KVMD 4.4: HDMI passthrough on V4 Plus is stable now
Thanks to the work of the Raspberry kernel team, a bug related to incorrect colors in H.264 was finally fixed while working with passthrough.

After a long and thorny path of research, we are pleased to present the promised HDMI passthrough feature for PiKVM V4 Plus.
For the H.264 stream, there are now options to rotate the virtual screen.
Today I have prepared a great update for you. After few weeks of research, I managed to increase the video performance slightly reduce the latency for all CSI devices (PiKVM V4, V3 and CSI-based V2).
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.
Now you can disable the blue mouse dot.
In this release, you will get many improvements regarding video quality and EDID.
Starting from this version, the /etc/kvmd/nginx.conf
config will be replaced with the /etc/kvmd/nginx.conf.mako
template, which will be rendered to /run/kvmd/nginx.conf
taking into account the /etc/kvmd/override.yaml
parameters and network configurations.
We've been working for a while to unify DIY builds and simplify instructions. The result was a new DIY platform V1, which replaced V0.
Previously, to support PS/2 keyboards (only), it was necessary to assemble a complex circuit on Arduino. With the transition to Raspberry Pi Pico, we finally have full support for both keyboard and mouse. The design has been greatly simplified, and is now compatible with V4 Plus.
