exactly what I needed

@BuyTesmart 10 місяців тому

Awesome. Glad its helping people.

@fredwieser9360 10 місяців тому

great video!

@BuyTesmart 10 місяців тому

Thanks! It's been one of the most challenging and rewarding videos we've made. We put a ton of time into it and hope it helps the community.

@luisfernandodossantos7465 7 місяців тому

For local use case we need to install the tailscale on all machines or only in the one that we will access the others?

@BuyTesmart 7 місяців тому

Hey Luis, Tailscale needs to be installed only on the computer that will control the rest.

@luisfernandodossantos7465 7 місяців тому

Perfect! If possible can you answer one more question? Can I control the PCs with different browsers? Like one browser per screen? If needed using different users on PiKVM

@steveperry7785 10 місяців тому

I didn't realize the kit didn't come with the HDMI module. Is there any adapter that works to get the HDMI in through USB? Or is the module the only option for full function? Also, where can I get the case with the HDMI slot? Thank you for the video!

@BuyTesmart 9 місяців тому

Here's the HDMI module we used in the video: amzn.to/3JZGuAt (Amazon Link) The exact case is here: amzn.to/3JZGuAt (Amazon Link) But it's been sold-out discontinued. We'll see if we can find a current case for the description of the video.

@techlobo2409 8 місяців тому

Where did you get the case with the hdmi-csi bridge cutout in it? My websearch on 'GeekPi Raspberry Pi 4 Metal Case with Fan' does not return that model. [Edited] - never mind just noticed your comment below that it was discontinued. I assume that you didn't find a similar alternative?

@BuyTesmart 7 місяців тому

Hey TechLobo, this is an old model probably discontinued no sure where can be found :(.

@Nebraska.2030 9 місяців тому

if you could contribute and get a KVM over IP working on an inexpensive board (Rapsberry/Orange/Banana Pi) with two-way audio (ideally via AUX),

@BuyTesmart 9 місяців тому

Agreed 2 way audio would be sick. To our knowledge that is not possible at this time.

@jimallen8238 5 місяців тому

I really wanted this to work. I bought a PiKVM and the 8-port Tesmart switch, but it only works well for some of my computers. The others had all kinds of EDID issues and I gave up. Apparently, the Tesmart switcher does not pass through the EDID of the connected monitor or, in this case, the PiKVM capture device. I think it is substituting its own EDID. I never got this to work, so I bought a different switcher instead. Very frustrating.

@abhijithabhi58 Місяць тому

TechoTim also ran into the same problem

@Nebraska.2030 9 місяців тому

the ATEN box is more expensive, and can't run via VPN, meaning either handling a static IP, or getting the latest public IP each time, plus port forwarding requires modem access to setup. the PiKVM is a dream, though it's missing two-way audio

@BuyTesmart 9 місяців тому

Yea, that's the point of the video. Couple the PiKVM with the TESmart KVM and you have a much cheaper solution. Insert Tailscale and you don't need to worry about the static IP.

@flipsidelimited6560 7 місяців тому

If you use Tailscale, you bypass majority of the stuff you had mentioned.

@blademan7671 5 місяців тому

Override.yaml value for “absolte” should be false? Or is that a typo?

@HTOP1982 7 місяців тому

Does this setup allow switching between linux and Windows computers? I saw an older video from techno tim that mentioned there were issues with that scenario at the time, but may be fixed in the future.

@BuyTesmart 6 місяців тому

I think we demo'd that in this video here: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/eqiGa4N4pq-Ut6M.html

@joseph-rg4jp 9 місяців тому

How is the keyboard and mouse on the desk with the KVM switch connected? Is it connected to the desktop?

@BuyTesmart 9 місяців тому

Wireless, plugged with a USB dongle.

@rommeljjimenez Місяць тому

Nice Video, Where did you get the case and the HDMI Adapter?

@BuyTesmart 25 днів тому

We got everything from PiShop.us!

@antoninoromeo4015 4 місяці тому

very cool :) audio is supported ? many thanks

@BuyTesmart 4 місяці тому

Yes it does, the KVM transmits audio via HDMI but you can add you own devices for audio.

@diabolik911 4 місяці тому

I see that it's a TESmart 16 Port 4K KVM. Do the shortcuts (scroll, scroll) work remotely? Do you need to modify the file (override.yaml) on pikvm for it to work?

@BuyTesmart 4 місяці тому

The KVM works independently from the PiKVM, no file needs to be modify for the hotkey commands.

@sharath_koomar 9 місяців тому

the command pacman -Syu tailscale-pikvm throwes an error as invalid URL ? what should i do ?

@LeviForWaifu 8 місяців тому

Your SSL cert is failing because of invalid time. I had to manually set my system time

@user-eu7ru8oz9v 6 місяців тому

Hi, is still not clear to me if I can use just one pivkm to see the screens simultaneously, is possible to select more than 1 input at the same time? Like if I want just to see the screen but work at another, is possible using this config?

@BuyTesmart 6 місяців тому

This setup is for single monitor environments only. Whatever the single-monitor KVM has selected will show up on the PiKVM and your local monitor. You could get real sophisticated with a dual monitor KVM but it would be a brain puzzle on how to switch PC's/Monitors. Definitely wouldn't recommend it because of how overly complex it would be.

@karloa7194 6 місяців тому

What is the purpose of the splitter? Can the PiKVM be directly connected to the Tesmart switch?

@BuyTesmart 6 місяців тому

We wanted to create an scenario were a splitter is needed on a server management room, is not really necessary but it can be handy.

@mousam.mondal 2 місяці тому

I want to know, i have Pi micro HDMI to HDMI cable, usb male to male and power cable. Is those fine to run a basic pi KVM ? i want to knoe here in my case if i plug My Pi 4B's micro HDMI to My Main CPU's HDMI input will it work ? and Pi's USB out to CPU's USB in will it work as keyboard and mouse. I need the very basic KVM.

@Muaahaa 9 місяців тому

Was the case fan not plugged in to power?

@BuyTesmart 9 місяців тому

Nop, we missed that part 😅

@user-rt5df2dh8f Місяць тому

I am not able to take remote access of the laptop but able to see the screen only not any audio. Tailscale is working. Please help to take the remote access. My setup is: Laptop1 connected to PiKVM via HDMI and USB Data cable and trying to take remote access of laptop 1 from laptop 2

@mritorto1 4 місяці тому

I bought dying kit from Amazon i am trying to access my laptop but there is no display i got it from geekworm its a3 on rasberry pi 4 any ideas

@BuyTesmart 24 дні тому

The KVM is plug and play so you shouldn't have issues, try reaching Geekworm support and see what they have to say.

@aerrojuabhilash 5 місяців тому

I have dual monitor dual system TESmart KVM, how do I connect it with PiKVM ? HDMI Splitter solution won't work.

@BuyTesmart 5 місяців тому

Hey, one video connection cannot be split into two, if the PiKVM doesn't support multiple displays there is no workaround, with our setup we just needed one display.

@ASADULLAH-rv9tw 29 днів тому

During editing you you thought 't a dark red text on a black background is easy to view? Should had default to no colors if you want it easier for the viewer to follow along or at least comment in the video description what was inserted

Should have included hows to enable wifi. I'm stuck.

@BuyTesmart 10 місяців тому

Sorry, didn't think of that. We used a hardwired LAN connection for our setup because it was easily accessible.
