Voyager2 not showing video

Thanks for reporting this! Sorry about the video issue.

The interesting line in the log is here:

Jan 03 21:48:25 tptest ustreamer[602]: -- ERROR [635.614    stream] -- Unable to start capturing: Invalid argument

There have been a few threads where people have seen similar symptoms:

• No video signal and mouse HID issues
• NO SIGNAL but keyboard and mouse are working

What's worked for other users:

• Restarting the TinyPilot
• Restarting the target server
• Reducing video resolution on the target server

Can you try restarting? If you're still seeing the same behavior after restarting both, is it possible for you to reduce the resolution on the target server?

It's also possible that using an alternate EDID could fix this.

Tried everything you mentioned. During a reboot of the host, I did see the boot menu for Ubuntu; but once it got past the boot menu, the "No Signal" returned. I noticed the same ustreamer error:

Jan 03 22:55:54 tptest ustreamer[1086]: -- ERROR [476.968 stream] -- Unable to start capturing: Invalid argument

I also ran:

I changed the resolution from 1920x1080 to 1280x1024. Still no joy.

I ordered this unit as a test unit because I have several users with Linux workstations that have encrypted storage. Because of the encryption they cannot remotely reboot their workstations. I was hoping this solution would be a low cost plug and play option. What is the return policy for this device?

I use these for my Optiplex 9020s and PowerEdge T30 (ESXi hosts): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2E4QJK/ They work well, even through a 4-port manual KVM.

Occasionally, I have had to move from one DisplayPort output to the other on the OptiPlex boxes in order for an image to display in TinyPilot.

Hi all, I'm considering purchasing one of these, but I ran across this thread when researching compatibility. It appears orphaned. Has anyone ever had a working example of a (brand new) Dell PC with DisplayPort only, working with any TinyPilot network KVM's?
