    Hello all,


    I was able to take care of my power supply issue and got my lights to work! Everything works perfectly with OSMC but I want to continue this project to include all of my HDMI video sources. I know it says that the HDMI instructable here is under construction so I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I've seen other people do it online but they are all very confusing. The instructions here were simple and concise for a novice like me. Thanks in advance!

    Hello,


    I am really new to all of this stuff and yesterday I ran into a problem with my hardware. I was using this 5V 10A power supply to power my WS2801 LEDS: https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod…age_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


    and this DC female power jack adapter to connect the power supply to the 5V+ and GND wires like in the instructions: https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod…age_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


    Then I noticed that the DC power jack was incredibly hot and melting. Everything was connected properly so I am not sure what was wrong. I'm not very good with electrical components so any help would be welcomed.


    Thank you
