    Sorry guys,


    i was chatting with pclin and mistaked the windows and typed it in here in german.


    I plugged in this digial grabber: https://www.berrybase.de/usb-hdmi-video-grabber-1080p and it ddnt work by plug n play unfortunately, i played with the configs but no luck.


    After i cleaned the setup behind the tv this morning, i turned it all on and cleared the hyperion cache by ssh, it started working. I am super happy and enjoying the ambilight. I will post my config later, some of the latest settings made it work. Don't know which one currently......


    Thank you so much :)

    Achja, Hyperion NG brauchst du aber zwingend. Wenn das aber läuft, funktioniert es fast Plug & Play.

    Ich habe es mal mit Plug & Play versucht, aber die LED's wollen nicht leuchten. Was bedeutet "fast"? was muss man noch tun?


    Mein Problem + Config-File+Logfile hier unten: LEDs flickering in random colors


    PS: Bei mir lassen sich die LEDs korrekt mit Effekten steuern. Es klappt aber nicht mit dem USB-Capturing.....

    I think it is a bug, as described here https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/issues/897 (solid colors lead to changing patterns).


    Don't know how to apply the solution though......can someone help?


    I solved the flickering issue. I didnt connect the ground from the raspberry to the stripe properly. I thought it can be connected anywhere at Ground-cables, but it had to be connected to data input of the first stripe. Now its perfectly working.


    Now only the issue with the grabber is left. So i need to know what the problem is, if its solvable or if i need to buy a digital wrapper?!

    Does the RPI and the LED have a common ground.

    Yes

    There is a problem with the grabber.

    Can it be fixed?


    If i send a solid color and plugged out the grabber, it should work (to show a solid color), shouldnt it?

    Does the RPI and the LED have a common ground.

    Yes, but i should double check all connections. Do you have an 100% correct image/photo with the PI3 Model B pins (how it should be connected) ? ....................................... Don't know if the informations in the web are 100% correct

    There is a problem with the grabber.

    So i have several questions:



    - To make all LEDs red (solid one color), i think the grabber does not matter (even if there is a grabber-problem too). If i turn off the USB input in the web-configuration or plugg out the grabber and set a color, its still flickering randomly. So what is the real problem here most probably?


    - What is the problem with the grabber ?


    - What make the digital one "better"? Will the results be the same (if its working)?


    - Is it still possible to make it work with the current setup?


    In the attached image you see how i have connected to the raspberry (Blue=DI, Green=CI, Black=Ground).


    I have double checked the connections and removed everything else (grabber, keyboard and so on) and disabled USB input in HyperionConfig completely. So its just the raspberry and the led's.


    Then i start the Knight Rider effect as you can see here:



    As you can see, the colors are changing, but they should be red only.

    Hey pclin,


    thank you for your fast reply.



    Hey everybody,


    i am a little frustrated. My LEDs are changing their colors randomly and rapidly, even though i am sending a solid color by:


    Code
    hyperion-remote -c blue


    If i run f.i. that Knight-Rider effect, it is working (goes from one edge to the other and back) but with randomly changing colors.


    I have:


    - Raspberry PI 3 B

    - WS2801 LEDs

    - Power supply

    - Grabber:

    - Converter:


    I have attached the Hyperion-Config-file i am using (https://pastebin.com/m9B7Kq54). But i am a newbie and not at all an expert for the configurations. So i am not sure if interference signals or configurations are the issue.


    Can someone help me or guide through troubleshooting?


    Thank you in advance
