Hyperion service on OSMC

[bont55]

Eureka! We did it and its working!

So the changes to

@hissingshark

n hyperion.service change:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/hyperiond
to
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/hyperiond

and
WorkingDirectory=/usr/share/hyperion/bin
to
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/share/hyperion/bin

and

@dillthedog

For now, edit the file and replace the %i with an appropriate username, eg osmc, that hyperion shound run under.

were necessary. As it would not work with user %i.
Then running

@dillthedog

sudo systemctl enable hyperion.service

Here is the output from ls -l /usr/local/share/hyperion/bin

total 18956

But i think that this settles it. Many,many many thanks for helping me out with this. After a few months of struggling with broken ambilight and refusing to watch movies without it I can finally go back to it.
