As a test, boot into the OpenPLi slot so you are running OpenPLi image. Then go into the audio/video settings and change the refresh rate to auto as shown below. Press the Green remote button to save the change.
Edision OS mio+ 4K HDMI issue
- Thread starter videojanitor
- Start date
The test has been performance. No change.
Just wanted to pop back in and thank you guys for trying to work through this problem. In my mind, this seems like a hardware-level issue between these two devices. In the end, it's not that big of a deal as I don't need to record very often -- I mostly use the receiver just to tune around and look for things of interest. Since it works fine with my TV, it serves that purpose just fine.
I would ask: Does this same problem exist when using webif?
It stands to reason that if the equipment works on the Amiko then it should work on the Edision. So we are probably missing some slight detail.

Well, you have me at a bit of a disadvantage since I am so new to this receiver. I am aware of Webif and have played around with it a bit, but I'm not aware of how to use it to stream content from the Edision. I see a "WebTV" link that brings up something that LOOKS like it's for streaming, but selecting a channel and hitting "play" has no result. Does it need to be hooked into VLC or some other player? I'm using Safari on a Mac -- but I also have a Windows 10 machine if that's preferable for testing this.
On my Mac I'm using Firefox. If you are able to access OpenWebif (in my case I have a link set up in Firefox as http://192.168.0.10/# but you may have to use something other than the "10") then you can go into your Favourites(TV) and then into bouquets. Once you do that there is a little TV like icon to the left of the channel name. That will start the stream but you DO have to have a media player installed. I have VLC and have used it in the past to stream the ABC 4:2:2 feeds. You may have to pick the right audio stream depending on the channel. I don't remember now but I think the first time I tried to stream I had to pick a default media player as it now starts my VLC when I start streaming. I just tested it on DWTV and it's still working fine.
Hey clucas, thanks for the tip. Streaming to the Mac using Firefox and VLC worked like a charm. No issues at all.
Just to add another data point to this, I picked up a Blackmagic HDMI-to-SDI converter, just to see if the results were any better. It's actually worse -- after conversion to SDI, there's no signal at all. Weird.
There is not anymore that can be done right now with your video problem because it seems currently no one else is using the same equipment that you have. It is good to post ALL information you can though. Maybe one day it can be solved or fixed.
Thanks. I wasn't really expecting any further work to be done -- I was just adding an additional bit of data to the thread for those who might read it in the future. Without proper test equipment, it's going to be impossible to get a true diagnosis of the issue. The only thing I know for sure is that the Edision HDMI output is accepted by every TV and A/V receiver I have -- only the Blackmagic Design devices have a problem with it. I will try posting this information in their support forum.
