also i have just got connected to the device using RDC but even though connected no desktop appears. but if i right click anywhere on the black screen i get a context menu
Hello @Shazam1990 I think this is an issue from your TV settings, can you try checking your TV settings to make sure any kind of picture zooming is disabled ?
@Electr1 i have fixed the scaling issue. it was in fact a setting in the TV called “Just Scan” i turned this “on” and now i can view the entire screen as expected. so thats 1 issue resolved.
However my remote desktop connection still shows a black screen once connected. if i right click this black screen a context menu shows up on the screen connected directly to vim4
@Shazam1990 that is because the VIM4 uses Wayland default for desktop, not X11, so X server based forwarding will not work. the solution for this is to either remove all wayland packages and add x11. (warning: its is CPU based acceleration and is very slow)
Other choice is to use a wayland based remote desktop utility, gnome-remote-desktop package can allow you to start access for remote desktop from the GNOME desktop by default.
In regards to the HDMI in i have successfully managed to get the hdmi-demo to produce the image of the hdmi input. However when i close out of it it takes me to a terminal rather than back to the desktop environment why is this?
Are there any programs currently that can see the hdmi in as a input capture device? And is audio carried over hdmi in also?
@Electr1 This worked. thank you. its great to see & hear it working. Can this be used OS wide yet for things such as VOIP applications?
Video input capture works for the first 3 seconds, but then for the remaining 7 seconds the screen turns white/grey/blank
gucview just gives lots of options when opened says no video device found (/dev/video0) then below give a long list of items. none seem to show anything

this option is not shown at all i do not see (dev/video71)
@Electr1 thank you. Whilst i await your response on this can i ask…is there any method currently to listen to the audio coming in via the HMDI input? if no, please can this be made possible
my end goal here is to hopefully use the VIM4 as a capture card
@Electr1 i am using another mini PC to output its screen to the vim4s hdmi input. it shows correctly at first as stated before during the “hdmi-demo”, but then it just goes completely grey. and no programs in ubuntu are detecting the hdmi input device you mentioned “dev/video71”
