hyperion.kodi add-on not connecting, except for a split second

Hi!

A while ago I posted this question:

Thread

Should the hyperion.kodi add-on work in kodi under Android?

Hi,

Before I go looking into the logs, I just want to check this basic thing.

I've tried the addon with two different versions of Kodi (20.5 and 21) and don't see the connection in hyperion. They are installed on a pretty generic android TV stick:

On the same stick I also have the hyperion grabber for android and that works, but just for the menus, no videos (including while using kodi).

So yeah, should this add-on work under Android? Does…

In the meantime, I found out it should work because... it works... sort of. I see LED lights from it for just a fraction of a second at the start of videos. Also, in the Hyperion online GUI, I see its connection for a fraction of a second. Then, it disappears and the LEDs go dark.

Here's what I know:

* When I start a video, I see in the Hyperion log such an entry (and nothing else) :

Code

2024-12-15T02:32:18.828Z [PROTOSERVER] (DEBUG) (ProtoServer.cpp:75:newConnection()) New connection from ::ffff:10.0.0.198

* In the Kodi log I see this (and nothing else) :

Code

info-<general>: [Hyperion Ambilight)- Establishing connection to hyperion at 10.0.0.90:19445

* However, on the Hyperion Remote Control page the connection appears for just a split second then disappears

* Similarly, the LEDs turn on for a split second.

* When I stop video playback in Kodi, I see this in the Hyperion log:

My setup:

* Hyperion running on a RPi400 under LibreELEC. It's been going strong for many years, but lately, with the issues of the LibreELEC grabber (I held off updating LibreELEC for it to work) and the Netflix Add-on, I'm trying to switch to a remote setup for Hyperion.

* The kodi instance I am trying to connect is running on an Android streaming stick model Thomson Streaming Stick 140.

* The add-on is configured like in the attached image.

* On the same streaming stick I have the android grabber installed and connected to the same Hyperion instance and it works (except for videos). It connects with prio 150, but the issue with the Kodi add-on is there even when the android grabber is stopped.

Any ideas, anyone?

Should the hyperion.kodi add-on work in kodi under Android?
