    What kind of lag, like enough to just do an inline split from the first port ?

    Not looking to try and watch two diff kinds of content at the same time. Just what TV depends on where I want to sit.

    But ya, same res.

    Oh, and clone mode ?

    Also I've seen dual monitor setups on PCS before. They always seem seamless in gaming unless it has something to do with that SLI or whatever it is.

    Quite familiar with nano. For anyone else curious about editing config.txt

    Raspberry Pi Config.txt [LibreELEC.wiki]

    Now regarding the HDMI enable thing. Since I guess this is a teaching how to fish or you forgot to answer. Took a quick min to find.

    Anyway. Turns out the HDMI enable thing in config.txt for the rPi 4 was this: hdmi_enable_4k=1

    But best I found. That's only for I think, what, live TV because of the higher frame rates or something ?

    Bec. I did notice that I was able to play 4k the other day. Not live though.

    *** Dont have that kind of setup but would love to feed a roof antenna if I can for local stations if someone can help with that, let alone tell me if that's even possible on an rPi. ***

    Also, regarding the HDMI thing, I haven't tried it bec I don't have a spare cable let alone a micro adapter.

    Does the 2nd port work OOB on the rPi 4 with the first one also in use ?

    Possible enagame to eliminate a second rPi 4 I'd rather not buy, is to just get a long enough HDMI to attach to the 2nd port on the rPi 4 and run it to the living room TV from the rPi 4 in my bedroom.

    Ty.

    I wouldn't say there's anything difficult or necessarily annoying with it right now. It was just more or less a question because I might forget to pass an update or something along to one of the other rpi's. Which again even doing a simple backup and restore once-a-month handles.

    My main RPI would actually the RPI 4. Where the others (the hooks) are 3's. But again not necessarily a pain in the ass to manage. Just looking for more of a Simplicity for Simplicity sake if you will LOL

    So a question to ask bec I could, and generally curious.

    instead of having to manage three diff rPi's, can I effectively have one running and mirror it in a sense to two others thus eliminating the need for 3 separate builds ?

    So main system streams to main TV but two other systems in two other parts of the house as well with their own rPi's thst would "hook" into the main.

    Hope that makes sense, ty.

    Pi showed up today, original order got a little whatever but anyway, on 9.1.501 or whatever the hell it is. For the RPI 4, using the above suggested methods. Up and running like a charm.

    Only been playing with it for maybe 30 minutes. But as far as I can tell, no issues found doing that no compatible upgrade or whatever you want to call it on the rpi3 and then moving the card to the 4 keeping all addons and settings in place.

    The one with more free disk space probably has not cached all possible thumbs yet.

    Peter kind of nailed it better I think. Didn't consider that. But of you look at what I posted. It's the "total size" regardless of what is or isnt used thst I questioned.

    Re peter.

    I dont do images so not much to work about.

    Ex. 64 backup to a 32 disk dont matter if the backups only like a gig.

    This is a quick curiosity, nothing I'm really concerned with. But with two rPi systems, both of which have 64gb SD cards.

    Why might they all be showing exact the same but the 57.1 / 57.8 fields ?

    Especially when both cards were set up thenexaxt same way ?

    Again, this isn't something I'm concerned with but more curious about.

    So other than the HDMI thing (kind of forgot what it was, think an enable or something... remind me plz ?) that needs to go in config.txt

    Is there anything else that, for a standard setup... needs to / probably should be done outside of setting up the SD ?

    Ty.

    I also remember reading something somewhere about that config file not being so easy to edit bec it's a mounted file or some such thing ?

    I backup previous to any change, but how do you upgrade the architecture like that on a Raspberry Pi 3 making it gtg for the Pi 4 ?

    Almost sounds like it'd be simpler to do a fresh install and then take a backup and reload it that way since the backup is, afaik, addons etc. / non core conflicting code.

    Also, I know I may not be the easiest person to work with, but I can still try to help and at least debug even if no one really wants to work with me directly.

    That being said, if I pissed anyone off, I am sorry.

    But I'd prefer if we could get past any ill feelings towards me since this is a for all type of project.

    Which btw, don't think I've had menu changes so damn smooth before,even on my Pi... so Bravo!
