Help with running external Hyperion on OpenELEC, feed from Odroid C2 Android Kodi

  • Hey everyone,


    I had this working for almost a year, wanted to start fresh a few days ago by updating OpenELEC to 8.0 (RPi). Think it broke the settings. Now I've reverted back to OpenELEC 4.1.5. I've removed all traces of Hyperion and started again.


    Kodi running on Android has boblight plugin installed, looking at remote IP: 192.168.100.9


    Hyperion running on OpenELEC RPi is listening to IP: 192.168.100.3


    Like I said this was running fine until I updated OpenELEC. I've since thought I'd start everything from the beginning and reset my Kodi as well (it was crashing a lot with v17.1).


    dtparam=spi=on is set in config.txt



    HyperCon config is being sent with no problems, but I keep getting 'Unable to connect to host'. Not sure what's wrong.


    I feel I'm missing something very basic.


    Here is my hyperion.config.json:


  • I do not use a Lightpack setup, so please take suggestion with a grain of salt.


    It seem like your sending the output to the heavens.
    In the config file I see you have ("output" : "",) That should have a Lightpack serial number (I think, I'm guessing here). Or at the very least some info on where to output the LED info.


    Again I'm guessing, but I hope it helps.

  • I purposefully left it blank because I honestly don't remember if I had anything there the last time. I tried /dev/spidev0.0, dev/ttyS0, IP addresses, etc


    When I try to set a colour in HyperCon it says: Unable to connect to host
    On Kodi start up: Failed to connect to boblightd

  • Here's the HyperCon log


  • After looking at the log I commented out the GrabberV4L2 bit, and now the remote is working. But the screen capturing isn't.


    What else can I try for?


    Code
    V4L2GRABBER ERROR: Cannot identify '/dev/video0' ERROR 2, No such file or directory
  • lsusb gives me:


    Code
    Bus 001 Device 006: ID 1d50:6022 OpenMoko, Inc.
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMC9514 Hub
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


    And dmesg | grep -i video:


    Code
    [    0.130790] mailbox: Broadcom VideoCore Mailbox driver
    [    1.200686] vc-cma: Videocore CMA driver
  • ls -lh /dev/ gives me this output:


  • Got it to respond from Kodi on the Odroid. Stupidly had the port number 19444 instead of 19333.


    I still have the V4L2GRABBER commented out.


    The screen capturing is only white now. I'm sure something in the settings is off. Anyone have a clue?

  • For anyone curious. Set up is Odroid C2, Android with Kodi, Boblight plugin, remote IP. Raspberry Pi B with OpenELEC and Hyperion. My hyperion config is this:

  • Hello, i have almost the same Configuration. Raspi3 with hyperion and and Odroid with Kodi. But my Kodi give only a Fix light in Various Colour :-(.
    What is in your boblight Con on the Odroid ?

    Did you turn off one of the encoders in Kodi? Go to Settings > Player settings > Allow hardware acceleration - MediaCodec (Surface). Turn it off.

  • Now i turn off the Hardware Acceleration and The Boblight gives me an Ambiant Light :) but when i switch to TV i need the Mpeg2 Acc, so i turn it on back, but the Boblight is always in function. :) Thank you.

    No problem, happy to help. If your LEDs are always on, then it must be in your Hyperion config
