Theetjuh: how did you get the grabber to see video. My grabber is working and I can do screen shots, but the lights only react to OSMC, they do not respond to the video I am sending to the grabber
Sorry didn’t see your reaction
Just use @ with my nickname to it … then I will be notified automaticly.
But to come back to your question, I had quite some issues with that aswell.
I think I reverted back to an earlier config, I could have a look tonight when I get back home again.
I have disabled the option so far … since I need to find a way to disable the lights when the TV is off.
@Theetjuh - looks similar to my config file, I added the grabber-v4l2 section last night. I think I am missing something on the PI itself. What tells hyperion to use the grabber video instead of OSMC ? How did you build your image after installing OSMC (what else did you do ?).
Thanks for all your help, seems like I am pretty close
I first installed Hyperion the normal way, thus according to their own website.
When I had that running, copied my config I used earlier, that made everything working like it was!
When I got my usb video grabber, I used this guide for the config and screenshots, hope that helps you abit also!
@Theetjuh here is my config file for hyperion – click here – I followed the steps and same results. The lights work and I can send commands to turn them red (or any color) and I get a clear screenshot, they just don’t seem to respond to video, just OSMC. Did you install mplayer or anything like that ?
I can load my img file in dropbox or something if that will help
I will share anything I discover with you, just to make sure I understand it correctly, your lights only respond to OSMC and not video you are feeding into the grabber ? I plan on working on it until I get it figured out
yes, just through the device. I am feeding the HDMI from my Direct TV box, still having issues with it, lights turn blue but don’t seem to respond to video I am passing through the grabber, just what goes through OSMC
no matter what I send to the grabber the colors were way off, now that being said this was after I tried a few things. I am going to start fresh tonight and see what the screen shots look like, still have to figure out why hyperion does not use the grabber
Bringing back an old thread, I know. So I have been running Hyperion on a Raspberry Pi B running OpenElec for quite some time now. Fairly happy with it. About a week ago I noticed the lights were not on when watching any source other than the Pi. I had not done any updates so the logical conclusion is a hardware failure somewhere.
This evening I loaded Hyperion onto a Raspberry Pi 2 running OSMC. Same results as with OpenElec. The lights work when watching the Pi but not other sources. A Screenshot showed just green. This makes me think that the grabber has failed but then I think that maybe it is green because the picture was lost before even reaching the grabber. Perhaps at the splitter or the HDMI to AVI. Long winded… How can I verify which piece of hardware has failed if any? I installed usbutils and the grabber does show up.
