Hyperion 2.0.15

on GitHub

Hyperion's February release provides you with the latest updates and fixes.
Key new features: You can now stream to a dedicated WLED segment, put Hyperion in Suspend or Idle mode or apply dominant color rather than mean color processing.

Many thanks to @EliteScientist who contributed with an audio grabber which works as the other existing grabbers,
i.e. you can use the input feeding multiple instances in parallel or forward the input.

Added

• Audio Grabber to add audio visualization support for both Windows and Linux.
• Support streaming to individual WLED segments (requires WLED 0.13.3+).
  To allow segment streaming, enable "Realtime - Use main segment only" in WLED's Sync Interfaces setup screen
• Allow to keep WLED powered on after streaming and restoring state
• Allow to Disable / Enable all instances (#970) by
  • Suspend/Resume support for Linux and Windows (#1493,#1282, #978).
    Suspend/Resume/Restart is supported via API, UI, Systray and hyperion-remote
  • Idle scenario via Screen Locking (Linux/Windows), Screensaver invokation (Linux), hyperion-remote or API
    In Idle, all instances, components will be disabled besides the output processing (LED-Devices, smoothing).
    The current priorities will be cleared and the background effect per instance will be executed, if enabled.
  • Commands toogleSuspend and toggleIdle allow to flip between modes, e.g. might be used to trigger modes by a remote
• Reduced pixel processing to reduce resources on big assignment areas
• Support for squared mean color processing
• Support for dominant color processing on assigned LED areas (#1382). A simple and advanced way is provided. Advanced and high accuracy might be combined with reduced pixel processing to lower CPU usage.
• Add instance# in API response (#1504)

Changed

• Renamed LED area assignment naming to provide clarity on the processing algorithms
• REST API: Increased default timeout to address "Operation cancelled" errors
• LED Devices: Allow to differentiate between recoverable/unrecoverable errors

Fixed

• Effects/Smoothing: Effects with dedicated smoothing settings will now run with those settings (even if general smoothing is off)
• No interim color update at WLED after streaming and turning off WLED
• LED-Matrix Layout: Add Cabling direction selection element again (#1566)
• Restart correctly, if running as service (#1368)
• Hue-Wizard: In case auto discovery failed, port 80 was not used as default (#1544)
• Send only one reply per Start Instance request (#1551)
• Add instance# in JSON-API replies (aligning to Add instance in websocket response to a subscription #1504 behaviour)
• hyperion-remote: Extracting reply for a configGet request correctly (#1555)
• Grabber fps setting was not applied correctly
• Smoothing: No empty updates

Technical

• Add CodeQL for GitHub code scanning
• Update to Protocol Buffers 3.21.12
• Update to Mbed TLS 3.3.0
• Qt6 alignments
• cmake support of libcec without version in lib-name
• Refactor for Python 3.11 deprecated functions
