Hypercon-LE

Sword · May 6, 2021 at 2:02 PM

Been trying to set up a simple kodi/ambilight mediacenter with libreelec.

I tried hyperion.ng, and while it worked I had issues with hdmi turning off/on.

I know there is a libreelec Hyperion addon that is supposed to be configured with hypercon-le. But I am haveing trouble running the java file. It appears it was forgotten in the past with java 7.

Here are the errors when trying to open it with java 11. Any tips?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "."

Hmm, I fixed that issue almost 2 years ago but it seems the fix wasn't merged... You can find the link to a working build in the github PR here: update to latest upstream version, fix exception with JRE >= 9 by HiassofT · Pull Request #4 · LibreELEC/hypercon · GitHub

Ah, and I probably should add that it's very likely you'll have the same screen blanking issues at 4k output with the LE hyperion addon - these are general issues of the screen grabber used by hyperion.

Fantastic! Approved post and the Dev popped in. Better than I could have hoped.

The new hypercon-LE starts up just fine! Thank you

The non-working version came from the libreelec wiki, here:

https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/hypercon

I don't really watch 4k, maybe some local 1080p videos and some 720p videos with the netflix addon. Does it still blank with Netflix?

I haven't used the Netflix addon for ages, but back then when I did IIRC it worked just fine with hyperion so I couldn't reproduce the issues so not quite sure what caused that. ISTR adjusting the grabber resolution (to 512x512 or sth like that) fixed that - just use the forum search function and you should find tons of info about that.

so long,

Hias
