Question: Does it work for Fire TV Stick 4K to stream directly to WLED? #167

Closed strech345 closed 2 years ago

strech345 commented 3 years ago

Hi, I want to grab the colors from a fire TV Stick 4K (especially for Kodi) to stream it to a arduino ESP32 with WLED.

So i have the following questions:

for now ive this two things running, but i coudnt connect it to each other. So i understand that i need to run a separate hyperion server. But i dont know understand why i need this.

Not sure if it will fix your issue but try changing the message priority to something like 150.

I have this working with my new chromecast google tv device. LEDs lights hooked to wemos d1 mini with WLED installed and hyperion running as an add-on within my home assistant server

hi @ikrowni yes thanks. i got it also running after change the prio. I ran it with a hyperion server on pi3. For me it was the question if i really need a hyperion server, or if the android grabber can work directly with some arduino software like wled. I think for now its only possible by having a hyperion server running.

Yea I think you will have to have the hyperion server running in order to tell the sled instance what to do. The only other thing I can think is to use a capture card hooked to the rpi which will let you cut out the need for the hyperion screen grabber app. But that's just more costly hardware and requires more wires.

Have you been able to connect the android grabber to Hyperion NG ? I always have the same error : Unknown error. The grabber works well on my smartphone with my hyperion NG server, but not on the stick (Priority is 150).

Thx !

yes for me it works. also have same prio. ip and port are correct? ive 19445. maybe there is a app to ping hyperion server from fire tv stick. s check if its reachable

Ok I finally got it working ! I don't really know what the issue was, but restarting the stick fixed it. It might be linked to the ADB Hassio plugin that gets the stick status using Debug mode.

I had tried everything but a restart, which is all that was needed indeed...
