![]() ![]() I'm obviously not looking to spend close to as a much as I spent on the brick of a Hue Sync Box, so I'm hoping there is something cheaper out there than the HDFury Diva that can handle it right.Īlso (and forgive me if this is a dumb question) but is there a way I could use my GeForce GTX 960 gfx card in my Debian media server (where Hyperion is) as the input/capture device from the splitter? Or is that a separate device I'd have to get as well in this scenario? (the card currently isn't utilized too much, as it's a headless server) I've seen some posts that this splitter may be a less expensive option that is compatible with Vision/HDR, can anyone confirm if this would work for me in my scenario? I've also got a ARC/eARC 5.1 sound bar setup I'd like it to be able to handle as well if at all possible. My main question though: would I still be plagued by occasional DRM non-starter issues in certain streaming apps if I switched from using Android Grabber to using a HDMI Splitter/capture device instead?ĤK Dolby Vision and HDR content is something that I watch a good amount, so obviously I'd want a splitter that's capable of handling them. (Please let me know if I'm mistaken and there's a way to make it work though!). ![]() and It seems like getting the gradient aspect working/integrated is either a no-go or a work in progress/feature request pending still, and that's ok. Unfortunately the Hue gradient light strip doesn't act exactly as it should with gradients in Hyperion at the moment it seems, just single color transitions for the whole strip, which hey- that's better than what I was getting. where I was, as far as display syncing goes, as my main streaming device is a NVIDIA Shield TV. Add on to that finding the Android Grabber app and that put me mostly in heaven vs. I already have a Debian 11 media server, so I just installed it on that and the setup/configuration was surprisingly easy (granted I'm pretty familiar with hacking away at setting up Linux server apps). It just left a bad taste in my mouth.Īnyway, a thankful refund for that (and I got to keep it, yay a free brick!) and some looking around landed me on stumbling across Hyperion. Tried every possible thing I could find out there to fix it, factory reset things (some of which I didn't even need to), etc. They'd just turn off (or stay off) once syncing started. The sync box was defective, everything worked fine, it would even "sync" with my devices-only the whole point of the device didn't work: changing the lights. I gather the hardware itself isn’t ideal, but did notice a couple mentions that in regards to gaming, it works.I'm somewhat newer to Hyperion, but after having my Hue Play Bars and Hue Play Gradient Light Strip on my TV for a while only to finally get a Hue HDMI Sync Box that was a complete dud it was an easy switch. When I found out your age, I was even more impressed! I am amazed at the level-headedness displayed when responding to irate a-holes who seem to be too caught up with their own entitlements/appear too lazy to dig in and find out what features the app ACTUALLY claims to be able to handle (I know when I was at that age, I most definitely would not have been able to resist sprinkling in a bit of snark in my replies…).Īnyways, what brings me here is a question regarding using the sync with the Chromecast with Google TV. All the engagement I have seen online from you has been very professional, attentive and polite. The ability to also try them for content driven lighting would be nice.įirst off, I would like to just throw some props towards the dev. The are embedded in shelving, not behind the TV. My lastest light set-up is based on Gledopto “Pro” controllers (which claim somewhere online to be much faster responding then the original ones) and while these are nowhere near the performance of Hue they are vastly cheaper and my intention when using then was not for media controlled lighting but more atmospherics. but if that is a choice by the developers and not an underlying Hue API then perhaps there could be a “Caution Here Be Dragons” tick box to allow paying users to test the risk for themselves? I do understand the reputational risks involved in allowing any old Zigbee lights to be driven, slow reponses, wrong colours etc. This is no better than the basic Hue app with the addition of capturing cideo direct without the need for an expensive HDMI box. I was not expecting it to appear to be a wrapper around the Philips app functionality and limited to a small subset of Zigbee bulbs/lights. I’m complete newbie to Hue Essentials and bought it for a number of reasons, all of which are as expected except the Sync feature. ![]()
