Hyperion autostart automatically

I have the same problem and have not found a solution. Hopefully someone provides some help.

From a ssh terminal try:

systemctl enable service.hyperion.service

If it still does not start, what are the results from:

systemctl status service.hyperion.service

It's possible that adding:

RestartSec=15

to the startup service file might help as well.

I have the same problem and can’t figure out a solution. Does it matter at what position in the config file RestartSec is written?
Can someone please show the correct config?

It's placed under the "[Service]" section, last line in that section is fine.

Hope it's of helps.

I have just tested it without success.

This is my config:

[Unit]
Description=Hyperion Systemd service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
UMask=007
ExecStart=/usr/bin/hyperiond /etc/hyperion/hyperion.config.json
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
Restart=on-failure
TimeoutStopSec=10
RestartSec=20

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Anybody having further ideas?

If I open a console and enter:

sudo killall hyperiond
sudo service hyperion start
nohup hyperion-v4l2 &

... it starts immediately.

Are you positive that the service file it's enabled at startup?

Running,

systemctl status service.hyperion.service

After a failed startup, could uncover or hint to what is going wrong.

I had the same problem. My initial work around was to install "Raspberry SSH Lite" on my phone and assign one button to "kill hyperiod" and another button to "systemctl start hyperion.service" which worked fine. My final fix was to replace the OS with Jessie and autostart on reboot is fine. for what's worth. Stretch also has the same issue with restart after reboot.
