We promised it at the start and finally it's almost done. The V4 Plus will get an HDMI passthrough on one of its outputs. Right now It's working on my desk, and it's pretty good: 1080p 60 fps with vertical sync, perfect 24 bit color and zero-latency.
We want to change some default values in the EDID (information about the virtual display) so that it looks not like Toshiba-H2C, but like PiKVM, and also change the vendor code.
kvmd-edidconfFor the happy owners of V2 and V3, we now offer a new utility, kvmd-edidconf. It will help you configure EDID (the display metadata) and provide import/export for EDID modification using advanced editors such as AW EDID Editor.
A few months ago, due to the release of Bullseye, the usual video encoding method used in PiKVM stopped working in the new kernel. OpenMAX and MMAL were deprecated and uStreamer has ben rewrited to use new M2M encoder. Now the work is almost completed and everything seems to be working fine.
I have a very important request. We are preparing for a big update that will improve compatibility with BIOS and UEFI on many devices, and I need as many people as possible to check out the new build of the kernel and core packages.
For those who use VNC and want to reduce the traffic using H264.
I found a way to improve USB HID/Mass Storage compatibility with some motherboards. I would like to ask you to check if there are any problems because of this. If successful, if you didn't have MSD working, it may work after this change.
I need the community's help in testing the new version of ustreamer (the video server of Pi-KVM).
After installation, Pi-KVM will be available via USB OTG from the managed server via the virtual serial console port.
