The difference is night and day! The delays are completely gone and the LEDS are way more responsive. Yesterday I plugged in the WLED directly on the Pi4 over USB and used adalight interface to control the LEDS over UBS instead of UDP. But it does work with any resolution / framerate / HDR. Note: Streaming apps such as Netflix or Amazon Prime block Remote Play, so it will only work with games. Note: You can set the video in Chiaki to stretch the full size of your phone's screen by swiping from top to bottom. You now use your Android device as a way to capture your Playstation and send the data to Hyperion! Setup Chiaki and enable Remote Play to connect to my Playstation and the PSN account created in step 1. Setup Hyperion Android Grabber by pointing to the IP address of the device running Hyperion, then start capture. Install Chiaki and Hyperion Android Grabber on my Android phone. Create a new PSN account on my Playstation which I only use to login as a Remote Play session.

Then you can use this source as a source for Hyperion. Using Remote Play, a feature build in into Playstation, you can basically share (and control) your Playstation screen on another device such as an Android phone. Please ignore the quality, could only use my laptops webcam Proper color calibration still needs to be done, and probably some other tweaking.Īnd i am using an splitter 4k for my external sources like ps4 pro. Here is little video of PS4 HDR software capture. Devs? Another way would be to use Tasker to automate this, together with Home Assistant, on an old Android device. Chiaki is open source and also available for Linux so there could be a way to run this on the Hyperion instance and even use it as a video source within Hyperion itself. Of course this requires some manual steps: turn on Android Grabber and Chiaki, but this is done in 4 taps on my phone. Using Chiaki on an Android phone (the official Remote Play app doesn't allow screen grabbing), together with the Hyperion Android Grabber app you can use ambilight with a PS4 Pro through software only and it even works with HDR content since Remote Play ignores/converts that! and found a way!īy using a separate PSN account you can start Remote Play and share your screen on other devices. I still wanted to have ambilight when playing games on my PS4 Pro though. Of course I would like support for 4k and HDR but that's to come, hopefully.

Everything below 4k works through Kodi, even Netflix, so I'm already quite happy with that. I didn't really want to invest in HDMI splitters/grabbers (yet) since it seems like a hassle to get them to work and I first would like to invest in a new AVR (with multiple outputs). Hyperion / Ambilight is automatically enabled/disabled when TV is on Kodi or PS4 source and sun is almost down (using Home Assistant). I got a lot of these blackouts on LibreElec even with 10fps to the LEDs. See post below.įrom my tryouts it seems Hyperion.ng DispmanX performs way better on Raspbian then on LibreElec: no signal blackouts or HDMI signal failure while grabbing at 30fps (even on 1080p 60hz content) for really fast and smooth lights. Update: Now controlling WLED over USB using adalight interface and all delays are gone. Since it's not a lot of work I'll try that out soon either through USB or direct wiring, even though it's not bothering me too much. I went for WLED because it seemed easier to configure but I'm curious now if there would be even less delay hooking the LEDs up directly on the Pi. Hyperion.ng data is send to WLED using UDP(Raw) and there doesn't seem to be much noticeable delay. Raspberry Pi 4 running Hyperion.ng Alpha 5 and latest Kodi on Raspbian Buster using internal framegrabber. 220 W2812b leds (60/m) behind my 55' LG OLED TV, controlled by a Wemos D1 Mini flashed with WLED and all powered by a single 5V 10A power source. I wanted to start simple and now have the following up and running: Thought I'd make my first about my current setup and findings. Hello all, first time poster but I've been reading this forum amongst other sources to build my ambilight setup which is up and running now (like many others here).
