sorry to hear that, it does seem that tcl cheaps out a lot of their cpu in their tvs, i have had the most sucess for any 4k grabber content on an external firestick

that is strange to be fair, are you sure it isnt any of ur hyperion settings sorry

thati s amazing news can you try this, ill try look to see how it works

ok yeah its 100% something tcl has done with their whitelist for apps on their news, it seems it will just not work on tcl tvs, im trying to get it work now though

thank you so much appreciate the logs will try it now,

adb shell appops set com.hyperion.grabber PROJECT_MEDIA allow

adb shell appops set com.hyperion.grabber START_FOREGROUND allow

adb shell cmd deviceidle whitelist +com.hyperion.grabber

daszr can you try this?

ok thank you guys, sorry again for my late response had a lot of school work to do and to be honest playing terraria haha.

anywho

im working on a fix right now and it should be published tonight, i am super sorry for the issues everyone is facing and im working hard to fix it.

eMd and daszr im working hard to fix ur isues right now, personally i havent had issues with 4k content crashing it but i will reduce memory consumption and daszr im trying to fix the tcl watchdog flagging the app currently, hopefully i should be done for some time tonight.

contagon it should work for all apps that dont have drm, for example plex, jellyfin, emby should all work and thats what i tested it on, let me know if oyu have any issues since plex should work, please tell me ur device.

Stophammer this would seem like an issue with ur client you just need to put the ip for the hyperion which should be just the hyperion ip and not any ports with it, hopefully that solves ur issue

the update has been released, hopefully it fixes all your guys issue, im pretty sure tcl might be buggy with it since their watchdog is super strict, but isnt as enabled on my tv apparently???

1. Go to Settings > Apps > Hyperion Grabber
2. Enable "Auto-start" or "Allow background activity" permission
3. Some TCL TVs have this in Settings > Privacy > Special app access > Auto-start
   
   
   run this please if you have a tcl and then it should work

hey sory for the late replies everyone

agreen you do not have to root your tv to install the grabber

Edoardo are you using the newest release version? i testedo. my tclc6k which is the same as the tclc6ks well it should be atleast, and it worked fine there.

daszr aswell yeah same message sorry, if you could try and debug the app and get the logs from your tv and then ill implement a fix based around that

if you can just run

adb logcat -d | grep -i "com.hyperion.grabber" > hyperion_grabber_log.txt

and let me know the response from the logs i would be happy to help

Oh sorry for the super late response,

the grabber should work fully on HDR content, i have tested on dolby vision, hdr 10+ and hdr 10 content and it all works, it depends though the reason why sometimes it doesnt work is because if oyu try on netflix or something thats DRM protected so the grabber can't grab it.

The reason why i abandoned HDR was because it has insane requirements, for example it requires to send and process 720p, which nearly no smarttv can handle or device, for example i tested it on the firestick and it resulted in around 30-40 frames of just delay.

Let me know what app your using for the content, i have personally tested it on jellyfin and plex and emby, but yeah.

it should hopefulyl work, if you encounter any issues let me know i will try fix them, right now im working on hdr support.

Hey sorry for the late response,

I am usingn a TCL C655K, running android 12 and a zfold 3 running android 15

I updated the app to be compatible with android 14+

aswell it should fully work now with flatbuffers, increasing performance.

so i was testing out the project, and figured out it has a major performance issue with hdr/dolby content, because it causes it to send hyperion tone images back it has a lot of processing, i can not disable that and thsi is the only method to get streamed content there/

just wondered if anyone had any ideas.

thanks
