windows dual monitor -> grabber -> raspi Pi Proto buffer

Hey everyone! Trying to get a new Hyperion setup going!

I have a windows PC with dual monitors.

I have installed the Windows Frame Grabber/screen capture

I am using flatbuffer and/or protobuffer to connect over wifi to raspberry pi. (I have an extra, I do not have an arduino)

I have a raspberry pi with raspbian installed and setup with LEDS and all is functioning correctly.

my problem is hyperion on the pi will only receive one monitor or the other. (using live preview confirms)

If I enable BOTH displays in the windows screen capture, hyperion on the PI receives both monitors' information, but flickers between the 2 displays. (like frame 1 is monitor 1, frame 2 is monitor 2, frame 3 is monitor 1, frame 4 is monitor 2, etc)

I noticed in the actual HYPERION program on the PC, i can select "QT" and "ALL DISPLAYS", is there a way to send that information to the raspberry PI hyperion to drive the LEDs?

is there any way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Thank you so much for your reply pclin !

I believe this is the fork I am using, maybe I am configuring it incorrectly.

When I try to add both monitors, the pi tries to combine the feeds in alternating frames, instead of the monitors being side by side.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong....

I'm at work, and not with my PC. I know I should wait to reply, but I won't be near the PC for a while.

I've made a crude mockup of what I remember my settings looking like. let me know if if I've done this incorrectly...

Hey pclin, I've finally made it back to my PC.

I have verified I am using the latest version of the distro of the windows screen cap software you lin

Here is my ACTUAL config, could you help me understand what I might be doing wrong please?

here is an example of what my hyperion server (raspi pi) is receiving from my windows frame grabber. you can see the 2 displays are almost "z-fighting". I am dragging a window around on my left display.

Hi and thank you so much for your help and time with my project, pclin !

I truly do appreciate it.

I thought I replied with a detailed post on 2/4 including logs and screen recordings converted to GIF, etc, but I'm not sure what happened to it I don't see it here anymore.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I am understanding correctly or not, because I think I am already doing what you are suggesting?

I have 1 instance of the latest release of hyperion (2.0.16 from 1/18/24) running on my Pi over network @ 192.168.1.11:

using the latest release of HyperionScreenCap from:

Releases · sabaatworld/HyperionScreenCap

Screen capture program for Hyperion ambilight. Updated to support DirectX 11, multiple displays and multiple Hyperion servers. - sabaatworld/HyperionScreenCap

github.com

Here is my monitor configuration:

Here is screen cap config:

individual monitor configs:

monitor 1:

monitor 0:

Windows Screencap software is connecting, and transmitting 2 separate streams

Hyperion server is receiving those streams, but interpolating them together, instead of side by side

here is my live view:

MP4 screen recording hyperion live view interpolating

DASHBOARD view interpolating between dual monitors

My hyperion server will process just 1 stream at a time just fine, if I disable one or the other.

LORD GREY -- this works perfectly. thank you. I had to dig around and found out how to enable "advanced" settings, and that enabled the ability to use the fowarder.

haha thanks to everyone for the help!
