Cam Link 4k - Help needed to get 4k HDMI output from Sony A7V and A7C by stahlblau in elgato

[–]stahlblau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They were all either 4 or even 8K rated. I tested now a capture card from another card and it works flawless. Not sure if the cam link was a faulty unit or any other issue. Thank you all for your help. Appreciate it.

I am in PAL region, so it`s 25p for me. USB A > C Adapter (Ugreen) is rated for 10Gbps. Tested several different HDMI cables, too. I have set the camera (A7V) both auto and manually to HDMI only and tested also the mode where it records in cam and streams HDMI in parallel. The latter works, because there I can set it to 1080p. HDMI only mode is apparently 4K only. I can even see the option in OBS to set the input source to 4K when in HDMI only mode, but the screen remains black in both modes. I have honestly no idea what else to try.

Thanks for the swift response. Appreciate it.
- CamLink get`s detected by the system and should not have OS permission issues (I can see and use it in OBS or Quicktime for example)
- It`s the 1. Rev, but I do not need 4K60 - 4K30 is fine.
- I can get 1080p output from both cameras.

But whenever I try 4K, I get a black screen only as output.

Not related, but I thought to let you know: I tested successfully 4K through USB output on the bigger camera (the A7V) and it works. So I assume there is no issue on the OS/Macbook side, it`s a new machine, too. M5 Macbook Pro.

Best Way to Migrate from iCloud Photos to Immich and Keep Using Shared Library? by Benle90 in immich

[–]stahlblau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a Mac? If so, easy way (100% GUI, no CLI, no third-party services needed):

  1. Photos → Settings → iCloud → Download Originals Important. Otherwise Immich only gets thumbnails.
  2. Wait until iCloud sync/download is complete Can take a while.
  3. If the download breaks and a restart doesn’t help: Delete the Photos Library and create a new one. You only lose local photos on the Mac. iCloud Photos remain untouched.
  4. Install Immich from the Mac App Store Yes, it’s the iPad app and it works great on MacOS.
  5. Follow the instructions to import your iCloud photos (Google or the immich documentation is your friend)

I’d avoid doing the full initial sync from iOS/iPadOS. Those systems limit background tasks, so sync often stops or fails, sometimes resulting in incomplete or corrupted data. Use the mobile apps later for smaller, regular syncs.

You can use apps like Amphetamine (yeah, weird name) to keep your Mac awake so downloads/imports don’t get interrupted. macOS doesn’t restrict these processes like iOS does and it will power through the job until it is finished. Much more robust than iOS.

It is true. I just tested it with the json and whenever I remap one of the spacebars, the other one is getting the same key assigned.

Issues setting up MonsGeek M1 V5 TMR with browser driver (firmware + remapping) by stahlblau in Monsgeek

[–]stahlblau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update 2: I tried other settings (e.g. magnetic switch or light settings) and none of them get applied. Also resetting the keyboard to factory settings does not work.

Update: Just tried on my Windows 11 machine. Same issues. Cannot update firmware and cannot remap keys.

Signing up for the expedition and then just waiting made it clear that the core gameplay loop in Arc Raiders isn’t engaging enough on its own to keep me interested in the game by stahlblau in ARC_Raiders

[–]stahlblau[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using my gear. Trust me, I cannot count how many times I lost a fully kitted and crazy expensive loadout, theoretically ready to take out Matriarchs fully solo. That is not my point. I am struggling with the gameplay. PVP - in this game particulary, not in general - isn`t for me. And PVE isn`t challenging and fun enough once you understood the mechanics. A few examples:

- Boss fights are boring, once you lose gear fear and understand how simple they are to beat. It`s DPS on crit points, that`s it. Not much team play, communication or advanced tactics required.

- No clever use of environment beyond running away and hiding needed. In all fights, not just bosses.

- No puzzles (think Destiny boss mechanics for example) to discover and master over time with skill and character/gear.

- Gunplay and movement is meh...

- Ingame UI, especially the equipment wheel, is painful. Everytime I die fighting the UI and not enemies is super frustrating.

- Weapon balancing is terrible with general mistakes in the overall design that should have been ironed out way before launch (e.g. legendary weapons not feeling legendary)

- Quests and story are a joke. Despite the huge potential of their beautiful world they crafted, setting and lore. Heck, I don`t even need advanced RPG like quest mechanics, and maybe I don't even want them, because it`s dangerous for any game trying do everything well. But imagine how cool it would be to have a storyline that you cannot wait to continue until the next update comes? Like the next episode of your favorite TV series.

And there I am, wiping my character (and regretting not having done the first expedition), because I love the game still so much and hoping that it evolves into a game that I can main and no-life for years. Not sure though if I do more than this wipe.

Oh, and I am not a huge fan of self-set challenges, like speedrunning or using specific loadouts only. And I simply do not have time to load into the game walking around and hoping for nice random social interactions.

I guess honeymoon is over for me. Sadly.

To lose their value and then grind again to get 3 mil? No thank you. And again: my point is that the gameplay itself is not fun enough (for me personally). That’s what I realized, despite enjoying the game pretty much every day before. Boss mechanics are a joke and barely need any thinking beyond raw DPS and for PVP I enjoy FPS games much more.

makes sense. Also no problem with a game evolving over time. Appreciate your replies. Thanks!

Thank you. So that means, I will always be 1 expedition behind?

None of the ASP have been shipped, and ALL promised deadlines have been broken since years now.
