Thanks harun. I did reboot the Raspberry 3 a few times and reinstalled Hyperion and suddenly it all worked in Kodi now.

Probably will still do the colour calibration and then connect the USB grabber + HDMI splitter etc to get it working from any HDMI source but I have gotten much further now.

So just to answer my own question. Kodi at least via OSMC should work outright when everything is set-up correctly. No additional software / plugin needed. I believe the internal grabber needs to be enabled however for Kodi to work (please correct me if I am wrong)

2nd observation: I used the colour picker and the colours were all wrong when leaving it at RGB. Red was blue and it was all over the place. Had to change it to BGR for me (I tried one after the other) and that displayed the colours correctly according to the colour wheel.

This may help someone in the future.

For me the current issues are solved. I will see how it goes when adding the USB Grabber / HDMI splitter etc.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Total newbie.

Tried to find a simple answer and did some search but I am still confused.

Setup everything according to this tutorial here: https://hyperion-project.org/t…mbilight-no-soldering.77/

Using OSMC + Raspberry Pie 3 btw. with APA102

I can change the colours via the colour picker in HyperCon and that works perfectly after I changed it to BGR (from RGB) but I am stuck now. Eventually I want to have it set-up to have a USB grabber, HDMI splitter etc.

However for now I would be happy if videos on Kodi would actually show any colours. I think I have to enable the 'Internal Frame Grabber' on the Grabber tab which I did but when playing videos on Kodi nothing happens.

I enabled the Kodi checker and left the Kodi IP address at 127.0.0.1 and TCP port at 9,090

Should this all just work automatically or do I need some kind of plugin or perhaps it wont work at all with Kodi / OSMC.

Perhaps you have a nice link where this is explained well or if it's an easy answer perhaps you could let me know.

Again, totally new to this so probably super simple for one of you.

Thanks

Thank you very much. I will order an apa102 in this case.

Hello everyone,

Probably very easy to answer but I couldn't really find the answer.

I want to do a DYI Ambilight project from any HDMI source. There are tons of good videos but I am still confused about 2 things. Hope someone can clarify this.

1st Many videos indicate that I need an Arduino (besides the Raspberry Pi3 B) especially when using WS2812B but some videos seem to skip the arduino part while everything is pretty much the same but they are using the APA102 controller LED.

So now I don't really understand if the controller (WS2812B vs APA102) determines if I need the Arduino or why some builds need one and others do not.

Don't get me wrong the Arduinos are very cheap but there are so many parts already (HDMI switch/ HDMI Splitter / HDMI to AV converter / USB Video Grabber and Raspberry Pi3) that I would like to leave out any additional parts if I don't need them.

I would rather pay a bit more for APA102 LED's if that would allow me to not use the arduino.

Also, quick follow-up question. Would you generally recommend the APA102 over the WS2812B in any case or would you say the difference is quite minor. I am by no means an Audio/Videophile and just want a good experience.

@Mods: If I created this in the wrong section please move if you can.

Thanks.
