Thank you Lord-Grey !
What a relief. I appreciate your help and the consolidation of my configs very much.
Guess I have to trust AI a little more in the future.

Upgrading and the migration seemed to work flawlessly. I am looking forward to latest version of Hyperion tonight.
Costa Rica 4k on youtube looked amazing.

Hi All,

Is it possible to edit a v. 2.0.16 config to enable the migration to v2.2.1?
I want to move and update the hyperion installation to a new LXC in proxmox but the migration is only possible with backups coming from v2.0.17 and newer.
I haven't seen something in the breaking changes on github.

Brave AI mentions this workaround:
Based on the available context, the recommended workaround for transferring configurations between incompatible versions is:

• Database File Replacement: If you have access to the old system running 2.0.16, stop Hyperion on both machines, locate the configuration database file (typically named hyperion.db on Windows/Linux), and copy it from the old system to the new system running 2.2.1.
• Export/Import via Intermediate Version: Alternatively, install version 2.1.1 on the old system, export the configuration from there, and then import it into the new system. Note that even this method may not preserve all settings perfectly, as users have reported issues with LED device stability (such as flickering WLED strips) after migration.
• Manual Reconfiguration: For complex setups involving multiple LED devices (e.g., WLED), manual reconfiguration may be necessary to ensure stability, as known issues with grabbers and LED devices in newer versions can cause devices to fail to initialize correctly after a migration.

I have attached the config backup of both instances.
I use PiCap and WLED devices.

Or is it recommended to re-config from scratch?

I'd be glad if, someone could point me to the right post/article. Don't need a step-by-step guide. I don't want to waste anybodies time!!

Thank you

I made it with WLED:

Simple Setup - x86 + two WLED

Hi All,

First of all thank you so much !!! Team Hyperion !!! for bringing this nice project to the community and making it so easy to understand, that even guys like me can have a setup

Let me show you, what I have done so far:

youtube.com/watch?v=NiMZ6aSeOZY

It is an LG 55" OLED Display with Yamaha AVR and Nubert 5.0 sound system. Hyperion is installed on x86 hardware with LibreELEC Media Center Software and TVheadend. The LEDs are SK6812 RGB(N)W connected to two Wemos D1 Mini. 108 LEDs on the…

Have fun

This should be possible with WLED

Config->Time&Macros

I did not test it, however.

It does not seem to be complicated.

Set a preset with the considered brightness level and the time.

I would do it via Home Assistant, as you could set more dependencies…

cheers

If would rather go with WLED installed on a Wemos D1 mini, or better a ESP32 with copper ethernet.

I run mine over WiFi which turns out in flickering when there is heavy load on the network. RJ-45 and hardwired should do the job sufficiently.

Hyperion is going to be configured with WLED as LED hardware.

good luck

externe grabber sind immer eine option. Oder PicCap, solltest Du einen rootbaren LG TV haben

nards1134 just an idea, if you are iOS user.

You could make 2 shortcuts to send SSH commands to the hyperion host.

These can start and stop the hyperion service. not sure if something like shortcuts could be done with android as well...

What wonderful news!!! Thank you SO MUCH, sanzoghenzo

I've also found these very useful scripts:

Proxmox VE Helper Scripts | Scripts for Streamlining Your Homelab with Proxmox VE

you will find hyperion under Miscellaneous. Just tried it and it works perfectly as expected. Version 2.0.15 was installed flawlessly.

There are many others....

Love it

cheers

you could try flashing LibreELEC !!9!! if available and follow this one:

>version 9 won't support hyperion anymore

Not sure if it will work - have no experience with le Potato

Hi mastershotgun there is still no working plattform grabber in Kodi - you have to work with an external grabber or - in case you have a root-compatible LG TV - with Picap. Since LE11 also the script isn't working anymore. You have to run the service in a docker container or Proxmox LXC.

If you go with ESP32 or ESP8266 you are going to run WLED as "translator" on the ESP. No need for arduino anymore. The ESP gets powered by the same power supply as the LEDs

I assume you like to run LE11?

If yes, then you will need Hyperion (Server) running in a Docker container within LE11.

You have to configure the WLED instance in the hyperion.ng server. After this is setup you have to configure the IP of the Hyperion server in Picap. If all is done right, you are enlighted

My setup is based on Wemos D1 Mini over WiFi. Hyperion Server runs on a Proxmox container.

With WiFi based boards you will introduce some more latency as you can imagine. For me it works however...

Hi All,

this might be clear for most of the experienced Proxmox users already -> for me it was tricky to setup hyperion in a container.

In case there are other Proxmox n00bs out there wanting hyperion to run as a container instead of a VM:

1:

- unprivileged container - set name and password

- pick the Debian 11 Standard Template

- 8 GB disk size (Standard)

- 1 Core

- 1024GB RAM, 512 Swap

- network depending on your needs

- DNS same as host

When the container is setup and running, head into the console through the proxmox webUI and login as root user with the password you've set

2:

type into the console:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget gpg sudo && wget -qO /tmp/hyperion.pub.key https://apt.hyperion-project.org/hyperion.pub.key && gpg --dearmor -o - /tmp/hyperion.pub.key > /usr/share/keyrings/hyperion.pub.gpg && echo \deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hyperion.pub.gpg] https://apt.hyperion-project.org/ bullseye main\ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hyperion.list && apt-get update && apt-get install -y hyperion

Everything should install automatically and Hyperion.NG should be accessible via "the.IP.you.chose:8090"

Thanks Lord-Grey for pointing me to psychowood who basically made all the work.

I am n00b and wrote this one down just for google

i will write it down in an extra thread

Thank you so much!

ich habe das jetzt auch nochmal mit dem Ubuntu 18.04 versucht.

Nachdem ich gqg installiert habe und die drei Schitte aus der Doku befolgt habe, bekomme ich das:

E: The repository 'https://apt.hyperion-project.org bionic Release' does not have a Release file.

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

wie hast Du das gelöst potti86 ?

ich finde im container auch keine apt.conf, bei der ich

allow-insecure=yes

setzen könnte.

Das habe ich mir hier ergooglet:

Ubuntu Manpage: apt-secure - Archivauthentifizierungsunterstützung für APT

In der VM habe ich zwar keine Probleme - würde dennoch gerne im Container haben

grüße

wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, hat Disney+ und Netflix auf Kodi funktioniert. Ich teste das mal bei Gelegenheit. Wollte eh Der Manalorianer noch gucken...

Hi potti86

Ich hab das nur in der VM hingekriegt. Musstest Du noch zusätzlich Pakete installieren, damit es im Container klappt?

Das würde mich brennen interessieren.

Wäre super, wenn Du mich erleuchten könntest

Danke Dir und Grüße

I guess it is not a good idea to enable both, .NG and HDR

Try .NG only

MrNFNx

Herstellerseitig auf jeden Fall! Sowas geht immer auf eigenes Risiko!

Im Ernstfall kommt es aber darauf an, wie genau sie hinschauen und wie der Defekt im speziellen Fall aussieht.

Wo liegt der Unterschied die leds per wled anzusteuern.

Der Unterschied liegt darin, dass WLED ein eigeständiges, von Hyperion unabhängig steuerbares, Produkt ist. Damit ist man in den meisten Fällen flexibler. Ich bin bspw. gerade dabei einen proxmox hypervisor aufzubauen. Dann wird Hyperion künftig in einem Container laufen - die LED hardware bleibt davon unberührt. Aktuell läuft Hyperion bei mir nicht immer - nur wenn LibreELEC an ist - und ich will auch Licht, wenn der HTPC aus ist. Und das geht dann per WLED. Für die Zukunft möchte ich auch LEDfx zur Lichtsteuerung bei Musik einbauen. Dafür kommt mir WLED dann auch gelegen. Außerdem können über WLED auch mehrere Hyperion Instanzen angelegt werden.

Grüße und viel Spass mit Hyperion
