stops working when switching channels to HDMI splitter.

probably happens because Hyperion.NG sees terminated videostream on the v4l2 interface and shutsoff.

somewhere here on the forum was a code when if Hyperion.NG has a disruption on v4l2 interface and shutdown then it will bootup automatically

you have to search but code its here.

Restart Hyperion.NG on plug in the USB grabber

Maybe will be useful for someone:

System: Hyperion.NG running on Raspberry Pi 3 b+, Raspbian OS, USB capture device
Problem: if USB graber is plugged off and then again plugged in, then the hyperion does not get video signal and ambilight does not work.
Solution Idea: restart aitomatically hyperion service if USB graber plugged in. Use udev for that...
Solution implementation:
1) Make new udev rule:
1.1) Execute command:
(Quelltext, 1 Zeile)


1.2) In the nano editor insert the rule line like this…

or maybe a HDCP problem, videostream disrupts in the splitter when switched over source.

if i was you i double check the HDMI settings into your device, and see if its ready for HDCP protocol

think Ambientheater77 may have cracked it or wladi

Might be worthwhile running this command before you do the post on adding the udev rule

ps ax | grep hyperion

if it shows you something like this

LibreELEC:~ # ps ax | grep hyperion
21081 root     17h10 /storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond --userdata /storage/hyperion/
28998 root      0:00 grep hyperion

that shows mine is running as root, if yours shows pi instead of root, then pay attention near the end of the post

if your not too comfortable in the terminal just use the Copy button at the end of each codeblock - as sometimes its easy to missout vital . or other things you may not think is relevant or added in by mistake

some terminals require you to manually go to edit menu then paste

Good Luck
