Ok, so indeed after days of testing this was not solved for me. It was acting strange, for example sometimes in dark scenes it will boot the background effect.
Until I have a bit more free time to find a proper solution, this is my workaround (Very specific for Hassio users, but might be useful for somebody)

I added the SSH keys so Hassio could execute a shell command without a password in the RPi running Hyperion, and then I added this in my configuration file:

switch:
- platform: command_line
switches:
hyperion:
command_on: "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no pi@your.ip.address 'sudo systemctl start hyperiond@root.service'"
command_off: "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no pi@your.ip.address 'sudo systemctl stop hyperiond@root.service'"

Then I'll have this new switch

And I automated turning on and off when the TV is ON

Oh wait! Now it works! I just had to change a few automatic things (Actually based on @Paulchen-Panther's first reply)

This did the trick for me: Changing the resolution, fps, and the decimation. I'm not if just one of those values fixed the issue or the combination of the three, cause I don't fully get the concept, but now it's working nicely!

Ok, so, I've been testing. Still not there yet, first I liked @jeroen warmerdam 's idea, a bit differently tho, I haven't looked into it deeply cause that's a plan b for me. But sending the commands from Hassio it's probably possible

sudo systemctl restart hyperiond@root.service
sudo systemctl stop hyperiond@root.service

I've tried @Awawa's settings, VMin=Hmin=0.01, VMax=Hmax=0.1 and 1024x768 with no luck.

But, based on @zolakk's settings, I don't get the colored bars anymore and the live video is empty, but then I get the background effect always running. So I think with this I'm getting closer but not there yet.

If I set the RGB thresholds to 1, 1, and 100, I get the colored bars back.

At least my new Plan B is better than automating a smart plug to cut the power of the led strip. But do you guys have something else I might be missing?

I saw those settings, but couldn't figure out how to use them. At the moment my settings are exactly like your screenshot, with the difference that I see an (unchecked) CEC detection checkbox and the size decimation is 8 in mine.

Ok, so Hyperion is always on cause the capture card is always transmitting something, is there a turn off by inactivity setting or something I could do?

This is what I'm getting while the HDMI source is off. And of course, I see colored bars in the LED strip

I have Hyperion installed on Raspbian on a RPi 4

My last resource will be a switch/plug controlled by Hassio to remove the power source of the strip, but that's a bit lame. Any idea is very much welcome.

Thanks a lot

Apparently, it was the grabber, I used this one instead https://es.aliexpress.com/item/328281347….d21b63c0wv1Ezu and a HDMI splitter

Damn, the images didn't work:

Hello, this is my first post and my first attempt of getting Hyperion working.
I'm following this video, I managed to connect the LED to the raspberry.

I'm having an issue with the image, tho.
It looks like the capture card it's not capturing correctly.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and this https://www.amazon.nl/gp/product/B089YLK1D3?tag=hyperioforum-21&ie=UTF8&psc=1 .

This is happening, Hyperion detects something (White noise) when I disconnect the USB, the idle animation goes in.

Am I missing something super obvious?

This is my config for the capture card (There's nothing in the logs).
Please let me know there's more information I can provide you or if I can export my whole configuration.

Thanks!
