mean that I dont see what was after that (next video stats for frames to compare statement from PriorityMuxer that cut off leds vs provided frames)

OK, there was drop for about 120 frames, if they were arrange in sequence it's about 2 seconds.
If there is no errors in dmesg (voltage dropping, usb device connecting/disconnecting) then it's only guessing because Hyperion didnt receive any errors from v4l2 driver or even corrupted MJPEG frames.
Maybe it's something with Rpi USB or video buffer in the kernel.
Try to reduce the framerate to see if something would change.

Puck · November 4, 2020 at 9:43 PM

I just checked logs using "dmesg -T" for today and nothing mentioning the USB Grabber at all (nor any errors/warnings whatsover). I'll try lowering the framerate and see if it happens again. Thanks for the advice!

Awawa · November 4, 2020 at 10:44 PM

I hope it will help. Maybe there is other program on linux to record camera/grabber and test FPS for that situation and exclude/confirm that's a hardware or linux case?
BTW I dont know what's your display but for capturing 640x480 is not optimal for TV and ambilight. 1280x720 has much better aspect both for 1080p and 4k TV.

Puck · November 4, 2020 at 10:50 PM

I set it to the lowest resolution in correct aspect ratio: 640x360 (so it's not set to 640x480) since I figured a higher resolution wouldn't really give me be better results due to amount of LEDs being (way) less.

Awawa · November 4, 2020 at 10:55 PM

My bad, I misread your log. Lower resolution has very bad effect for the MJPEG at least that's my experience with Ezcap. That's doesn't apply for YUYV encoding.

Puck · November 4, 2020 at 10:57 PM

I see no artefacts whatsoever in the preview, and don't notice anything weird on LEDs either so far. Not sure what to look out for though. Unfortunately this grabber doesn't support YUYV. I'll see if raising it causes any performances issues. Seems my Pi 4 can handle it all pretty well performance wise anyway.

Awawa · November 4, 2020 at 11:00 PM

Maybe it's a hardware related. For Ezcap 269 mjpeg artifacts were very noticeable for me and caused strange effects on some scenes. High resolutions helped but not for 100%.
