I always have to restart my ezcap269 (Unplug and plug the USB) every time it stays in idle for a long time (e.g., 8h). Is it normal? Is it a known bug? Any workaround to avoid me having to go behind my TV cabinet and unplug the USB cable? |

Hardware, power supply or OS (USB power saving function) problem? USB grabber pass-through cannot be control by the software directly because it's independent. |

Do you know if I can control ezcap in any way remotely? Send a command to restart itself, or anything that can help to remotely work around that issue? |

No, the only software workaround that comes to my mind is to restart host USB hub which should also restart all connected devices including Ezcap grabber. But it's probably possible only for Linux. |

Another test I made: Connected the Apple TV directly on my ezcap. It works flawlessly. Once I switch it back to my HT, it doesn't work anymore. Only once I restart the ezcap it works again. |

And it works in other way: first HT then Apple? Grabbers with loop have almost always problematic internal HDMI splitters. Sometimes it comes out when DHCP is in play or with long cascade of EDID handshakes (multiple AV devices in the path). |

Try to disable HDCP |

Yes, misspelled HDCP |

On PC it's in the graphic card properties. Don't have Apple TV and don't know if it's possible for it. |

I also have ordered a Intel NUC HDMI-CEC Adapter so I can debug the setup a bit better.

Worse support ever:

Well, at least they're honest. The Ezcap 269 was a good option, but then the MS2109 came out and as I said, grabbers with internal loop are almost always inferior than grabber+splitter solutions (even Ezcap 320 family). In fact, Apple TV HDCP causes some problems even with advanced external HDMI splitters like the Ezcoo EZ-SP12H2 that required a firmware update. |

Which grabber do you recommend? I was even considering buying the elgato 4k. |

I very doubt elgato will work for HDR and HyperHDR: Windows & proprietary codecs necessary are neccesery for that grabber. Currently I see two options for best quality: MS2109 (Rullz black USB2.0 version, some USB3.0 fakes are reported to provide worse quality) + FeinTech VSP01201. Or faster USB3.0 Ezcap 321 + FeinTech VSP01201 (my current setup). External HDMI splitter is necessary to enforce HDR content and to remove HDCP for these grabbers. Ezcap 320 (and probably similar 326) is all in one solution for HDR but the quality is worse and it gives up when receives HDCP protected signal anyway. |

The Intel NUC HDMI-CEC Adapter arrived, and I confirmed what you already told me: ezcap is messing up with the HDCP of my setup. I can't see the ezcap and not even my TV in the network. Also, my TV isn't syncing the standby status in my setup, and I need to have the TV remote every time to just turn it on/off. But I have one question: What is the difference between the FeinTech VSP01201 and FeinTech VSP01204? As it looks like they work the same, but the FeinTech VSP01204 doesn't need power. |

I would avoid FeinTech VSP01204 just for one reason: it doesn't have the EDID switch and it could cause very serious incompatibility for some setups. I guess it always works in MIXED mode known from VSP01201. So if you connect HDR capable TV and non-HDR capable grabber it would force the video source to drop HDR and force SDR. So you need VSP01201 COPY mode for Ezcap 269 or MS2109 with TV connected to VSP01201 HDMI 1 port and grabber to HDMI 2 port. BTW Rullz black USB2.0 is very cheap around 10$ and the quality is much better than Ezcap 269 (latency is similar). My VSP01201 has always constant power supply from PC USB port. |

Is this the genuine one? |

That black one USB2.0 version looks like my Rullz, but it's Aliexpress so you never know what you will receive. Probably the more orders/user reviews the better. Just don't order USB3.0/1060p60 coffee color version. |

Probably 4:2:2 is too much for Ezcap 269. Sometimes it depends also on the overall video bandwidth for example may work for 1080p60 but not for 4k60 |

Sad, but TBH I can't see the difference between 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 on my TV. So, I can live with the chroma like that. |
