WLED (UDP) supports only 490 LED's.

I KNEW it was something simple and stupid I overlooked, gahhhh! Thank you so much, changing it to less than 490 makes it work!
Alles anzeigen@johndabeast You can find more background on the WLED website, too:

Hyperion You can now use WLED with the popular Ambilight software Hyperion. Just configure Hyperion to use an UDP device with protocol 0 on port 19446! The maximum number of LEDs supported in this mode is 490. (WLED 0.8.0 and lower: 341)(Bearbeitet)
Plus the rationale by WLED-Developer Aircoookie:
Aircoookie Feb '20 Hi Maik, unfortunately the 490 LED is a hard limit. The reason is that the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted via a UDP frame at once is 1472 bytes (and we need 3 bytes data per LED). You could try to increase UDP_IN_MAXSIZE in wled07_notify.ino, maybe the 8266 (or at least ESP32) can handle larger UDP packets by reassembling the frames, but I wouldn’t count on it.
You could build your own WLED or live with the limitation....
Lord-Grey, thank you for sharing this tidbit, you saved me the time of researching to see if that was changeable. I especially like that you included a statement from Aircookie himself.
You can use 2 ESP with WLED and the corresponding LED layout.

I was about to debate buying a bunch of 60 LED/m strips and delaying finishing this project even longer, and then you suggested this genius option. This is perfect, thank you!
I appreciate all the thorough help from both of you. Can't wait to get this finished and calibrated.
One last thing, @pclin, what did you mean for me to see by your screenshot? Are those the recommended WLED settings for use with Hyperion?
