So changing the signal detection values works but I had to tweak them a little and its still not perfect as I get it going into the idle state during video playback but only for a few seconds. I will mess with them a little more with different videos/ movies and work on a script to switch a relay as the ultimate solution.
Thanks for the help!
I definitely prefer the idea of a script and was already contemplating the idea of a relay but this is literally my first Pi / python project (I have a background Arduino) so electrically a relay is easy for me but the code to make it work in python /pi will be my challenge.
ill search a script as a starting point
thanks again.
Thanks for the ideas guys, I am in New Zealand so my replies are a bit delayed.... (technically I'm in your future).
Ill test the signal detection today and let you know my results.
Hi I'm new here and have just got my first raspberry pi Hyperion project working with reasonable ease. From what I see my setup is exactly as you have done.
I might be able to offer an idea
I have noticed that the blue LED on my video capture device wasn't lighting up indicating a stable video input and Hyperion was not detecting the video capture device. I power cycled the video capture box including the 2 HDMI cables (as there is 5V power on the HDMI cable) and micro USB power and USB data cables.
When I connected the HDMI input source last I got the Blue LED and then Hyperion recognized the USB device and I could configure it as per the pic attached.
maybe your capture device needs the same reboot?
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
Total noob here. Hyperion is my first raspberry Pi project and I have managed to get it installed and working with my WS2812 LED strips.
The issue I would like help with is that it seems the idle state isn't working correctly.
I am using a USB video capture device connected to a raspberry pi 4 running Hyperion. The HDMI source is an apple tv which feeds into the USB video capture box. Hyperion detects the video signal and reacts correctly to my apple tv when it is on so I am happy there. pic attached.
However, When I turn off my AppleTV Hyperion remains on and the LEDs never go into the idle state as I would expect.
Preferably I want all the lights off when the apple tv is off. The best I can manage currently is a basic 8 color block pattern that I don't understand how or where it comes from... pic attached..
Can anyone help me understand the configuration and how to diagnose my issue please?
Thanks in advance!
