Michael Lynch @michael2021-05-04 19:25:03.180Z2021-06-18 21:01:10.625ZYes, TinyPilot works with an HDMI to CSI bridge.
After running
quick-install, you'll need to run the following commands to configure it correctly:echo "ustreamer_capture_device: tc358743" | sudo tee /home/tinypilot/settings.yml sudo /opt/tinypilot-privileged/update- SSarivin Ponnusamy @spvin

Hi Michael, I ordered the hobbyist kit and therefore am using a pro license on that box, and I have an additional question along the line as the OP. (I also built another pi and am running the free version on that box, so I'm enjoying the product.)
I have ordered the hdmi to csi bridge to use with the box running the pro license, will this command work on that instance? And will updates wipe this out, or will it persist? Thanks!
Michael Lynch @michael2021-06-02 18:55:05.018ZHi @sizz0p. If you're converting your hobbyist kit to HDMI to CSI, that's equivalent hardware to a Voyager. I'd recommend just using the Voyager microSD image (you can find it in the Pro download page that was emailed to you).
I am also attempting to convert my hobbyist kit to a Voyager with an HDMI to CSI kit. Could this Voyager image be emailed to me as well?

Can you email licenses@tinypilotkvm.com with your order number? I'll send you the download URL that way so it doesn't get lost in a spam filter.
Thank you Michael, this solved my issue. I noticed on that page there were instructions to fix privacy errors, however the link to the required file does not seem to be working. Is there a new link?
- Michael Lynch @michael2021-06-17 20:28:42.604Z
The link should point here, which works for me:
https://tinypilotkvm.com/faq/fix-browser-privacy-errors
Are you having issues accessing the URL above?
The link to the root certificate on that page is not working for me
- Michael Lynch @michael2021-06-17 20:45:51.241Z
It's the URL for your TinyPilot device, so it will be different if you've renamed your device.
If you're accessing your TinyPilot web UI at https://mytinypilot, just add
/ca.crtto the end of the URL to get the CA certificate.

Hi, Michael. Thanks, I just saw this reply. I don't want to step on your toes as far as licensing goes, but I have ended up pretty heavily-customizing the hobbyist kit with a POE hat and whatnot. :)
I searched my email, and I didn't see anything about a Pro download page. Where would I see that? Thanks!

Thanks! I see that there was a bug in my initial solution, so I've updated it. Can you try the new version?

Thank you Michael,
After trying the command it still shows "No Signal".
In the logs it shows that Unable to start capturing:

This is the output when I run "sudo v4l2-ctl --all"

I'm not sure what's wrong. If
v4l2-ctlcan see your device, I'm not sure why uStreamer fails to start. From your logs:Jun 25 05:33:30 raspberrypi ustreamer[583]: -- INFO [22.192 main] -- Listening HTTP on [127.0.0.1]:8001 Jun 25 05:33:30 raspberrypi ustreamer[583]: -- INFO [22.193 stream] -- Using V4L2 device: /dev/video0 Jun 25 05:33:30 raspberrypi ustreamer[583]: -- INFO [22.194 stream] -- Using desired FPS: 0 Jun 25 05:33:30 raspberrypi ustreamer[583]: ================================================================================ Jun 25 05:33:30 raspberrypi ustreamer[583]: -- ERROR [22.195 stream] -- Can't access device: No such file or directoryCan you try running the uStreamer command manually with the

The device is undervoltage and CPU-throttled due to heat, but that's likely not why you're seeing this.
