Thanks for your reply @cloud2 . Mine has not more than 100 and I can't make it work for 1080p videos. I have tried playing from my usb hdd and I had no problems. When I try and stream something that is 1080p problems start. Since this is a thread marked as solved, should I open a new one?
Thanks in advance guys
Hey guys found this thread after investigating this very issue on Raspberry Pi 3 running libreelec 8.0.2. I have doubled the framegrabber's resolution but the problem persists. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
OK thanks to @PawelGrzembka I have hyperion running with no problems. I will document it for anyone that might run into the same problem. As I said earlier, the way I have installed the led strip is documented here
Leaving it just for the hardware part of the project.
On the software side the way to do it is:
1. Install Libreelec 8.0.2 (or whatever kodi distro you want, the problem appeared to me on kodi 17)
2. Open HyperCon and enter the details of the led strip (amount of leds etc)
3. Create Hyperion Configuration (button on the bottom of the HyperCon window.
4. Edit the file you created adding the line
"dmanum" : 10, (with the quotes and the comma)
on the device part of the file like this:
"device" :
{
"name" : "MyPi",
"type" : "ws281x",
"colorOrder" : "grb",
"dmanum" : 10,
"leds" : 96
},
5. Connect via SSH using the last tab on the HyperCon window.
6. Install Hyperion
7. System will reboot.
8. Connect with WinSCP on your raspberry and send the configuration file you created earlier on /storage/.config folder (I tried to send it with HyperCon and it would not transfer to my Pi, that's why I use WinSCP. So make sure the file actually exists on the said folder.
9. Either restart your Pi or start hyperion from HyperCon after sonnecting again via SSH from HyperCon. You should see the rainbow and hyperion should work as it should, finally.
10. In case you have made a mistake on the amount of leds and need to create a new configuation file (like me) after you send the file to your Pi you need to edit the configuration file again to add the
"dmanum" : 10,
line on the file again.
Thanks a lot to @PawelGrzembka that pointed me to the solution proposed by @penfold42 .

do total reinstall (as assumed – file system is corrupted) and then while creating hyperion.config.json, add (before launch!) to the "device" configuration therein additional parameter:
"dmanum" : 10
I didn't try it but it seems to work because on my machine the issues were strongly connected so I think it was actually one issue.
However, for your safety, backup your working SD card.
If it doesn't work, you can try with ws2812spi device type but it voids RPi warranty (as you need to add force_turbo=1 parameter to the /boot/config.txt file to make it work properly, at least it was needed in my case) and changing data GPIO pin to 19 (GPIO 10 as I remember).
Thanks man, will try it when I get home and let you all know about my findings. In the first case where we add the dmanum:10 parameter in the configuration do we have to change GPIO pin? You don't mention something like that, but just to be on the safe side.
I did it with ws2812spi (but lost warranty) trick mentioned before but it looks this one solves it as well and is safer (no warranty voiding): https://hyperion-project.org/t…ds-to-ext4-fs-errors.967/
Thanks a lot for that info but I am having difficulty understanding what I should do. Could you please explain? (Sorry for my total noooooooooobness)
Sorry to be a pain in the ass but could someone more experienced give us a hand with this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Well all I get is:

But of course Hyperion is installed and working fine...
Hey guys, thanks for your input. Unfortunately no progress has been made. Tried all of your suggestions and nothing still the same problem. I have no issue with blinking lights and the setup is done like this:
https://www.instructables.com/…perion-on-Raspberry-Pi-w/
apart from the fact that I was using Libreelec and not OSMC. It is working fine with Libreelec 7 and before that with Openelec of the same kodi version (16.x) so I can speculate it has somehing to do with the new kodi base and possible configuration changes. I have to say that last night I tried to update the working hyperion installation using HyperCon and also manually using the script. I was getting an SSL errror when it would download the latest release. Not sure which version I have to be frank... How can we check the hyperion version we have installed?
I would hope someone from the developers team to give us some help but I think everyone is on vacation...LOL
Thanks for your replies.
I am using the GPIO for the control. OSMC has the same problem like Pawel. Checked my SDs for corruption or any problem, they are OK...
OK, spent the last couple of days trying to resolve this issue. Tried with the Libreelec SD creator and with a clean NOOBS installation but it will not work. After I install Hyperion using HyperCon and the first reboot, I will try to send my configuration file but it will not transfer it to /storage/.config. I can copy the file manually using WinSCP and Hyperion will work. After a reboot it will stop working and it will be just stuck on the Libreelec logo. I can ping the machine but SSH is not up yet..

The link contains my hyperion.config.json

Thanks in advance
Edit: If I comment out the loading of hyperion in autostart.sh, libreelec boots fine. If I start it manually by typing
/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/.config/hyperion.config.json > /storage/logfiles/hyperion.log 2>&1 &
hyperion shows the rainbow splash and works ok but I am experiencing severe lag on kodi.
What could it be?
Thanks for your reply mate, and I must say that I was very suspicious of an SD corruption, so I used another, brand new one but I had the same issues. Also tried with OSMC but again it would refuse to work. I will try the new SD creator and see if it was a noobs problem even though I doubt it since the working system was also based on noobs. Will let you know anyway. Cheers!
Hello everybody and first of all thanks to all the contributors of this wonderful project.
I've been using Hyperion for a year now on my RPi3 running Libreelec 7.0.3 and it has been a wonderful experience with no problems whatsoever. I decided yesterday to upgrade to Libreelec 8.0.2 but the whole thing crashed unfortunately. I flashed a fresh Libreelec image using Noobs and using HyperCon I tried to install Hyperion using the standard procedure (SSH etc) and even though it said that Hyperion was successfully installed, I rebooted and I saw the rainbow "splash" from my LEDs, on the next reboot it will not start kodi. It will just stay on the black screen with the Libreelec logo and it won't go on from there.
Any idea why this is happening? I am on mobile at the moment so I can't upload the configuration json file, but I will do that asap along with the log file for someone to have a better idea of my problem.
Thanks in advance
FilthX
