    Hi everyone,

    I’m new to Hyperion and trying to set up ambient lighting using HyperBian, but I’m facing an issue where the Live View shows a black screen and the LEDs don’t work with the video input, even though other effects work fine.

    Setup Details

    Connection Flow

    • Smart set-top box → HDMI splitter input
    • Splitter output 1 → TV
    • Splitter output 2 → USB HDMI capture card
    • Capture card → Raspberry Pi (USB)

    What’s Working

    • LEDs are configured correctly in Hyperion
    • Test effects like Atomic Swirl and other animations work perfectly
    • USB capture card works correctly when tested on my PC
    • Capture device is detected by the Raspberry Pi
    • Capture hardware is enabled in Hyperion

    The Problem

    • In Live View, the screen is mostly black
    • Ambient lighting does not react to video
    • After changing some settings in the Hardware / Capture settings, sometimes:
      • Random colors appear on the LEDs
      • TV briefly shows a blue screen
      • Video appears on both the TV and Hyperion Live View
      • Ambient lighting works for a few seconds
    • After that, Live View goes black again and LEDs stop reacting

    What I’ve Tried

    • Rechecked LED configuration
    • Tested multiple Hyperion effects (all work)
    • Verified capture card functionality on PC
    • Confirmed the Pi detects the capture device

    Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!
