Switch hyperion on/off

**Da Flex** · December 30, 2018 at 7:57 PM Official Post

That's because the path to the Hyperion start command is somewhere else in LibreELEC. Let's find it. Please post the output of this command from SSH login:

Code

find / -name "hyperion*" -print

Does it start when you enter this line?

Maybe because of this?

Tried editing script and changing port 22 instead of 80..

Please set the port number back to the original value and comment the Python script out by adding # at that line:

Bash

#!/bin/sh
(
#    python /storage/hyperion/scripts/ledon.py
) &

Then reboot, and try the command from my last post again. Don't be too quick.

xevipc1 · December 30, 2018 at 8:49 PM

OK, I set back port to 80, edit autostart.sh by adding # and reboot

After reboot I tried /storage/.kodi/addons/service.hyperion/bin/hyperiond.start

Think I got the same.. :_(

OK, maybe the Hyperion service is already running when you try to start it. In that case the port number is not available anymore.

Please reboot (with Python script still commented out). Let's see if Hyperion already runs after start:

Code

ps -A | grep hyperion

**Da Flex** · December 30, 2018 at 9:19 PM Official Post

I guess I found the port 80 error. It's inside "ledon.py". One line must be deleted, and it should look like this:

Code

import subprocess
import time
 
subprocess.call('/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/.config/hyperion.config.json </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &', shell=True)
 
time.sleep(2)
 
subprocess.call('/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote.sh --priority 100 --duration 400 --effect "Rainbow Swirl"', shell=True,)

Please edit the file, and try to run it again:

Code

python /storage/hyperion/scripts/ledon.py

After that edit the "ledoff.py" to avoid the same port 80 error. It should look like this:

Code

import subprocess
 
subprocess.call('killall hyperiond', shell=True)

xevipc1 · December 30, 2018 at 10:52 PM

Thanks I deleted that line in the script, rebooted and leds remain off.

I run the script

This is what I get

LibreELEC:~ # python /storage/hyperion/scripts/ledon.py

Start effect Rainbow Swirl

Seems no error, but nothing happened, leds remained off :_(

Thanks

**Da Flex** · December 30, 2018 at 10:59 PM Official Post

OK. So, we still need to find out, how to start the service. What's the output of this?

Code

/storage/hyperion/bin/hyperiond.sh /storage/.config/hyperion.config.json

**Da Flex** · December 30, 2018 at 11:06 PM Official Post

And again the output of this, please:

Code

/storage/.kodi/addons/service.hyperion/bin/hyperiond.start

xevipc1 · December 30, 2018 at 11:07 PM

I finally got it! I recall I installed the Hyperion Service manually in LibreElec when I first set up the ISO (see screenshot attached). I disabled there and now it works!!

The python code is right as you suggested, I un-commented the python call in autostart.sh and now hyperion starts automatically after I reboot!!

You are the man, I owe you some beers. Thank you so much!!

**Da Flex** · December 30, 2018 at 11:12 PM Official Post

That's great, man! Thanx for the symbolic beer.

Please mark this thread as solved.

xevipc1 · December 31, 2018 at 7:29 AM

Just to be curious, do you know what that line we deleted in python code was for? (The one which contained port 80?)

Thanks
