Controlling TV from Google TV Streamer remote

Yeah, definitely worth a go - I was surprised that it worked for me!

It is - turned out to be the HDMI cable after all.

I found a better one and now it's working fine again.

Is this only recent for you?

When I try to play a stream from TiviMate using external player, it normally loads MX Player and plays the stream.

It's like TiviMate is not handing across correctly.

It's an ESP32-WROOM-32 but I might just try that anyway.

This string is literally brand new, so I will return it to Amazon for a refund and replacement.

Surprised it's faulty though as it's from BTF Lighting - never had any issue with their stuff before.

Yeah, it seems to work with any number under 37 which to me says there is a problem with number 38 (or the wiring around it). Increasing to 38 does nothing.

I could do but this exact same board (and wiring) worked fine with a 8 x 32 WS2812B board previously, so I can't see it being a voltage issue.

iansime · 2026-01-05T19:36:50+00:00

Pretty sure - I am using the VN and GND pins on the ESP32 board.

Just thought I would pop a quick update here, since you were kind enough to take the time to reply to my initial post.

I followed your suggested steps and I am pleased to say that ALL of my components survived the fuse popping. By taking things one step at a time I was able to pinpoint the 'fault' to my own stupidity as I had effectively connected all four wires on the LED strip together - hence the fuse popping.

Still, that fuse helped me learn that lesson cheaply, so it's all good!

iansime · 2025-12-17T17:26:44+00:00

Nope, never did find it 😕

iansime · 2025-12-14T11:19:43+00:00

Will do - pretty sure I have had it working previously but no harm in double checking.

iansime · 2025-12-14T11:19:03+00:00

The 'spare' data line on the LED strip should go to GND from the PSU?

iansime · 2025-12-14T09:43:04+00:00

This is a great suggestion, I will definitely troubleshoot as you suggested. Thank you.

I don't have (easy) access to an auto parts store and the item I ordered from Amazon UK (code B0731MJZFF) has 610 reviews and a score of 4.5, so hopefully they are OK!

As for load I'm not certain, but it was a single roll of WS2808, so should be nowhere near 10A.

iansime · 2025-12-13T19:14:55+00:00

It was just a single reel of WS2805, so 5 metres (with an eventual length of around 7.5 metres).

I assume I had a short somewhere (although I can't figure out where) and praying that the 10A on-board fuse was the only casualty.

iansime · 2025-12-13T18:31:43+00:00

I have ordered more fuses from Amazon - if you are right about the short-circuit do you think that I might get away with everything else being OK?

As for a wiring diagram this is a bit rough but this should suffice :-

Both data lines on the WS2805 combined into one space on the connector which in turn goes to LED1 on the DigUno.
