I wanted to use Hyperion as a visualizer for my played audio for a long time now. After not finding anything available that fitted my needs, I decided to create my own visualizer.
So today I am introducing you:
HyperionVisualizer for Android
HyperionVisualizer for Android is a simple Android app, that uses the music played on your mobile phone and visualizes it on your Hyperion using the UDP Listener
Features:
Currently the app features two visualization options, that resemble the Rainbow Mood and Rainbow Swirl effects. You can set the rate in which the colors change on your own, using a rate of 0 lets you use a static color or rainbow.
Setting the color change rate to 0 and using the offset functionality, you can set whatever static color you like.
Set the rate at which the visualizer updates on your own. Using a lower rate gives a nice "blocky" visualization effect, while a higher rate gives you a very smooth experience.
Use whatever app you want to play your music, it works with all of them (as far as I tested). Spotify, YouTube, PowerAmp. All work fine.
Works with all Hyperion Setups, thanks to you being able to set the LED count on your own.
Usage:
To use this app, you need to first externally start the UDP Listener (using hyperion-remote.sh or the Hyperion App). Then just open the app, enter your details and press start. If you're sick of it, press stop and end the effect.
Configuration Details:
- IP-Address: IP-Address of your Ambilight System
- UDP Port: Port of your UDP Listener. By default that is Port 2391, but you still have to enter 2391.
- Color Switch Rate: Rate on which the color changes.
- LED Count: Amount of LED's in your Ambilight setup.
- Color Starting offset: Offset to start the colors at.
- Rate: The rate on which the visualizer updates in mHz (Milihertz)
Planned Features:
- Automatic start and end of the effect using the TCP Interface
- Rainbow-Swirl-Non-Static effect that not only swirls the colors but also the visualization
- Making color switch rate independent of rate
- Better UI
- Taking care of the service stopping randomly using a foreground service
- Philips Hue integration
