Blikvm v4 - No Video

[jgitperth]

I have an odd issue with my BliKVM v4 AllWinner and not being able to always display video. I've connected it to 3 PC's I have. For 2 of them it works fine - but for the third - which is my homelab server and the reason I bought this, it wont show the video. If I remove the HDMI cable from the Blikvm and connect it to a monitor, video displays fine, but plugged into the BliKVM I dont get video. This machine is running an older Asrock E3-V5WS MB, Xeon processor and an NVIDIA GT 710 graphics card (if that matters!)

I see this in the logs - note the "resource temporarily unavailable" in the logs below.

Any ideas on where to look - what to try next? Thanks.

Can you try to add an HDMI lock screen treasure to test it.

Resource temporarily unavailable

Suspected to be resolution or v4 default edid, your device is not recognized

@ThomasVon2021 - thanks I have ordered an EDID emulator from Amazon - will report back in a few days.

It arrived today - plugged into the back of the blikvm it sort of helps - but it only works intermittently. If I reboot the server it often stops working - and I there doesnt seem to be any pattern to how it starts working again.

Guess its just an old system!

It seems that your device doesn't recognize Lock Screen Treasure's EDD. Is there a way to force HDMI output through system settings?
