Is there any news on recording HDMI input and no sound?

Just to confirm situation is still the same. Video plays back fine, but no audio.

HDMI IN is a farce… Used as a marketing trick  to sell those boxes. Drivers limit both resolution and sound. On VU+ 720p and PCM Stereo only…

I assume it is a legal decision not to allow any HDMI signal in, it would be a great way to copy protected content do disk .

 

HDMI-in is internally connected to the transcoder. There is a patch that allows 1080p which is installed, but E2 has never been properly adapted to it.

On which Vu receivers are you able to record and playback audio correctly from the HDMI input? Are you changing any defaults on the source signal?

I only own a VU+Ultimo4K using AppleTV on the HDMI IN port. Given the restrictions, this works. I can’t change anything on the signal - even if I wanted to. AppleTV doesn’t offer any option..

My DM920 can even record 1080p but this is not OpenPli obviously

720p works, and has always worked afaik. I've tested that about about 6 months ago with a SKY box + HDCP killer connected to it.

 

But I couldn't get 1080p to work (it displayed at that time but you can't record it), and my knowledge of C and Enigma internals is very limited, so I gave up on it.

I recorded this from a chromecast playing lucifer/netflix its connected to an hdmi spiltter on the hdmi in of a vu+ultimo 4k with openpli 8.1

So to avoid ambiguity and confusion,  are you are saying that HDMI in recording works OK for video and sound using Ultimo 4K?

[WanWizard]

As I said, 720p should work. I had that working on my Duo 4K last year, from the output of a SKY box.

So what am I doing wrong? I still cant get audio recorded and never have been able to. The sources I have tried are Enigma2 receivers. I have not changed anything in the audio output settings.

[WanWizard]

I don't know, I haven't tried it since some time last year, and now my Duo 4K is in the attic as a recording box, and I can't test with it anymore.

Hi, ich habe keinen Duo 4K sondern einen Xtrend ET10000. Mit dem OpenPli-7.3-Image kann ich unverschlüsseltes Video/Audio in 720p/25f mit AAC-Stereo aufnehmen. Wegen einer Hardwarebeschränkung darf aber während der Aufnahme nicht der HDMI-Input auf dem Fernseher sein, sondern ein Tunerbild. Wenn der HDMI-Eingang eingestellt ist gibt es keinen Ton. Um solche Aufnahme zu erleichtern habe ich mir einen Timer erstellt, der dann im Hintergrund arbeitet während auf dem Fernseher ein Tunerbild erscheint. Um den Timer einrichten zu können, musste ich den HDMI-Input als einen  TV-Favorit abspeichern.  Dazu musste im Enigma2/ das userbouquet.favorits.tv durch diesen Eintrag ergänzt werden (ob das bei jedem Receiver funktioniert weiß ich nicht):

#SERVICE 8192:0:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0::HDMI Input

#DESCRIPTION HDMI Input

Jetzt gehe ich so vor. Ich erstelle einen normalen Timer mit einem x-beliebigen TV-Sender. Vor dem Abspeichern muss dann noch der Kanal über die Favoritenseite auf "HDMI Input" geändert werden.

Höhere OpenPli-Images hatten allerdings eine grauenhafte Bildqualität, Bei anderen Images wie von OpenATV oder HDFreaks gab es andere Probleme. Das OpenPli-7.3 läuft perfekt!

[Abu Baniaz]

I know how to do the recording. The other images also have a function to select the HDMI input and to record it without having to manually add details to the bouquets.

 

I don't have a problem with recording audio with a Golden Interstar LX3. PLI don't make images for it.
