Ok I've got a Pi3 running OSMC, and a WS281b strip connected to a Aurdino Pro Mini and a USB-to-TTL. I'm using a bunch of parts from an earlier Hyperion setup for this new one.
I can change the LEDs with hypercon or the app on my phone.
I can not get the LEDs to mimic what is on screen, except when I take a screenshot in Hypercon. A screenshot in hypercon results in all blue LEDs.
I'm thinking that the Pi3 can't grab internally, so I have to use a HDMI spliter and USB video capture. That's ok I want to do that anyway for my other inputs. But I think my Easycap USB video capture is not supported. It's new I did not use video capture on my old Hyperion setup. When I enable GrabberVL42 in hypercon I get the following upon loading config
ssh in: Jan 26 13:20:21 IansPi1Media hyperiond[10662]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
ssh in: Jan 26 13:20:21 IansPi1Media hyperiond[10662]: what(): VIDIOC_S_STD ERROR 25, Inappropriate ioctl for device

ssh in: Jan 26 13:20:21 IansPi1Media systemd[1]: Unit hyperion.service entered failed state.
dmesg shows this when the Easycap USB capture is plugged in.

And finally lsusb shows the following when the USB capture is connected.

I've not been able to ID the chipset on the Easycap the chip says ob-mba22n on it.
I really appreciate any assistance.
