Hi guys how do I access the permissions file in osmc for Hyperion I can only get 50 LEDs to work at a time and I’ve been emailed and have been told I don’t have the right permissions can anybody shed any light on the subject thanks
well first of all the permissions should not have anything to do with how many leds you can access(i think)… at least not on my setup.
what is your setup… what leds strip system do you use… i use lpd8806 and lightpack(usb).
-H
edit:
I use this tool to make the config:
@HarryL thanks for the reply mate I use ws2801 leds and can power more than 50 have tried 5v 8amp 5v 10 amp and a 5v 2amp pi power supply all light the same amount of leds 50 have tried powering both ends of the led string but to no avail thanks
Make a new config with the Hyperion config tool on windows/Linux and use that configfile.
Be sure to specify the correct number of leds and their location.
The number of leds in the configfile shipped with hyperion is only 50.
You haven’t put two strings with different controllers together, or have you?
@mcobit a guy on github said he had the same problem as me then emailed me back saying ha had solved the problem this is his message …I’ve solved the issue for me. The problem was that I have wrong permissions on this folder and file:
/opt/hyperion/config/hyperion.config.json
Fix your permissions and it will work… but I don’t understand what he meant by that he could have been a bit more specific lol
Do you have added leds by plugging in another string of leds?
@mcobit what do you mean by this… Do you have added leds by plugging in another string of leds… sorry I don’t understand I have I have on current string 27 on top 17 each side a total of 61 but only 50 will light up have even tried it in openelc same result only 50 will light up. its driving me insane now lol
can you send os the config ( hyperion.config.json )
and then just run this command:
ps aux|grep hyperion
and send os the output… (to check how you run hyperion).

@mcobit looks like this fella had the same problem http://openelec.tv/forum/unofficial-openelec-addons/75349-hyperion-ws2801-led-for-rpi-config-stay-the-same… is there a default hyperion json file that I’m not deleting and its using the default one all the time. I’m pasteing my hyperion json from laptop into network / osmc / hyperion any ideas thanks
The default file is in etc/
So do
sudo cp yourfile /etc/hyperion.config.json
Not sure if this is the real name right now, but you get the idea.
@mcobit will this replace the file that is there because iv been pasteing my file from laptop by going into network osmc then hyperion deleting the file that’s in there then pasteing the config file I created into hyperion file thanks
My head hurts a bit now…
Just copy your config file to the home directory. Then ssh to osmc and copy the file from home to /etc/ with sudo overwriting the old file that was there.
