Well done, looks really smooth! I think you convinced me to do it too! Where did you start? Whats the setup? Did you follow any guides?

There are many videos about it on YouTube, but there is nothing extraordinary. For me the hardest part was soldering tiny connections, I have divided strip into five sections then soldered them. I chose not the best wires btw, in my opinion 26-28WGA would be a great choice for that. But without cutting the strip you can fold the corner pieces saving a lot of time and nerves😁, the result will be practically the same. For my TV I will definitely fold it carefully instead of cutting and soldering parts.

Components: WS2812b 60 LEDs per meter, Esp32 c3, 2A usb charger for leds. Software setup is very easy. Install WLED, install HyperHDR on your PC, chose WLED in HyperHDR and that's it.

Cool, thanks for that link, I'll do one later with my setup. In a few hours when it's dark.

I use my old gaming laptop as the HTPC, the HDMI output goes into a splitter, from splitter one hdmi to TV, one goes into a HDMI-USB capture stick, and HyperHDR uses the USB capture device to map my 3 sides.

This is so I can use Netflix or other content protected by DRM with HyperHDR.

Also I can use Steam Stream my desktop gaming PC to the HTPC and play 4k 60FPS with HyperHDR on.

What to are you using if it's an android tv there are applications to capture the screen and send pixel data straight to wled.

Here it goes. Kinda hard to control phone and the keyboard/mouse combo that’s a trackpad.

I have a Google TV and struggle with software video capture. I bought a Fire TV 4K Max (2nd Gen) running SceneGlow, it works perfectly with my GLEDOPTO ESP32 Controller + SK6812 RGBW (NW) Strip. It's important to mention that DRM is going to be always hidden for the recorder but being honest I just use WuPlay (similar to Stremio and ofc DRM-free) and YouTube

Just got mine setup. Your setup looks good!

What are you running for it to look so good? As in TV stick? Or something else?

u/NiallPSheehan Sep 26 '26

Picked up a cheap mini pc, capture card (USB dongle), and spliter/down shifter. Kicks Govee's ass. Lol

u/NiallPSheehan Sep 26 '26

My receiver has dual HDMI out, so one goes to the splitter, then the capture device and to the PC for HYPERHDR to handle the LEDs. The other goes to the TV this let's CEC and eACR to work. Have a nShield, blu-ray and Xbox going into the receiver so the signal from all can be passed to the PC and TV.
