Hi again!

Issue to check:

Exporting configuration does not work proberly anymore.

JSON file is cut after "uuid" string and this error occurs:

Best regards

Great! It's working again!

Semms it has been only a small issue, guess?

About 50 lines of code edited on the fly...

I wish i had such coding skills

Ok. Good to know.

I installed the latest build of PR1856 but unfortunately this didn't solve my issue from post #18.

It's not a big deal for me because i hardly use this app anymore.

Just for noticing.

I installed 1856 about one week ago. The last commits were two days ago. So no i not have the latest commits.

But beacause the pr is closed now and the script wont install closed ones i can not install the latest version of pr1856 again.

Hi everyone,

it would be very nice if someone (maybe Paulchen-Panther ) could make a script for installing nightly builds on LibreElec.

I would like to do it myself but unfortunately my programming skills are not sufficient

Best regards

I guess you mean i have to install the nightly build (scripts aborts because of closed pr), right?

Unfortunately i am using LibreElec and it is not working with apt packages.

Hi again!

I may have found a new problem. But I'm not sure if it's related to your PR.

I'm using an Android app (Hyperion Control) that previously worked without issues, but now doesn't.

The app was also not updated in recent times, so i guess it must be related to Hyperion.

The log shows the app starting:

2025-04-27T11:13:23.027Z [WEBSOCKET] (DEBUG) (WebSocketJsonHandler.cpp:22:WebSocketJsonHandler()) New WebSocket connection from ::ffff:192.168.1.6 initiated via: 

2025-04-27T11:13:23.028Z [WEBSOCKET] (INFO) JSON-API service is ready to process request

But it does not react on any changes.

Any ideas, "Mr. Lord-of Code-Grey"?

OK desission made. I'm going to upgrade

I don't think that the update is causing your problem but nevertheless you can download earlier versions on the github page:

https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/releases/tag/XXX

Just replace XXX with with your desired version (for example 2.0.15)

Would you please show me all your Hyperion settings? Maybe i find where the problem is.

GPIO 17 is not a PWM pin. Try GPIO 19

What happens if you disconnect the data line? Does the white light goes off?

Strange...

It's unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to test: try a different GPIO.

I can handle a little less brightness, most of time my ws2812 run at only 90% anyway.

That was an important information, it would half the costs of an upgrade. Nice!

You are using the nw variant, right? From what I've read so far, ww has been mostly recommended.

Does this make any difference at all due to Hyperion's various white algorithms and temperature settings?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

How much better?

I know it's hard to answer...

Can you see the difference immadelty or is it more subtle?

Are 30 leds/m sk6812 equivalent to 60leds/m ws2812 in terms of brightness?

What LEDs are you using? Do you have a multimeter? How long is your data line from Pi to stribe?

Hi everybody,

i consider to upgrade my WS2812 to SK6812RGBWW leds.

Can somebody share his experinence if it's worth the upgrade?

Best regrads

Faulty LEDs?

Your settings looking somehow generally too far away from neutral to me.

Quote from Marcel Reif

I just set up a Hyperion instance and it's working pretty well so far. However, in dark scenes, some LEDs turn off. To prevent this, I set the backlight threshold to 2%.

To prevent this I would rather try it with a brightness gain of 1, a lower saturation gain of about 1,1 and a slightly decreased gamma of about 0,9 on all colors. Also set backlight to 0!

Kurze Zwischenfrage (nur fürs eigene Verständniss):

Wieso sind insgesamt vier IP Adressen involviert?

172.16.10.35

172.16.10.37

172.16.10.41

172.16.10.97

If you really just did a fresh install and changed nothing on your hardware setup

then i guess you somehow misconfigured Hyperion this time.

Like Ambient_theater77 said check if dtparam=audio=off is set in the config.txt and be sure

that you selected the correct DMA channel, PWM channel and GPIO
Does the log shows any errors?

What is the spi parameter doing exactly? As soon as I reboot my Raspberry Pi4, I get no image anymore.

```

INFO : SPI is currently not active, enabling "dtparam=spi=on" in /flash/config.txt

INFO : Please reboot system to activate SPI configuration.

```

When I uninstall Hyperion with the same script, everything's back ok...

Adding dtparam=spi=on in /flash/config.txt enables pi's SPI interface which is nessesary to control SPI based led types.
