    So do I understand your answer correctly, I can plug in an HDMI source (preferably an appleTV) and piccap can deliver the stream to hyperion nevertheless of the DRM protected content? I mean its not optimal but definitively the cheaper option probably

    Im running Hyperion for so long now and I can't imagine a new TV without this feature anymore.

    Unfortunately my TV broke last week - therefore im currently deciding the brand and model of my new TV.

    My biggest wish would be to throw the HDMI splitter, grabber and the FireTV stick away and be able to use the internal Smart TV OS of the new TV.

    I did some research and so far I found out that LG has a piccap app and android TVs have the Hyperion app which are able to mirror the screen to the hyperion.ng.

    Unfortunately this setup is lacking DRM support (Netflix and co) - which is not an option for me...

    Now I could just buy a Phillips TV (I know) but I dont really like the three sided ambilight they install on their TVs and since they dropped the ambilight + hue feature in the 2023 models, I can't upgrade to a four sided ambilight..

    My last hope are basically Samsung TVs. As far as im concerned are the Q60 series and higher now compatible with the so called hue sync app.

    Therefore you can add any hue lamp to the "entertainment area" around your TV - exactly what Im looking for.

    Only problem is the price - the gradient stripes are absolutely overpriced (Not talking about the App itself which would be 130€ alone).


    My Question now is: Is there any chance that the Samsung Hue Sync App is already or will be compatible with Hyperion in the future?

    There is such a thing called diy hue already, which is able to emulate a hue bridge and apparently one can sync the Samsung TV to this bridge and therefore to either Hue lights and even custom esp controlled light stripes. This would be my alternative currently. One disadvantage compared to hyperion though: Only up to 10 lights are supported - that means there are only three zones for the top and the bottom of the TV and two for the left and right side respectively - which is rather few compared to the Hyperion ambilight Im used to... On top of that I can't really find any information regarding the diy hue project in combination with Samsung TVs in general, so Im not even sure if it works as expected.


    Any thoughts on my project are really appreciated and sorry for the rather long text :D


    Thanks in advance!

    Hey im sorry if im missing something but I cant find a solution although it might be obvious..

    My setup are two monitors on my MacMini M1 and behind each one of them is an esp8266 which runs weld.

    My plan was to have an eye supportive background lightning which works, but as a long Hyperion user I was interested in trying to run hyperion on my Mac aswell.

    Unfortunately I cant get the two instances working as I would expect. Currently I have created two Instances with 17 LEDs each and set up screen capturing so that both monitors are recognised. But now Hyperion thinks that both monitors have 17LEDs in total rather than 34. Is there a way to get it working for my case?


    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    It seems that i have destroyed my apa102 led strip due to a short circuit on the raspberry. Unfortunately the RPI was damaged aswell so i had to replace it.


    How can i specify which leds are burned and which are still good or if all of them are gone? If i measure the voltage between GND and DI or CI it is way to high (close to 5V). If i remember correctly it should be only arround 1V.


    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Ich habe ambilight seit über einem Jahr am laufen und bin echt zufrieden, habe nur neulich mal wieder eine kleine Veränderung im webinterface vorgenommen und dabei ist mir aufgefallen dass es wohl ein Update gibt. Aktuell installiert habe ich die Alpha 6 und die neueste ist Alpha 9.

    ich habe leider vergessen wie ich das damals installiert habe, könnte mir vielleicht jemand erläutern wie man das Update macht? Bin echt total draußen was das angeht, damals hatte ich mich kurz eingelesen aber verstehe gerade nicht was ich machen muss …


    Vielen dank im Voraus, mir würde schon helfen wenn jemand eine Anleitung verlinken würde (habe leider keine gefunden)
