Thanks for the input, I will try to get my hands on another Pi 3, my only unused Pis are Zeros and I don't think they have enough power for ambilight.

I did many reboots, but nothing, I also tried hyperiond, but recording to the changelog Alpha 11 changed it to hyperion.

The Systemd/Upstart/System-V-Init service registers Hyperion under the name hyperion instead of hyperiond, as this has caused confusion among users in the past.

I really don't want to try everything again, I hope Lord-Grey has an idea, otherwise the leds will stay on my tv as a memorial.

Yes

output when I try it again:

I also did that, but still, nothing, the service doesn't exist.

Thanks for all the infos Lightning-guy77, but now it's worse.

I installed everything but now the hyperion service won't start at all. I also can't start it manually, because the service isn't found. Also I can't add it as a service.

pi@HyperBian:~ $ sudo systemctl enable --quiet hyperion@root.service --now

Failed to enable unit: Unit file hyperion@root.service does not exist.

I also had the idea to try a different version, but I lack the knowledge on how to install an alpha version. Could you give me a hint?

I think I read every thread about this combination and I did everything and now Hyperion thinks everything is fine, but the leds stay dark.

My first attempt

1. Flash Raspberry Pi OS Lite
2. Install Hyperion
3. Adding blacklist entries etc. because I can't use analog audio
4. Setting Hyperion up to start as root
5. Select an idle effect
6. Reported as working, but the leds show nothing

So, I gave Hyperbian a try

1. Flash Hyperbian
2. Adding blacklist entries etc. because I can't use analog audio
3. Setting Hyperion up to start as root
4. Select an idle effect
5. reported as working, but the leds show nothing

I'm really out of ideas here, the setup worked ages ago with a raspi 2 and the old Hyperion, but the USB controller of the raspi 2 died and I switched to a bigger TV anyway.

Here is the debug log, but there is really nothing in there:

The wiring is also correct, ground to ground on an external 5 V power supply and to ground on the pi (pin 6). 5 V to 5V on the external power supply and data to pin 12 aka GPIO 18 on the Pi 3. I also checked every connection with a multimeter and checked the 5 V on the stripe.

I'm on Hyperion 2.0.12.

I'm really out of ideas here, I found a few people with the same problem, but most just end it with "I bought an Arduino to fix it." or "I bought other leds to fix it."

best regards
