Someone else in this thread rooted and tried disabling secure surfaces, but are still not able to get video from prime/netflix. Unlikely that can be bypassed.
Oh, that's unfortunate...

I want to get an ambilight system working for my PC, im running dual 24" 1080p monitors. Would this grabber work? And is there a guide anywhere to set it up? Also would i need 2 seperate pis for each monitor or would 1 be enough? And what about the led layout?
tips?Thanks

Are there any updates on this? Does it work with Netflix or Prime Video yet? I plan to use it on a Shield TV (rooted) with apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Plex, youtube, etc.

Any updates on this working with DRM services like Netflix and Amazon video?
Also does it work with Plex and Youtube? What about 4k HDR support? (shield tv) -
hmm youtube is not my top priority ..
Netflix / Amazon Prime and the HDMI Sources are more important, as i dont find a good "hdmi grabber" for 4k HDR stuff...
yup this is what im looking for too... a cheap 4k hdr grabber for hdmi. -
just give it a try.
https://github.com/abrenoch/hyper…rabber/releasesdownload-install APK - punch in simple settings - enjoy!
in the best case- you have your less flickering.
In my case - only software rendered elements change colours of the LEDs.
Hardware rendered video layer not captured by the grabber as far as I get (((waiting patiently for the second alfa release - abrenoch is working on alternative grabber technique. ))))
Thanks... I don't actually have LEDs yet, when I get them I'll give it a shot. -
Hey, I just found this thread... I have a shield TV 2017, will this app work with it and give me a Hyperion capture while still allowing me to get 4k 60 HDR output? And how would I go about setting it up?

minicap is another adb application that will provide a video stream from the an android device. There is another thread here somewhere about people experimenting with it but it never really developed past that. Even with that though you would need to root your android device and disable the secured video sources flag using something like xposed to get content from netflix (it will output a black box). I would have started with that but getting it running looks like a real PITA.
That device you linked to certainly looks promising. That is about the ceiling of what I would be willing to spend to get this working again. I'll take a look for something similar!
I did notice this on the HDfury site: https://www.hdfury.com/product/splitter-4k-uhdpro/ which is a splitter that describes an integrated scaler:
Splitter 4K UHD/PRO is a 2-Port DVI/HDMI splitter with integrated HDCP decryption/encryption engines, channel independant scaling engine and is compliant with HDMI Rev 1.4 and HDCP Rev 1.3 specifications.
Splitter 4K UHD/PRO receives DVI/HDMI inputs, process HDCP decryption and encryption, scale up/down one or both channel and transmits the data to 2 DVI/HDMI ports.
EDIT: ah nevermind, didn't notice it caps out at 30hzIf that is the case, that device is $100 and has a splitter already integrated. I think I'll contact them and ask about it, will report back anything I learn!
Ahh right ok... Yeah I realised it capped at 30hz becuase it only supports hdmi 1.4...There must be cheaper scalers somewhere

Okay I'm back - good news and bad.
Overall, this exact setup is not going to work for me if I want to maintain 4k at 60hz. The HDCP standard adapter seems to have done nothing for the situation as you predicted, and adds nothing but another HDMI wire and occupied power plug. So scratch that totally from this configuration.
The 4k -> RCA adapter ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHKF945?tag=hyperioforum-21 ) does actually seem to be working and I haven't noticed any issues with it (mind that I only fiddled with it for about 10 minutes so far, so that isn't saying much). The problem here obviously is it does not support 4k at 60hz which means the TV will also be limited to 30hz.
The USB grabber I got from amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0126O0RDC?tag=hyperioforum-21 ) seems to be working as expected with hyperion - so that is good news.
So unless we can find a 4K60 -> RCA it seems like software may have to be the solution to this (without shelling out tons of cash). But I have to wonder if the expensive adapter from HDFury wouldn't just yield the exact same problem forcing the source to match the destination.
I took a little bit of time to experiment with 'screenrecord' over adb, which provides a nice quality video feed, but the latency is a problem. I tried to do some scaling and fiddling with the bitrate but I couldn't get anything that seemed like a viable option.
I guess the next attempt will be to try to produce some results using minicap, but it looks like that might take some effort to get running.
Hmm.. as I expected... What's minicap?Ideally this is what we would need... It's still pricey tho, but not as bad as the hdfury...
It seems to be from the UK, so shipping costs would be high, unless you can find something from where you are from... It looks fairly unbranded so im pretty sure you should be able to find it under a different brand, maybe monoprice.https://www.clearvisionsystems.co.uk/hdmi-4k-to-108…scaler-repeater
-
I decided to grab that too (might as well not draw out this project for weeks waiting for things to ship).
I'm sure I'll be back to progressively vent my frustration as this develops
I wish you good luck! Hopefully the results will be positive -
Well assuming the 4k -> RCA gadget above actually works and is incompatible with 60hz, I'm wondering if that monoprice converter will allow the TV to run at 60hz while it converts the signal to 30hz for the adapter.
i dont really think it will, but its worth a try as its so cheap...
And i agree that converter is really expensive and isnt worth it... i would just go for dreamscreen or lightberry 4k -
Be that the case, we may be able to solve this with.... another converter! \facepalm
This gadget will convert a HDCP 2.2 signal to 1.4 (which I believe runs 4k at 30hz), so that could be the missing link? At $17 the price isn't bad either.
it converts hdcp, im not too sure if it will convert 4k to 1080p tho...this and a splitter that will do 4k hdr should work... although very expensive.
-
I'm inclined to feel like that won't make too huge of a difference when it gets to hyperion anyway - the default grabe interval for hyperion is 10fps, so if it can do 30 reliably that would probably be good. Hopefully the RCA converter doesn't mess with the frame rate of the TV connected to the splitter, but Murphy's law and all...
i think it will make the tv only do 30fps too... thats how hdmi works with splitters... -
Well I decided to gamble on the equipment I listed... You are right about the RCA adapter, but it was the closest thing I could find that was reasonably priced, so we will see how it performs. Plus its from amazon so I'm not worried about sending it back if it doesn't work (the reviews don't exactly instill confidence).
I'll be sure to share my experience as I fiddle around with this stuff.
awesome... well if you only want/need to output 4k at 30fps or lower then it should do the job fine. -

Well I go try test the monitor out on my amp, and unfortunately it does no supply the signal as I was hoping (can't say that I'm surprised, that tip came from a questionable source). Some amps do support this however, so YMMV.
So looks like its back to the drawing board for me...
I did find a 4k -> RCA downsampler:
SOUCOR Composite Converter Adapter Supporting
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4K-HD-Vid…2747633901.htmlBut the amazon reviews are pretty mixed.
I did find a splitter that seems promising tho:
https://www.firefold.com/splitter-hdmi-4kAs for using ADB... I guess that possibility is still on the table now. If I make any progress in either of these departments I'll be sure to share it here!
Thanks... I just tested my reciever and same, it doesn't output anything...Those hdmi to RCA adapters look like they are 2160p/30hz and non HDR.
And the splitter is good, but you would still need a downscaler, as plugging a 1080p device into that would limit everything to 1080p...
If you are willing to spend lots of money (I'm not) then there is something from Hdfury that will do the job, I'm not sure what it's called tho.
And there are other options that are £100+

I'll be sure to report back here too! I get my usb grabber in the mail tomorrow (I ordered the wrong one, make sure to get a UTV007 - these things all look exactly the same and descriptions are usually lacking), I'm sure hoping it works as expected!
i already had one laying around, but i dont think its utv007, it seems to work fairly well tho. -
Well the first option is hypothetical and certainly not something I'm advocating for (but I may consider that if my other option does not work).. It is confusing and as far as I know has never actually been done like that. It would also present a ton of other problem in the event it does miraculously work; such as netflix having DRM.
I'm rolling the dice with the receiver monitor out. Based on a conversation I had with another user on another forum, he is using his monitor out on his amp for this purpose.. I'm hoping my onkyo (can't remember the model) will exhibit similar behavior.
ahh ok...i just checked, and apparently my reciever does have monitor out, im not sure if it will send the hdmi signal over it, but ill have to give it a try.
-
Maybe "solution" wasn't the right word - it is a theoretical solution. All the parts seem to be there, but the missing gap would be the adb minicap -> hyperion. I would wager one could pipe the minicap stream to a full-screen video player that can be parsed by hyperion's internal frame grabber, but I haven't seen this done anywhere yet.
To my surprise my amp has a 'monitor out' which produces an RCA video signal, which can obviously be used with a usb grabber. If you are using an amp I recommend checking to see if you have one as it should give you a more immediate solution.
The first option seems really confusing... If someone simplified it or made a guide then maybe I could try it.I do have an amp, but I don't think it has a monitor out... I don't think it has analogue inputs at all...
And I thought that monitor out only works for the analogue inputs? It sends the analogue inputs directly to this monitor out becuase it can't upscale them to hdmi?
Which reciever do you have?
-
So is there a solution that's working currently?
And isn't too hard to setup?
