Keen for any advice or insight from users with similar issues.

I'm running several sources into a Denon avr-x2400h, this includes a Humax box for liveTV, a Vero 4k for local media and a Google TV chromecast for apps

I only have 2 outputs from this amp. (1) HDMI1, the single cable that goes to the TV and (2) HDMI2 (added for hyperion) that goes to the USB Video Capture loop to feed hyperion on the raspberry Pi

Hyperion behaves as expected no issues at all when the either the Humax is being used or the Vero is being used but the instant i change source to Google TV on the amp, the signal seems to drop to hyperion and i get the 'idle' background displayed on the LED's. If i switch back to the Humax or Vero, i have to restart the Pi before this behavious stops and hyperion starts to receive a signal. If i start my Pi with Google TV selected on the amp, it just displays the 'idle' background immediatey.

So, it looks like it 'doesn't work' with the Google TV, however it did for several weeks, then recently, it stopped.

ALL output is coming from the amp using the same outputs that do work with Humax and Vero 4k. - i therefore don;t think this is a hardware or cables thing. I havent changed any settings on the amp, the only unknown i have is whether an automatic update to the Google TV has changed the way it outputs its signal to my amp. - i have no real way of checking this.

So - my question... Is anyone else having issues with Google TV USB capture?

Please please please let me know if you are and more importantly if you've solved it somehow

If you buy 2 from my link shipping is free.

one for each eye...

Hello @TylerDurdenK. after a LOT of googling, I think the item you are suggesting - the XOLORspace S102 is the same as @jeroen warmerdam 's item. I'll be trying to get hold of either a 102 or 104 myself.
Amazon UK have both the 102 (2 outs) and the 104 (4 outs) and weirdly, the 104 is £40 cheaper on Amazon than the 102, Both are still more expensive than your link. estimated shipping for your international link is £20 to the UK.

I might still buy the 104 from Amazon in case of any international return problems if needed.

Amazon UK links here:
104 - XOLORspace Splitter downcaler simultaneously supports

102 - XOLORspace splitter downscaler supports simultaneously 1x2 4K HDR w scaler

Hello.
New user myself and i have the same query. I am going to follow this guide:

I have that exact capture device arriving before the weekend ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08P1TZ2DL?tag=hyperioforum-21 )

I'm interested as I plan of using the HMDI1 out of the back of my Denon AVR-x2400h to add the loop to then up to the TV. This is the only cable between the Amp and The TV, it is also the audio return (arc) for any TV signal into the Amp. I am assuming (hoping) that the output spec from the capture loop applies to the USB out and not the passthrough - so ill let you know... Worries include:

1 - The HDMI passthrough being reduced from 4k up to the TV via the loop. UPDATE 20210130. Signal is passed through as expected preserving 4k signal
2 - losing any HDR signal up to the TV via the loop. UPDATE 20210130. Signal is passed through as expected preserving HDR signal
3 - losing the arc features down from TV to Amp via the loop. UPDATE 20210128. I'll move to Toslink and away from ARC from the TV to the amp

Main outcome, i was unable to use HDMI1 and the capture loop. I had to use HDMI2 from the Denon, this is not causing me any problems.
