I will start this project in 2 weeks as this is exactly what I was looking for. There are some commercial solutions but very expensive. I will build this for fun and learning.
Well done mate, watched a few videos and yours is the clearest (especially the Hyperion Config explanation part). I did my 85 inches with the same setup like yours.
A couple of tips for those trying to do this for the first time. If you have a difficult time connecting to the Raspberry Pi from typing its hostname in, instead use a Scanning Tool to find the IP address of the Pi. I used Advanced Scanner and was able to connect to the Pi by putting in its IP address into Putty. For the Hyperion setup, I used it's IP address:8090. Question for Below Average Gaming: On my first time setup, I had an EXTREMELY hard time getting the LED's to start working. I followed your tutorial to a tee. Once I rebooted, they worked. However, today they stopped working. When I came home from work everything 10th LED or so was green/red/green/red. I've connected to the PI, I can see that it's capturing, but not sure how to get the LEDs working again. I rebooted everything, some of them came on, so I don't think it's fried, but not really sure what to do as far as testing the Strip or if there's anything else I should be trying in my settings to get them working again. Any tips? Thank you!

For getting your ip address you could also just run the pie like normal and type the command "ifconfig" and it should display. As for your LED issue that has happened to me once also coming home after work. For me, what fixed it was redoing the red and black connections that are connected to the barrel jack. Or replace the usb cable entirely. You could also try reinstalling the software. The worst option would be your led strip is fried
@@BelowAverageGaming Thank you for the info. Unfortunately I've had zero luck getting this working. I've gone so far as trying a new LED strip, new Power Supply, and new USB cable. All of the connections have been properly made. I've redone the setup on the pi/hyperion multiple times. I still have just a single LED light up white all of the time on both strips that I've tried. It's just crazy..it was working perfectly for about 2 weeks. No idea what caused it to stop. Any more pointers? I've gone to forums - I can't find any information on a single led being lit up.
Naice project! i also want to try this. but i was wondering if you can add more led strip to hyperion. like extra strip under the tv cabinet. or extra led poles, and assign them to the right location of the tv. i cant find any information on this. hope you have a link or information about this.
@@BelowAverageGaming and also more capture cards i suppose? i came accros this. going to try to figure this out. Search youtube for : DIY Ambilight and Synced Under Cabinet Lighting with Hyperion NG and WLED
ive actually been thinking surly there is a way to do this cheaper than comertial and without a stupid camera bar to sync everything, this makes it perfect for my setup!
Very interesting. I used to work with WLED to other purposes. I have 3 questions. You are capturing Chromecast via hdmi. Nowadays smart tvs already have all the main apps and they work fine, how do i could capture the video signal of the apps that already are integrated on tv? and the antena tv channels? The 2nd question is related about last videogame consoles, like Xbox X or PS5, they can work with 4k 120hz, is there any capturer and splitter that works with 4k 120hz? the 3rd question is where do you place the splitter, I asume that you put it between devices and rpi, isn't it? Thanks in advance.
I run an Nvidia Shield as well as a bluray player, but they're on separate inputs to my TV. What do you think is the most practical way to run this kind of setup? Two Pi's and two rows of led strips, or a remote controlled hdmi splitter and just one Pi?
Quick question regarding LED power supply. Half of the tutorials on youtube are saying you need to connect power at least every two meters of strip or at least power it from both ends, especially for 5V strip. But i see you didn't do it. Have you had any brightness problems after some time at the end of the strip?
Is that a android tv? iirc you can install hyperion on android . But drm contents wont work unless rooted. Also you can install hyperion on Linux and windows too and can capture screen using software and wont need rpi. rpi zero 2w should work and that might be cheaper. Hyperion also supports WLED controller. I think WLED+Hyperion is a cool combo, if you're not gonna use the capture card method. if you don't want to connect the strip to rpi then you can use an ESP32 flashed WLED in that case ig you don't have to configure rpi GPIO pins. ESP32+Strip+PSU+Hyperion on the device and soft capture will cost even less ig BTW thanks for the guide.
@belowaveragegaming hi I have all the uquipment ras pi 3b with hyperion 2.0 installed..... I have 224 leds ws2812b around my tv.... however I don't have a 5v 10amp plug I do have a 5v 60amp power unit supply could I wire it upto that instead or would that just blow everything tvs off the wall all ready to wire everything up but I don't know if I can use that power unit
@@BelowAverageGaming can amperage affect it then I'm quite new to this stuff lol keep gettin different things people saying if it's 5v then it will only take in what it needs etc think I might play it safe and have to order an adapter and barell then :(
i noticed one big error which was you plugged a 5v 15 amp power supply into the raspberry pi but the maximum rating on the raspberry pi is 5v 2.5amp maximum to cover power drop is 5v 3 amp so have you fried the raspberry pi yet?
Lol no, the Raspberry Pi 3 being "fried" by using a 5V 15A power supply is not true, as long as the voltage remains stable at 5 volts. A device like the Raspberry Pi only draws the current it needs. The power supply being capable of delivering 15 amps doesn't force the Pi to use all of it. It will draw up to 2.5 amps (or slightly more in case of peripherals) and ignore the rest. The only way your Raspberry Pi 3 could be damaged by the 15A power supply is if the voltage regulation fails, causing the voltage to exceed the safe range. This could happen with a low-quality or faulty power supply, but it's unrelated to the higher current capacity. As long as the voltage is correct and stable, having a higher amperage capacity is actually better, as the power supply won't be running near its limit. Then again, what do I know. I'm not an electrician
Hi, I was following along until I plugged in the power source into the barrel connector. The LED lights do not turn on at all. I am using a Raspberry Pi 2 instead. Would that have an effect? Is there a Hyperion setting that could help? Theoretically, if I were to just plug the frayed cables coming from the LED strip, would it light up? Appreciate any guidance or assistance you can give!
Ignore, I should have watched the rest of the video!!! Disclaimer that the lights may not turn on until Hyperion is setup! Thank you for a great video. That would have been a great disclaimer (that lights may not turn on because Hyperion needs to be set up first) and saved me lots of time.
Brother... I've been having issues with this... Only first led(sometimes second and fourth) light up... And i am getting error - Lock/unlock handler - session bus is not connected... Any idea what could be wrong here????
Check your connections with the barrel Jack connector and make sure they're secured. If the positive and negative wire cross you can burn out the LED strip
@@BelowAverageGaming I think somehow my LED was problematic cz i tested it from mid way and it was lighting up fine just not following the sync... anyways i've ordered a new one and will comment if this too gives issues.. Thanks-
Hello. Is there a video capture capable of 4k HDR? Because if I use the device shown in the video, the apple tv switches back to SDR mode. Another question: If the image is dark gray (e.g. a menu), the LEDs will blink dimly. Can this be eliminated somehow? I guess some sort of sampling threshold or something. Thanks

@ I haven’t reached that step because my raspberry pi is not maintaining 5 volts after wiring up the power. The red light won’t stay on the board.

Hey man! So I got to the part after flashing the SD card with the Raspberry Pi Imager, then installing it into the Pi and booting up. When I get to the screen after boot that says "Hyperbian" in large text, there is no IP address of the Pi; instead it just says "to configure Hyperion browse to :8090 from another device...". Any tips? Running a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
So you have to connect the pi to the internet to get the ip To do that open up the terminal and type in sudo raspi-config The go into system options and set your wifi info Then go into localization options and set the wireless lan country That "should" fix your issue To check, open up the terminal again and type in "ifconfig" or "sudo ifconfig" (not sure which one lol) And it should tell you your ip. Additionally if none of that works then delete everything in the SD and try again. Make sure you set the wifi options within the imager
@@BelowAverageGaming Thank you, trying that now! Should setting the wifi options in the imager automatically add wpa_supplicant.conf and ssh files onto the SD card or do those have to be added manually?
@@mysticqro950 Again, personally I use a game console because it can run those applications on top of playing games. ( You could probably use a roku or fire stick as well) I don't know of a way to make this capture built-in apps on the TV. Perhaps if there's a capture card that can record things from your TV? Then you could in theory have it capture itself for the lights (just guessing)
If they are Built-in apps into the TV no. But I'm running an xbox series S in this video, I am able to watch hulu, Netflix, TH-cam and so on without any issues
It would be cheaper, but you get what you pay for. I've heard govee has a weird delay/sync problem. Check out this video if you're interested, this guy compares Hyperion to govee th-cam.com/video/mbf4cxpz74c/w-d-xo.html
My dad owns the Govee one and it has a more noticeable delay, and the colors aren’t as accurate. I made my own for my gaming monitor and now my dad is impressed how it looks way better than his lol
@@BelowAverageGaming Thanks for the answer, my Zero is set up and Hyperbian is also running on the browser. Does the Firestick work with Netflix with the HDMI splitter or do I need a different splitter?
Thanks I see the capture card is 1080 though name says 4k would it not result in drop in quality Also would be worth to upload video to showcase Disney Netflix running no one has any video
@dinjoDJ I haven't noticed a drop in quality I wouldn't upload a video just to showcase Netflix working, but this video does show clips from TH-cam and in-game content. If you're really freeling froggy about it you can jump in the discord and I'll post a video of Netflix running sometime. Edit: I would also like to add that my capture card used here is optional. if you would like to spend the extra money on 4k equipment you most definitely can and I would encourage it
I will start this project in 2 weeks as this is exactly what I was looking for. There are some commercial solutions but very expensive. I will build this for fun and learning.

@@mysticqro950 Isn't that 5v when the Pi expects 3.3v. How does that work?
Does this work with builtin streaming platforms like Netflix, disney+ etc in android tv?
If they are Built-in apps into the TV no.
But I'm running an xbox series S in this video, I am able to watch hulu, Netflix, TH-cam and so on without any issues
@@BelowAverageGaming OK and thanks for your reply. But is there any way through which we can make it work with built in apps?
Wouldn't it be cheaper just to get something like Govee?
It would be cheaper, but you get what you pay for. I've heard govee has a weird delay/sync problem.
Check out this video if you're interested, this guy compares Hyperion to govee

My dad owns the Govee one and it has a more noticeable delay, and the colors aren’t as accurate. I made my own for my gaming monitor and now my dad is impressed how it looks way better than his lol
Can i use the parts with a raspberry zero ?
You can, but I believe somebody in the comments here tried it and didn't have much success
@@BelowAverageGaming Thanks for the answer, my Zero is set up and Hyperbian is also running on the browser. Does the Firestick work with Netflix with the HDMI splitter or do I need a different splitter?
Does this works with drm apps like Netflix?
I can confirm that Netflix, hulu, Disney plus, and all that stuff works for me using my xbox
Thanks I see the capture card is 1080 though name says 4k would it not result in drop in quality
Also would be worth to upload video to showcase Disney Netflix running no one has any video
@dinjoDJ I haven't noticed a drop in quality
I wouldn't upload a video just to showcase Netflix working, but this video does show clips from TH-cam and in-game content. If you're really freeling froggy about it you can jump in the discord and I'll post a video of Netflix running sometime.
Edit: I would also like to add that my capture card used here is optional. if you would like to spend the extra money on 4k equipment you most definitely can and I would encourage it
I hope you open that cabinet when you game to give those consoles some air
Yeah I open the door during game time, it's only the xbox in there
@@BelowAverageGaming I see switch too
