Vero 4K, first questions

Hello

@SaintNick

I gather one of 3,5mm jacks also does S/PDIF? Which one? (nice BTW!)

There are two ports:

• The one nearest the Ethernet port is a CVBS port, which can do 480/576 video output with two analogue channels.
• The second 3.5mm port is for the included IR extender, if you would like to use a universal remote, such as a Logitech Harmony and place the receiver behind the TV or in an AV cabinet. This isn’t necessary if you are not putting the device out of line of sight, or if you’re using the included RF based remote

The SPDIF is TOSLINK, not RCA.

I’m always getting digital sound on both the TV and also on my receiver through the optical, regardless of the device I choose in Audio Settings (which should I choose?), but how do I disable sound on the TV?

The SoC is designed as a dual output sink (quite handy when using Spotify Connect etc), so the easiest way would be to mute the TV. Most people do this if all audio is going to the AVR anyway.

VNC Add-On isn’t included in yet?

Not yet – because it’s still a bit experimental. A user requested this before, so I have some instructions on how to get it up and running on your device:

VNC server on Vero4K

Hi Please try this: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libvncserver0 sudo wget https://github.com/samnazarko/vnc-vero3/raw/master/aml-vnc -O /usr/bin/aml-vnc sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/aml-vnc You should now be able to start the server running /usr/bin/aml-vnc. If you want this to run constantly you can set up a systemd unit to do so. This procedure should be the same on Raspberry Pi. If you have problems connecting, make sure you are using True Colour (24-bit) or the connection will not s…
