Hyperion NG on Windows and remote SPI

Zitat von nash

The purpose of that, is avoid place an order of RPi 4 with USB 3.0 for ez269 and use the RPi 3 for SPI.

Just to clarify: that grabber works with USB 2.0 on Rpi3. USB bandwidth usage is minimal for MJPEG encoding....decoding on Hyperion.NG is another story.

I don't see any benefits for using Rpi4 beside a little better performance but it's enough just to get few frames per second, 1-2 more than Rpi3. Maybe it's better to talk @priv if you have other questions on this setup

Another surprise. It's seems that there is one more benefit for USB3.0: YUY2 encoding that provide much more quality and better performance. Unfortunately it's disabled when the device is connected to USB2.0 and MJPEG is enabled instead

So I think your question is still valid if you dont want to upgrade to Rpi4 and use Windows instead. But I dont know if there is a Windows grabber in Hyperion that enables capturing from the device. There is DX9 grabber in pull request but I think it's rather for screen capture. Meantime I've ordered Rpi4
