|
|
I would like to get a HDMI video/audio capture board which is supported under Linux.
What I would like to do is to capture data from a cable-TV decoder (which has a HDMI output) and stream it out on my LAN so that it can be watched on XBMC clients, or at least using mplayer or similar.
Any suggestions for such a board and driver/software? |

As an aside, if the cable-TV decoder has HDCP, are there any HDCP decoders? I suspect these would be very low key and quite illegal... or at least the media industry sure wants them to be... _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD
What am I supposed watching? |

The signal does not seem to be HDCP decoded out of the decoder. I can still watch TV even if HDCP is disabled. However, it could be that future channels might be HDCP encoded so you have a very good point.
Another option would be to use some device which will transport the HDMI data over ethernet and assemble it back HDMI so I can use the HDCP decoder in the TV. This would of course be a perfect task for a HTPC given the right hardware. Does such a card exists? |

You could use a hdfury and connect it to a Hauppauge HDPVR
That would do HDMI -> Component -> V4LV2 capture device
It says it even supports HDCP decode
You would then stream that out again using vlc

Never tried the hdfury but I use a HDPVR as a capture device off a cable box all the time |
