LinkPi encoder family

I'm a little leery about using the USB 2.0 port even with that report . The Elgato described says it needs a USB 3.0 port. Regardless, 2 LinkPi minis were cheaper than the ENC1v3 and the Elgato Capture card so I went with that.

I have to say, I'm still perplexed by this. It's a happy development as I was stuck at a max 1080p50 before. Granted I was not using the Elgato. I'm wondering if the newer ENC1v3 have USB 3.0 now.

EDIT: I guess the only way to know for sure is to order an Elgato and a new LinkPi, test with my existing gear. I will report back.

Very interesting. My original release ENC1v3 has always shown hardware supports Super Speed (3.0), but I could never get USB3 devices to enumerate at 5000. Even in your picture, it looks like the Cam Link is connecting at High Speed, so I assume still USB2. That Elgato must be doing some sort of magic. Impressive.

My thoughts exactly! Thanks for contributing to the community.

Well, looks like you made the right choice. I have many of the MS213x chipset based capture cards. They are cheap, but have all capped out at 1080p50 on the LinkPi.

Is it possible the Shield is overheating?

Been spending time troubleshooting and testing, realized I have not contributed to this thread in a while. Anyone interested in customizing their LinkPi No Signal to be Channels Branded?

If so, I will do a quick write up.

Is that just a jpeg.?

Special format YUV file. I made one a while back, would share.

I’d be interested in learning how to get it in the linkpi and the special format required. A quick search told me how to convert a jpeg to YUV. I’m sure Gram would love to see pics of new grandson when tuning to a channel.

Is there a POE model for the 5 HDMI port version?

No POE model. Just purchase this splitter to convert. If memory serves me, it’s the 2.1mm.

Does 20251130 have the same problem reported in 20250831 with black levels?

Hmmmm - my LinkPi web UI won't work after this upgrade - may want to hold off for a bit

I updated and can get to my web UI. Granted I have barely changed any settings since I only recently got my LinkPi device. Using an ENC5-v2. Version installed is:

Sys version 4.4.0 build 20251130

Odd issue I am having

http://192.168.1.250/hls/stream0.m3u8

is the only link that works for the LinkPi in my setup

http://192.168.1.250/live/stream0 and http://192.168.1.250:8090/stream0 both fail to play

This is affecting the ability of ABTuner to work in my setup

All 3 links work just fine in vlc and all are set to play via MPEGTS in channels

I feel like I am losing my mind.

It was already on the latest 4.4.0
Then I tried again. Works again in the ADBTuner preview button but doesnt work in channels again

It seems like it just started working.
Not sure what changed.
If I have one tuner for a channel in channels with ADB, will it share that channel across end points?

And also, what are considered the highest quality settings that we can use for LinkPi encoding?
