OSMC and Hyperion

Anthrax · 11 October 2018 18:26

Hey Sam,

first off my chest: just got the Vero 4k+ delivered to Germany! Wow, I love it - amazing work from you guys!

But Hyperion is still giving me grief like it did on the Odroid C2 I had to send back because the amlgrabber seems to be broken badly.

So after spending the whole day building Hyperion and Hyperion.NG back and forth with only the menus lighting up my 160 LEDs (framebuffer) I’m about to give up on video…

One final straw would be to test your kernel patches (?) for GE2D support…
Where can I find them and howto use/build them?

best regards
Anthrax

I hope to get some time to look in to GE2D again in a week or so.

Sam

Anthrax · 11 October 2018 18:53

Oh well, this would be awesome!

cracking job.

Anyway I could help?

Marcus

sam_nazarko · 11 October 2018 19:38

I’ll let you know if / when I need some testing or further information.

Sam

Anthrax · 11 October 2018 19:57

Happy to help!

I have some time to address this now. As previously suggested, I’ve set a minimal hyperion_main.json:

root@osmc:~/hyperion# cat /root/.hyperion/config/hyperion_main.json 
"device": {
    "colorOrder": "rgb",
    "output": "/dev/null",
    "rate": 1e+06,
    "rewriteTime": 5000,
    "type": "file"
},

However, when I run Hyperion, I get:

[hyperiond MAIN] <ERROR> Failed to parse json data from /root/.hyperion/config/hyperion_main.json: Error: illegal value at Line: 0, Column: 1
[hyperiond MAIN] <ERROR> Hyperion Daemon aborted:
  Failed to load config!
[hyperiond MAIN] <ERROR> Hyperion aborted:
  Hyperion::getInstance used without call of Hyperion::initInstance before

Can anyone give me a minimal Hyperion config (no lights here) so I can see why GE2D isn’t being used?

Cheers

Sam

Hey Sam,

I guess you’re just missing surrounding brackets… {…}

Have a look here:
https://hyperion-project.org/wiki/hyperion-config-json-with-comments

UPDATE: this might be needed before the closing bracket as well:
"endOfJson" : "endOfJson"

Let’s crack this!

Unfortunately no luck:

If someone can give me a complete JSON file this will be great.

Maybe just try and use the whole example config and just change the device part…?

try running with verbose output parameter in case there are anymore hidden snags:

hyperiond -v

This is the one I use for my setup: https://pastebin.com/KQ6AtC0L

Thanks. I’ve tried with your JSON.

What changes do I need to introduce the GE2D error others have posted above?

Sam

Anthrax · 18 October 2018 09:44

Damn, I’m not @home

Did you build Hyperion or Hyperion.NG?

I think GE2D is hyperion.ng only but it’s all a bit fuzzy. So my suggestion should be we use the newer ng version (which I was able to build with the help from this very thread)…

Then this config file should work: https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/blob/master/config/hyperion.config.json.default

Please try adding this under the framegrabber:

"amlgrabber" :
{
	"width" : 64,
	"height" : 64,
	"frequency_Hz" : 20.0,
	"priority" : 899,
        "device" : "/dev/ge2d",
},

When I come home I’ll grab my config directly from the box…

sam_nazarko · 18 October 2018 10:08

I followed these instructions:

Thanks – not having much luck at the moment.

Sam

Anthrax · 18 October 2018 16:11

Allright, this is my config für hyperion.ng:

hyperion_main.json

I compiled with these parameters:

osmc@OSMC:~$ cmake -DPLATFORM=amlogic64 -DENABLE_AMLOGIC=ON -DENABLE_DISPMANX=OFF -DENABLE_FB=ON -DENABLE_OSX=OFF -DENABLE_SPIDEV=OFF -DENABLE_TINKERFORGE=OFF -DENABLE_V4L2=ON -DENABLE_WS281XPWM=OFF -DENABLE_X11=OFF -DENABLE_TESTS=ON -DENABLE_PROFILER=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release …

which produces the following error while running as a service the second I start a video file (it seems to use the framebuffer for menus and the amlgrabber/ge2d automatically for video playback)

sam_nazarko · 18 October 2018 16:37

Perfect. I’ll give this a go

sam_nazarko · 19 October 2018 15:37

Thanks for giving me the compile instructions. That’s handy to verify I’m building with right options.

I can confirm the issue is ioctl related. I am investigating.

Anthrax · 24 October 2018 06:44

Hi Sam,

I know I’m nagging, but is there any update on this?

cheers
Anthrax

sam_nazarko · 24 October 2018 12:01

I’m still working on this

Cheers

Does this mean it works now? I have no lights to test with.

To test this update:

Login via the command line
Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch-devel main
Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove the line that you added after updating. This will return you to the normal update channel.

Hi Sam,

will try tomorrow and report back.

Have a good night.
