What about adding one of those inexpensive USB capture cards to the USB port on one or both of your single-port LinkPi Encoders? I know several people have done that with good results, and I believe the devices are less than $10 each.

Here's one that's reported to work: Amazon.com: Audio Express AXHDCAP 4K HDMI Video Capture Card, Cam Link Card Game Audio Capture Adapter HDMI to USB 2.0 Record Capture Device for Streaming, Live Broadcasting, Video Conference, Teaching, Gaming : Electronics

And, a post referencing it:

The 5 port LinkPi is available on Amazon with fairly quick delivery. I have this one with some cheap ONN TV ($20 - not Pro) boxes, and have been quite happy with this setup.

I see you have compatibility enable ... I didn't and I found out that the device was still streaming but paused .. so it used up a stream ... so now that I have enabled compatibility it closes.

Thanks for all your help.

"The 5 port LinkPi is available on Amazon with fairly quick delivery. "

Thanks. Wish I had bought that the first time. Sling only supports 3 streams at a time, so it would probably be overkill. Would love to free up a switch port, but then is there a market for used single port LinkPis?

I had no idea. Ordered. (Thanks!)
Edit: Arrived and took about 5 minutes to setup and so far, is working great!

Make sure you have enable compatibility checked on ADBTUNER for your Channels if using MAX.

ok i will try

#1852

what about the guide offset? What is that for?

#1853

That is because I am on the West Coast and the HBO feed is from the east coast, so it is a 3 hour difference.

Enable Compatibility shuts down the APP after the recordings is finished ... Some APPS have problems if they are not closed after running for a long period of time. MAX is one of those APPS also XFINITY Stream that needs to be closed.

If you have it, you could test it by checking the box.

If you use Sling? make sure to get the corret link.
I think you have to use the URL under the play button on the page
Sling is tricky.

Sling STILL doesn't have deeplinks for the individual channels...

You can only get deeplinks to the currently playing show on each channel and it stops working after the show is over...
Has someone come up with a work around I am not aware of???
Only option I know of would be to "step through the channels one at a time using something like ah4c instead.
