One thing to note, the ENC5 V2 comes with a 12/2a power supply rated at 24w. I am using a poe+ switch and this poe splitter and it works great.
This might be helpful too. I documented my LinkPi setup and it is still as it is even though I said it was temporary haha.
I'm using 5V USB to 5.5x2.5mm adaptors to power the LinkPi devices so I only have one AC connection.

I have a Uray Encoder with 8 inputs and this is my Cable MGMT lol ... only using 5 inputs at the moment ... waiting for Silicondust to release ATSC 3.0 DRM. 4 Firesticks and 1 Google TV
I've been there with that sort of combination of devices, there's just no way to get it nice. You were smart to just not bother.
Thanks for starting this thread. I kept meaning to start one dedicated to LinkPi, but I've been swamped. Big fan of LinkPi and will share as I can.

Curious to see what, if anything, you got working on the link Pi itself after getting root access. Are you making use of this for your setup - which from my memory had something to do with spectum?

Hi all, picked up an ENC1-V3 after reading several posts around here. On a fun note, I was able to plug an inexpensive USB HDMI capture card into one of the USB ports and stream that as a second source with no issues - easy plug and play! I also found the repo that @turtletank posted above - was able to login as root, but haven't found anything interesting yet.

Nothing yet other than to change the nosig picture to a Channels Branded one. There is not a regular dynamic library that I could see, so I thought of statically compiling an ARM AH4C package to run in it, but haven’t had much time as of late.

I did USB capture testing as well. Please note LP will need a scheduled reboot each night if you leave the USB capture in production, else it drops off. Unless they fixed this in recent firmware.

Just picked up the box and no experience with these, has anyone tried Auto for the video size? I was thinking about setting all 5 hdmi's to that in case Channels picks a 4k event and I'm not sure what HDMI input it might send it to?
Also it seems I can only manually set 2 of the 5 HDMI's at 4k?
Thanks for any help to get this dialed in.
Haven't tried but the chart says you should be able to encode 3 @4K at same time on the ENV5.

Just keep in mind the 4K will be at 30 FPS, a limitation of HDMI 1.4.

How can you get the upgrade? Nothing shows up when I hit Online Update in the System Menu (other than the occasional "The network is abnormal" message)...
Mine came from the system update button, so not sure what to tell you. What model?
ENC1_V3. It didn't show the previous update either (20231229) but I found it somewhere in their servers. Now I can't find the url anymore. Is there a link to firmware downloads anywhere?
I logged into the LinkPi, chose "Options" at the top,and then chose "System." At the bottom of the System page, you should find "Upgrade" on the right. Click the "Search" button next to "online update." That should bring you to a display of the new versions available and you can do the update from there.
No luck. It gets stuck looking for the file and I get this message:
There's nothing abnormal about the network. If someone has a link to file, please let us know.

Ok mistery solved. I have UniFi and I had geo-blocked all access to/from China. Unblocked it, downloaded, upgraded and all is good. Thanks.
Upgraded to latest version. Seems stable.
