Greetings,
this looks strange. It is possible that your av converter output that pulse. Hyperion just outputs what it gets.
Greetings Brindosch, thanks for your answer.
Yes, it is really really strange. I will give you as much information as I have.
- I tested AV converter and it outputs nice image. (so this AV converter is not causing it)
What I found out:
When I run
hyperion-remote -c red
hyperion-remote -x
hyperion-remote -c green
hyperion-remote -x it starts pulsating in some parts of my LED strip (video included).
Sometimes it needs more -c and -x cycles to start pulsating. When hyperion service is running and it starts pulsating, I just run "sudo shutdown -r now" (hyperion service is terminated properly) and after reboot everything works ok (no pulsating anymore until I repeat -c and -x cycles).
BUT if leds start pulsating and hyperion crashes at the same time (this happens always when I run approx. 7 times -c and -x cycle) my leds continues pulsating even hyperion service is not running anymore (because of hyperion crash). When I reboot my Pi with "sudo shutdown -r now" pulsating continues over the whole reboot time and after initial rainbow reboot effect it pulsates again (I think because hyperion service was not terminated properly so it did not reset leds before reboot //because hyperion service crashed//). In this case I need to unplug power and after power replug it works again normally.
I think there is problem (somewhere) in hyperion service during controlling leds.

P.S. I found out, that sometimes command "hyperion-remote -x" goes back to live mode without led pulsating and sometimes it causes pulsating. Command "hyperion-remote -c red" (or any other color) never generates pulsating.
It looks like it has something to do with v4l2 grabber settings: width, height, framedecimation, sizedecimation, cropping.
