I've learnt that #TOSLINK and S/PDIF while #digital don't provide the same bandwidth for #audio than #HDMI 1.0. It feels weird though to connect any non-video media player to my #amp through... HDMI. Is there some digital standard that basically is HDMI sans #video?

This would be especially useful since while my amp does have HDMI input it is a bit... picky and despite pass-through enabled it reduces the video quality to FHD only in a setup like [source]->[amp]->[sink]. So currently I'm splitting the HDMI into video (HDMI again) and audio (TOSLINK or S/PDIF) and feed only the latter to the amp.

I acknowledge that the difference b/w S/PDIF and HDMI audio is probably not audible to me, but it annoys me in great detail nonetheless, that there seems to be no non-video connector for digital audio on par of HDMI. I wonder when we'll be connecting computer speakers to the PC via HDMI...

Hahumm, how do I get #KDE to save window positions per monitor?
Thing is, I have the internal laptop screen, and an external one. Internal is 4k, external is 5k. Usually I only use external.

Now, I have an #HDMI switch, and whenever I switch to a different input, #KDE thinks the external monitor is gone missing. It turns on the internal one (annoying already), but as that is only 4k, it moves all windows around.
Now when I switch back, the external comes back, internal gets turned off.

But all window positions are gone. Instead of being on the middle, left, all over where I left them, they all crowd on the right side. And I have to press keys, on all virtual desktops, to get things back to useful.

Each and every time. (Except for the #Emacs window, that stays where it is, but it is the only one. Whyever.)

I probably could script myself something using wmctrl, I guess, but meh, I would expect a Window Manager to be able to deal with that on its own. But can't find the right setting.

Reviving my love for the #dreamcast I was looking for a good way to connect it to my flat panel with #hdmi

This box is pure epicness: https://www.beharbros.com/akura

It even adds #scanlines if needed.

I am starting now with another console to be collected. And it's one that I really love: #dreamcast

I bought this console at the release here in #germany but sold my whole collection when I moved out of my parent's flat.

Found a lovely, almost new console. I bought the #akura #hdmi box https://www.beharbros.com/akura that I can play it conveniently on my flat panel.

Okay, ich brauche etwas #followerpower.

Habe hier einen #Apple #MacMini, der mit einem über #HDMI angebundenen Bildschirm betrieben wird. Leider habe ich der #Hertz-Zahl auf was vom Bildschirm nicht unterstütztes gestellt. Darüber meckert nun der Bildschirm mit einer ansonsten schwarzen Anzeige. Natürlich hat #MacOS die Hertz-Zahl nicht wieder zurückgestellt. Es blieb nur der Reboot, der ca zu 50% angezeigt wird bis der Bildschirm wieder auf schwarz schaltet. Was schon probiert wurde:

@macrumors Yes, I know about the Apple TV. It’s been there a while already. The TV hasn’t enough CPU power to run the app. It lags, is hard to use, has glitches, and so no. A big no-go.

So, I decided to get a real #AppleTV which runs smoothly and where the controller acts as expected.

#webOS isn’t great anyway. It has many flaws. Bottom line, I use the TV as a display unit for #HDMI input only.

Hallo zusammen,
am Wochenende wurde ich Zeuge, wie ein #N64 an einen #HDTV gestöpselt wurde. Das Ergebnis über #SCART ist erwartungsgemäß… … durchwachsen.Der Flatscreen- #TV hat neben SCART noch #Component und natürlich #HDMI. Habt ihr preislich pragmatische Lösungen, wie ein brauchbares Bild raus kommt? #retrogaming #Nintendo #Nintendo64

A year ago bought a hyped #minipc the #PN50 E1 type from #Asus with #AMD. From the start had a problem with #HDMI, when #Win10 starts from cold start the monitor turns off. After the reboot works. The front panel #USB unreliable (once works once doesn't).
I'm switched from wired mouse and keyboard to Bluetooth ones. The same: after loading windows once works once cannot find own adapter...
🤡
Some kind of #Asmedia USB driver problem... And still no fix for it... Just shame on you #Asus...

@Teucer
Thanks! That was very informative!

I'm still puzzled about why the #HDCP error would go away just by un/replugging the #HDMI cable between the #Roku and the #TrueMatrix switch, though. It sounds as though it should be a persistent error. (Which in fact it was when I tried to replace the cable between the #Sony #Bravia and the switch.. maybe I should have tried the one between the switch and the Roku. 🤔)

Throwing this out to the #Mastodon-verse..

Why the flying moose ears does my #Roku Express 2 keep gritching about an #HDCP error every time it powers up? And not immediately, either; usually only after I connect to a service.

Unplugging the #HDMI cable from the Roku and plugging it back in solves the problem -- until the next time.

It plugs into an input on a #TrueMatrix 4×2 HDMI switch, the output of which goes to a #Sony #Bravia.

And changing the Roku-to-switch cable just made it worse.☹️

Mal eine Frage am Rande. Welchen HDMI-Adapter möchte ich an ein Macbook Air M1 hängen und mir zumindest einigermaßen sicher sein können, dass er auch funktioniert?

Im #Netz wird in meiner Wahrnemung häufig ein großes Ding daraus gemacht, ein #MacBook #Air mit zwei externen #Display s zu betreiben. Lasst euch gesagt sein, es könnte nicht einfacher sein: Ein Dongle mit #HDMI in den einen Port gesteckt, das andere #Display direkt via USB-C angeschlossen - feddich.

Und bitte erzählt mir nicht, dass das eigentlich ThunderShit 4.0 ist. #ShutUp

@Sandfrogy@norden.social aha, das ist gut zu wissen für mich da demnächst ein #Adapter von #Displayport zu #HDMI wohl eingebaut wird am PC zwecks Aufnahme.

Denn ich hatte erst neulich bemerkt dass meine #GTX1660ti von #Gigabyte nur 1 Anschluss für HDMI hat und die restlichen 3 Ports alle samt Displayport sind. 🙄

Wieso ich damals beim Kauf der #Grafikkarte nicht diesbezüglich aufgepasst habe ist mir jedoch ein Rätsel...😩😅

Does anybody know a HDMI capture USB stick with YUYV 4:2:2 1080p out? Aka a capture USB stick that can stream 1080p to Firefox or Chromium? Those browsers only support YUYV it seems 😢
