Hello everyone. I’ve been doing some digging, trying to find some new effects for Hyperion. I’m running a Pi/Arduino setup with a WS2812b light strip. I’ve got it set up with a frame grabber and all mounted on the back of my TV. Everything works great, no issues with the setup. However, in my search for new effects, I’ve found a few from Hyperion that I didn’t have preinstalled. I’ve updated my install and no joy. So I copied the Python script and the JSON config and they show in my list of effects. A few work and a few don’t. One that doesn’t is the clock effect. I can’t seem to get that to work, despite following the instructions for adding Pillow. I’ve also seen an effect called VU Meter and I am very interested in this. It seems that it only works with music from the Pi though, and I don’t want to load a music library onto my Pi. Also had some issues with MPD but ultimately, I’d love to be able to take the audio from the frame grabber and go into the pi with that. This way I can stream music to the TV or watch YouTube music videos and have the VU visualiser rocking with the music.
Has anyone played around with adding new effects? I’d love to hear what you’ve done or if you have any suggestions on the above, I’m all ears. I’m not sure if this is allowed, but happy for this to be a discussion more than specific help, although help is always appreciated. Apologies if this isn’t allowed or the right place, as my queries relates directly with Hyperion, I thought software was the right place to put it.
