KVM2USB 3.0 app: Stuck in fullscreen

Wrong topic, so I added the KVM2USB 3.0 in the subject. It is for its apps though.

Since I have entered fullscreen, I cannot exit fullscreen. The manual states to press ESC key, but this has no effect. If I close the app and restart it, it start in fullscreen from which I cannot exit and I run in circle.

I’m sorry to see you’re running into device behavior issues! That’s odd behavior. Please email us at info@epiphan.com with more details about your setup and configuration so that we can troubleshoot

Please include device serial number
operating system of your host computer and any relevant screenshots/video samples of the behavior in order to better assist you

Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for reaching in helping me out.

I have created a "little video which I have put into my Dropbox. Here is the link to it…

It will show the 2 issues I am having with your application/device.

  1. Can’t get out of fullscreen/maximize. Either ESC key or CTRL+F have no effect. I tried to unpack the AppImage to see if there was some configuration file in it I could change to fix this, but I am gussing you are using some OS registry to store the settings and I am not familiar at all with QT to find where that might be on my system.

  2. I was not aware of this, but since this patch uvcvideo driver now adds a second device to expose some metadata. When I connect your device, I do get two videoX under /dev, but your application seem to be using the wrong one. I have to overwrite one of the device over the other to get a video.

> sudo ln -s /dev/video2 /dev/video3

My system is Ubuntu 19.10. It’s pretty much a stock OS.

I am including the 2 files which are stderr captured output in the video …

  • [kvmapp.1.trace]
  • [kvmapp.2.trace]

Feel free to ask anything you might need. I would love this device to work properly. If it is stuck in this working state, I will not consider it usable and will unfortunately ask for a refund. :frowning:

Thanks

Linking the first video device over the second does not seem to play well when the connection is idle. Screen goes black, mouse keyboard still works. stderr show:

Error 5 is I/O error.

I have to stop the app, disconnect the USB cable (udev remove both /dev/videoN), reconnect (udev adds both /dev/videoN). I don’t need to loverwrite the link again, both /dev/video[23] are the same inode, so the start and works again,

Until…
