HyperionAndroidReborn - The successor to the Hyperion Android Grabber

  • haumlab

    Changed the title of the thread from “HyperionAndroidReborn - The update to the Hyperion Android Grabber” to “HyperionAndroidReborn - The successor to the Hyperion Android Grabber”.

    so i was testing out the project, and figured out it has a major performance issue with hdr/dolby content, because it causes it to send hyperion tone images back it has a lot of processing, i can not disable that and thsi is the only method to get streamed content there/

    just wondered if anyone had any ideas.

    thanks

    Are you still working on HDR support?

    The classic android grabber works for me(SDR) but it doesn't work on HDR content(except smart tube) for some reason.

    edit: After reading the release tab on github, i think you abandoned it. But is there any way that this can work?

    Oh sorry for the super late response,

    the grabber should work fully on HDR content, i have tested on dolby vision, hdr 10+ and hdr 10 content and it all works, it depends though the reason why sometimes it doesnt work is because if oyu try on netflix or something thats DRM protected so the grabber can't grab it.

    The reason why i abandoned HDR was because it has insane requirements, for example it requires to send and process 720p, which nearly no smarttv can handle or device, for example i tested it on the firestick and it resulted in around 30-40 frames of just delay.

    Let me know what app your using for the content, i have personally tested it on jellyfin and plex and emby, but yeah.

    hey sory for the late replies everyone

    agreen you do not have to root your tv to install the grabber :D

    Edoardo are you using the newest release version? i testedo. my tclc6k which is the same as the tclc6ks well it should be atleast, and it worked fine there.

    daszr aswell yeah same message sorry, if you could try and debug the app and get the logs from your tv and then ill implement a fix based around that :D

    if you can just run


    adb logcat -d | grep -i "com.hyperion.grabber" > hyperion_grabber_log.txt



    and let me know the response from the logs i would be happy to help :D

    Hello. The android grabber on my TV can't access hyperion running on my PC. In fact, I can't access Hyperion at all other than on the computer it's running on. [IP address]:8090 doesn't work in the grabber or in a browser on my TV or phone. All the servers on the Network Services page are active, and I haven't changed any of the ports. I can access Kodi running on the same computer on [IP address]:8080 on both my phone and TV. Is there something I'm missing?

    This is awesome, thanks for refreshing things! It's working great for me at the moment.


    Question for you, what apps have you found that are compatible? I'm on Android 14 and my main apps (Plex and Smarttube) both just show up as black unfortunately.
