I currently have this (see here) setup but I'm running into issues. I have everything going except I cannot get the LEDs to sync with what is being displayed on the TV - they just stay white and flicker. Just trying to see if you guys would recommend I change something hardware wise. Thank you very much!
Will this topology work?

what does your live-preview show in the webUI?

I can see what the TV is playing.

Looks good, but give more information about your devices... capture card, which LEDs, how many LEDs, Hyperion Version ...

- LEDs: No sure what specific info you need from the LEDs so here is a
to the ones I purchased. - LED count: 243
- Capture-Card: Again, not sure what specific details you're after (noob issue) so here is a
to the item I bought. For whatever its worth, I am able to see what is playing on the TV within the "Live view" in Hyperion. - Version: 2.0.0-alpha.9

can you set static colors from the webUI?

No, it does not seem that I can control any colors whatsoever. Just to be sure, are you referring to the settings under "Image Processing/Color Calibration/LED area assignment/Unicolor"?

Settings are ws2812spi in controller type?
How long is the data line between RPi and LEDs?

I had it set to "WS281x" under "RPi PWM" but I just changed it to ws2812spi.
I currently have a 2 meter cable between RPi and LEDs. During my troubleshooting and I had it set to "WS281x" I removed the 2 meter cable and when to .3 meter but nothing had changed. Should I try the shorter cable now that I changed the setting to ws2812spi?

ws281x use the PWM-Protocol, you must set data line to Pin 12 (GPIO 18).
If you run ws2812spi use Pin 19 (GPIO 10).

Okay, I'm going to move from pin 12 to pin 19. BRB...

2 meters without Level Shifter is too long, make it short as possible. For testing 0.3m are okay.
-
adding another earth from the GPIO earth pin to the LED's earth point wouldn't hurt, fair enough Pi is using the same earth point but it will only help.
-
Okay, I have it shorten to .3m, set to pin 19 but I can't seem to control the LEDs still. They are just appear whiteish. Any other settings I should look for?

When you say "earth", is that the same a "ground"?
-
ground /earth/ GND / -V is all the same

did you select ws2812SPI in led controller??
i saw that you selected 3000000 thats 300Mhz >> thats fast
whats the baudrate of the ledcontroller> decrease to 1500000
look at remote section of Hyperion, do you see that ledcontroller is active?
-
and, if you use ws281x with PWM-Protocol, you need to run hyperion under root.
In addition, in case something is not working, it is always good to first have a look into the Hyperion log and check for errors.
-
If all attempts fail, you may try this in German Thread

Interesting... you mean, Hyperion with PWM doesn't work properly on User Pi?
