  • HDR problems while using Onkyo RZ50 Receiver

    The LoopOut grabbers from OMR link currently lack hardware settings, CEC, and other disadvantages.


    I know, that is why it's after the downscale splitter on output2, with a dummy HDMI monitor on its output.
    Output 1 passes 4k/60 4:2:2 HDR10+ with CEC.

  • hyperiond sigabort qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""

    Thanks.

    I uninstalled with dpkg -r and followed the steps in the description, but (still) gets:


    I'm saying still, because this is what I started out with before trying the package directly, which worked on one Pi, but not the other.


    AI suggest trying install from a back-port:


    Code
    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
# Add this line:
deb deb.debian.org bullseye-backports main contrib non-free
sudo apt update
sudo apt install qt6-qpa-plugins -t bullseye-backports

    Will try that ..

    Adding

    Code
    deb http://archive.debian.org/debian bullseye-backports main contrib non-free

    to apt sources installed the qt6 on debian 11 bullseye.

    Other option was upgrade to debian 12 bookworm.

  • hyperiond sigabort qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""

    Have 2 rpi4s with bullseye 64. On one sudo dpkg -i Hyperion-2.1.1-Linux-armv7l.deb worked just fine.
    On the other I get:


    Code
    omr@rpi4basement:~ $ hyperiond
qt.core.plugin.factoryloader: checking directory path "/usr/share/hyperion/bin/platforms" ...
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

hyperiond caught signal: SIGABRT

    Have tried all AIs to no avail.
    Aany hints for me?

  • Cheap 4k HDR HDCP Capture Card w/Loop through

    Update: (2.1.1)

    HDR10+ And 4:2:2 from AppleTV now works after buying this: Temu 1:2 splitter

    Splitter set to Copy 1 mode, HDM1 out where the TV is connected.
    Capture card on HDMI2.

    Using the same capture card as in the first post, but needs a dummy HDMI plug on its output.


    Splitter supports CEC passthrough. Capture card CEC soldering hack described above not needed anymore.


    HDR10+ and 4:2:2 goes undisturbed to the TV, and with these capture settings operation is really smooth.

  • SIGABRT or 7/BUS every 2-5 days.

    Some additional info:
    When I turn off the Apple TV, the grabber card outputs a static generic RGB test image.
    Both Hyperion LED output instances are left on, but the two wleds are turned OFF.


    Have never seen Hyperion crashes during use, always in the static input 2xwleds OFF state.

  • SIGABRT or 7/BUS every 2-5 days.

  • SIGABRT or 7/BUS every 2-5 days.

    Sure.
    Included 2 flavors of 7/BUS.
    All ABRT are the same:

    2 wled from same grabber:

    This does not always restart automatically:



    Any hints on how to proceed?

  • Cheap 4k HDR HDCP Capture Card w/Loop through

    None.
    It was all right out of the box. (Except for the CEC solder exercise)
    Do not think the capture card is configurable at all.

    My setup is: AppleTV->Capture Card->TV HDMI4 input (Samsung Q90). AVR on ARC. (Siri remote AVR Volume working after CEC fix)
    Rpi4 w/Hyperion from Capture Card USB (Powered HUB), WLED on WiFi.

  • Cheap 4k HDR HDCP Capture Card w/Loop through

    Just tested this:

    https://www.fruugo.co.uk/nk-s4…p60/p-242559432-522105197 (delivery to Norway 10 days)
    with an AppleTV 4K 3rd Gen.
    WLED with a 5m 300 RGBW strip behind a 75" TV.

    The HDMI cable that came with it did not do HDR, so had to swap that.
    Then I was able to select this Video setup on the AppleTV:

    Sadly HDR10+ was gone, but I lived without that with the 2nd Gen ApplTV 4K, so I can live with that for now.
    Selecting the Video Capture in Hyperion was plug & play and using these settings, lag was down to a few 100ms. (WiFi WLED)


    Yes, and CEC was broken, but making a solder bridge for R12 as described in the link below got it working.
    Adding CEC support to cheap HDMI grabber with 4K loop through and HDCP 2.2


    Works with all streaming services so fully HDCP compliant.


    So, summing up, if you can do without HDR10+ (haven't tested Dolby Vision) this is a cheap option to get started.

  • Will this work? Hyperion server, Hyperion Android Grabber on Note9 phone grabbing from phone camera?

    I will soon get a spare Note9 phone since the battery is dvindeling.
    Behind my TV I have a 300 RGBW WLED setup.
    In order to be able to get ambilight from TV Apps (Samsung) I understand a camera is needed.
    Filming the TV screen with the phone produces a nice sharp flicker-free image on the phone screen.
    Putting the phone on USB power, will this camera setup work well with Hyperion(-NG)?
    Will the phone screen light level affect the grabbing?
    Just wanted to check if this approach is at all feasible.
