problem with this is your hdmi loop says "60 hz" but then also says "max 30 fps" for both the hdmi and usb. if you are using this with a 60-120hz TV panel, you will be halving your performance on the hdmi output
Great guide. I have all the components I need and am at the point of assembling the setup on the TV to discover the Pi 4 doesn't have 2 usb inputs. It has one usb C input which is used for power so I don't know what to do.
Thank you. Great video. Everything works. I have one question: after a few minutes my led strip will turn off. Raspberry is running but the led strip is off. I have to restart raspberry. Do you know where is the problem? Thank you.
thanks for the video. Do you know if it works with an android tv with netflix, hbo, etc? Many people recommend using a splitter with an edid selector and a separate capture card for this reason.
Hi, great tutorial! WHat If I have APA 102 LED strip? that LED strip has 4 pins instead of 3. I guess 2 for data? Which 1 should i connect to gpio 18 on raspberry pi?
Thanks for that great tutorial. This looks awesome. Do you have any idea why i get only solid white light? The colour test also stays just white. The number of pixels is shown correctly..

which is the resolution coming out of the HDMI output if the device you used?
Thanks for sharing the products and instructions, ive got one question. Can i run a media center beside Hyperion on the raspberry pi? Or should the raspberry pi only be dedicated to the Hyperion software?
Yes, absolutely! The Hyperbian image is just a Raspberry Pi OS lite with the Hyperion software preinstalled. On Raspberry PI OS you can install whatever you wish
@@KPeyanski I bought everything what I've should buy from your links, but instead the Raspberry Pi Zero W i have the Raspberry Pi 4.. But i am facing a issue, only the first 11 leds are getting on, what could be the issue?

This video got me subscribed!!! I have one question, what about if I want to use my plex media server that I have in other raspberry instead buying a video capture? Is Hyperion support a server setup instead a hardware providing the media. Thanks a lot!!
Hi Walmer, first of all thanks for the sub - you won't be disappointed :) Regarding your question - I can recommend to ask in the Hyperion forum as there are people that are more knowledgeable than me in that matter. If you find a good answer please share it here as well. Good luck.
Great video!! I use dream screen and works great but it’s too expensive, I added the same setup 2 months ago but I just can’t figure out color sync with the tv, did you had any issues related?
Hi Jaime, try changing the RGB Byte order settings located under Configuration > LED Hardware. By default is set to RGB, but in my case with my LED strip I had to change this tor GRB. I will check this dream screen as I don't know nothing about it.
@@KPeyanski thank you for the tips👍 the colors are good only issue is the refresh time between what’s playing and the Led lights , led lights seems to have like 3 second lag
Hmm that is not good, I also have some lag, but I think it is around half a second or something which should be normal. An honestly I don't know what could be the reason for your 3sec lag. BTW What is your raspberry and what is your Hyperion version?
@@Jr01atlTech I think that delay will come from your video capture device. If not watching source at the same time as the capture, which you are doing now, you would not normally notice it?

Hi Justin, what is the price of the Philips Hue HDMI sync? If I remember correctly the total price of everything (raspberry pi + LED strip + HDMI + PSU) was about $70-80
Do you know the density of the LED strip you used? Do I need 144 LEDs per meter or would 60 LEDs per meter be enough? I can’t find a 5 meter strip with the high LED density anywhere!
@@KPeyanski awesome thank you for the answer I’m going with 60 per meter. Would I have to get a different power supply for this? Or do you think the one you used would suffice? Thank you for all your help!
Thank you very much for the video! This is the most detailed, but also the most inexpensive option I've seen. I would like to clarify with you, I have an external hard drive with different films connected to the USB port of the TV, perhaps somehow I can connect the ambilight so that it works when playing video from this drive?
Excellent video! Greetings from Brazil! I have a question: I'll use this maily connected to my Fire Stick Lite, do you know if I have to look for a DHCP capturing card? I've been looking for this information but it's been hard to find an answer. Thank you in advance
I can't answer this as I never heard about the DHCP capture card before. Are you sure such thing exists? Why you should capture the DHCP to get your LEDs to be in sync with your TV? I don't get it. Please explain a little bit more. Meanwhile greetings to Brazil as well :)
Have you noticed that the capture to raspberry pi is cropped ? From 4K original video it is captured as shifted 800x600 resolution which produces the actual LED output. Not very accurate
I'm not sure, my setup is not HDR to tell you from first hand. But I think it should work, I saw somewhere in the options that you can eve set it up for 3D.
Great video! I don't seem to have a "Jumper wire" - are these something needed separately? For now I've just wrapped it around GPIO Pin 18 instead. Nothing seems to be happening when i plug it all in, though. EDIT: Run Hyperion as root to solve some of the problems. I have lights but all it does is flash random colours very fast across the first half of the strip. It doesn't seem to matter what effect I activate, I get a chaotic flashing of all different colours that seems to be working its way up the strip further each time it starts again but never makes the end.Three random LEDs are always on in the middle of the strip. One red, one blue, one green. Edit 2: After significant trial and error, I've managed to make the back half of the LEDs light up a constant green, and the rest are still flashing manicly. This is still the effect no matter what I do. Not sure how I made it go green given that I asked it to strobe red.
But I'm using a smart TV which has everything in it...in that case. How would video capture device work? As I'm not using any external devices to tv...
I was able to get into the software but then i go to do the config wizard thing it logs me out and I cant get back in. When I enterraspberrypi:8090 into my browser it says there is an error. I can only get back into hpyerHDR if i delete it and reinstall it. Can anyone help?
Thank you for your tutorial, very clear. I've followed exactly what you explained, but I don't seem to get an image on my TV :( I have the exact same hardware as you do, but it seems that the HDMI Capture Card with Loop out doesn't see the entertainment box. I have an OSMC Vero 4K box and I also tried it with a Chromecast. I plug everything in and I get the startup lights but no image on the TV and no image in LED Hardware/LED Layout/LED Visualization. Do you have any suggestions on what to try?
In my opinion your HDMI capture card is the problem, I'm not sure how to test it if it is working correctly. Try google about such test and check if it is working. BTW did you power your HDMI card with 5V DC or not?
@@KPeyanski Hi, thank you for getting back to me. I figured it out! It was an HDMI cable problem. Simple fix. Yes, I am powering the HDMI card with 5V thru the RPi USB port.
Great video. But based on your demonstration at the end I can see that there is small delay and it would drive me crazy. If you see on 12:04 there is different color right bottom part of screen and lights in that corner change to that color after 0.5-1s. Would use of WLED help or if you change resolution that your capture card gets?
Hey! @kpeyanski! totally awesome video! I do the same system but use wled MCNode esp8266, now my question with the new update it seems the node via HDMI grabber its only giving me 30fps looking for 60 fps? would like to know thank you.
Was able to connect everything but I'm only getting the first couple of LEDs turning on. Dashboard says led hardware is off, I'm using the BTF WS2812b LED strip.
Try the following: 1. Double check that your power supply have enough amps for your strip length. 2. Run Hyperion as root. 3. Try shortest data cable as possible or use level shifter/sacrifice pixel.
@@KPeyanski I was able to turn on by changing to SPI and using GPIO 10. However, now i'm working on syncing the colors. Thank you so much for your help!
By any chances, which software are you using? I read version 9.0 works perfectly fine and issues started with version 10.0 which needs to be run like root. If you have a link to download version 9.0 would be really appreciated, thanks!
@@KPeyanski ah yea sorry I meant the actual capture box you use to capture the signal, they range from prices/specs so a cheap device would work? Just putting together the kit list now thanks for a great vid once again
Greate Video, actually all your tutorials are fantastic. I have an issue with my HDMI capture card where the USB signal out is just noise ie) when I use Live view on Hyperion it does not show the video (Im using Chromecast as input). I can see the video on my TV but not on my raspberry PI zero running Hyperion. Any suggestions? thanks in advance
I hear similar reports from time to time. I don't know what is the exact reason behind that, but I guess it is the HDMI capture card. Try to change it and double check your Hyperion configuration
@@KPeyanski thanks for the response.I wonder if there a way to capture the signal via Kodi or Plex or some kind of media server so that you don't need a USB at all.
Hi, make sure that you change Hyperion settings to USB capture and that you are connecting everything as described in the video and in my written article like this diagram -peyanski.com/tv-ambient-light-with-raspberry-pi-and-hyperion/#Attach_everything_Test_the_TV_Ambient_Lighting
It will work without problem but you need to install the Hyperion packages and not the whole image like I did in the video. Check the Hyperion web page for only package installation instructions. Everything else is exactly the same as in the video.
I'm not sure! I think RPI & LED should share common ground and this option seems reasonable. If you do it, then do it with caution and at you own risk! Good luck and let us know the results!
connected on gpio18, for 300 led strip, used all your settings config , but only the first three lights worked? is it because my power supply is only 5A, (couldnt find a 10A supply) ,however the pi works just fine? Any ideas?
The source/media should come from HDMI so the HDMI capture device to actually capture it. If your external HDD device is connected to some kind of media player which is connected to your TV via HDMI - everything should be fine.
Don''t seems to work, only one led or two or three light (randomly!) only if I connect and detach the GPIO 1 (the first at the left) ... can you help me? (i have try also with hdmi connection but nothing only one or two led ligthes whwn I attach and detach GPIO 1)
@@KPeyanski Yes I know I've try the sixth GPIO (GPIO 18) many times but no led lights ... after I I've try all the GPIO and I have noticed the weird behavior with the GPIO 1
The capture card that I'm using and recommending is 4K, but I'm not sure about the HDR part. Have to figure out how to test this. Of course it will be great if someone else tell from experience what is the result.
@@KPeyanski I am sorry, my question wasn't clear, I understand the LEDs and Pi will require an external power supply. I was more thinking about using the video signal to feed the Pi to take advantage of the TV applications (most of what I watch) and not just the external video sources (only DVD player in my case). I have seen this might be possible on "5 great uses of your TV's USB port by Dignited": "The USB port on the TV also allows you to connect accessories to beautify the TV and its surrounding environment and enhance the user’s viewing experience. Also, 8K TVs from manufacturers such as Samsung (this is what I have) and LG have a sports ambient light function, and you can also purchase third-party TV lights that can be connected to the TV via a USB port". Thank you for your response and your excellent videos.
If you have Home Assistant you can add the Hyperion from the configuration > Integrations and it will be available as a switch. Then you can create a simple Home Assistant automation for that. Maybe I should do a video in the future about this topic ;-)
No, the Raspberry should be connected to the HDMI capture card via usb cable. Exactly as shown in the video and in my written article - peyanski.com/tv-ambient-light-with-raspberry-pi-and-hyperion/#Attach_the_LED_strip_on_the_TV
Hello, I can't make it work, the settings are fine. I did it as it appears in your video. The LEDs do not change color according to the video. If you want to send you a video to tell me what I'm doing wrong, thank you for your attention.
Is that mean that your LEDs are showing the boot effect, but they are not in sync with the TV image afterwards? If so double check your Hyperion settings or try with another HDMI capturing card.
@@KPeyanski The problem was, it didn't saved my settings (default settings is 1led on top) . But still it doesn't work through the hdmi grabber with loop which gives no signal to the raspberry. If my play with settings won't work, I will buy a splitter and grabber as a separate devices.
@@KPeyanski Unfortunately, I can't make it work. The LEDs are all ok, the idle effects works, but the HDMI grabber isn't detected. In the capture settings, I have only "bcm2835-isp-capture" to select. Now I used hdmi to av and av to usb but still wrong. The only thing I missed from video was adding a SSH.
@@DudasDudek In the capture settings you need to select "camera 1". If this option does not show up, make sure you have the capture device is powered up before starting the Pi which needs to find a connected device.

could I use the old power supply from an Acer aspire one? It says 19v 1.58a
not sure about that. The amps are very little
Do I need a 4K HDR capture card to make this work on a ps5? Or will a regular HDMI capture card suffice
The capture card that I'm using and recommending is 4K, but I'm not sure about the HDR part. Have to figure out how to test this. Of course it will be great if someone else tell from experience what is the result.
wont work for HDR bro, you need a basic 4k capture card et and HDR spliter for that !
Why not use the TV USB port for this?
There is not enough power there
@@KPeyanski I am sorry, my question wasn't clear, I understand the LEDs and Pi will require an external power supply. I was more thinking about using the video signal to feed the Pi to take advantage of the TV applications (most of what I watch) and not just the external video sources (only DVD player in my case). I have seen this might be possible on "5 great uses of your TV's USB port by Dignited": "The USB port on the TV also allows you to connect accessories to beautify the TV and its surrounding environment and enhance the user’s viewing experience. Also, 8K TVs from manufacturers such as Samsung (this is what I have) and LG have a sports ambient light function, and you can also purchase third-party TV lights that can be connected to the TV via a USB port".
Thank you for your response and your excellent videos.
Hi, is it possible using pi zero without W?
Not sure about that. Probably there is some way to configure everything upfront, but don’t know how to do that exactly.
Can you use ws2801 with hyperbian
It is listed as controller type and can be selected. So I believe the answer is - YES!
How can I turn off the lights when it's daytime and I don't want them on?
If you have Home Assistant you can add the Hyperion from the configuration > Integrations and it will be available as a switch. Then you can create a simple Home Assistant automation for that. Maybe I should do a video in the future about this topic ;-)
Shouldn't raspberry be tied up with hdmi?
No, the Raspberry should be connected to the HDMI capture card via usb cable. Exactly as shown in the video and in my written article - peyanski.com/tv-ambient-light-with-raspberry-pi-and-hyperion/#Attach_the_LED_strip_on_the_TV
@@KPeyanski thanks mate
Hello, I can't make it work, the settings are fine. I did it as it appears in your video. The LEDs do not change color according to the video. If you want to send you a video to tell me what I'm doing wrong, thank you for your attention.
Is that mean that your LEDs are showing the boot effect, but they are not in sync with the TV image afterwards? If so double check your Hyperion settings or try with another HDMI capturing card.
Sometimes launching Hyperion as root helps. Try that.
@@jean-claudewallard9309 how can it be done? I just was able to connect everything but I'm only getting the first LEDs.
Can anyone help? I did as in the video, but when Raspberry starts, only the first led lights up in the color of rainbow for a few seconds.
that means you have connected the led strip and PSU correctly, double check the HDMI capture, and if the the RPI GPIO 18 connection is correct
@@KPeyanski The problem was, it didn't saved my settings (default settings is 1led on top) . But still it doesn't work through the hdmi grabber with loop which gives no signal to the raspberry. If my play with settings won't work, I will buy a splitter and grabber as a separate devices.
@@KPeyanski Unfortunately, I can't make it work. The LEDs are all ok, the idle effects works, but the HDMI grabber isn't detected. In the capture settings, I have only "bcm2835-isp-capture" to select. Now I used hdmi to av and av to usb but still wrong. The only thing I missed from video was adding a SSH.
@@DudasDudek In the capture settings you need to select "camera 1". If this option does not show up, make sure you have the capture device is powered up before starting the Pi which needs to find a connected device.
Čau Kiril 👍 Ty Kiril, ja Arnold. Ty BG ja SK but my national is HU:-) Kiril in SK is Ciryl ... Si dobrý expert and chorošo čelovek! Ja lubju tvoje videja! Óčeň chorošo! Sposíba!
Strangely enough I understand every word that your wrote, not so easily but I understand it. Thank you and greetings to SK and HU :)
@@KPeyanski 👍👍
how many GB is the memory card
It should be at least 4GB
Ja mám problém s meteostanicou cez RF433Mhz. Ja uživaju RTL SDR V3 Pro dongle na mqtt... Temperature, vlhkosť (humidity) data is OK , but rainmeter ja nemogogu spojazdniť :-) Skús natočiť video prosím Ťa. Éto výzva pre Teba :-) ( is a chalange for You) :-)
This time I used google translate. Try it out as well next time and translate your comment to English and someone may answer you. On your request about the video, I don't have such dongle and it will be very hard for me to make something, but I will think about it as I aways wanted good weather station.
@@KPeyanski OK Kiril, I try It. Thank You. Have a nice night!
You too & take care!
My pi burnt out 😔😣.
Why? What happened?
@@KPeyanski I believe I need to separate the lights (12v) and pi or get different lights.
DOnt follow this tutorial, there are far better out there that actually work
