OpenGL and hdmi as input

Wed Feb 17, 2016 8:58 am

Is it now possible to: use the hdmi as an input (not output for desktop GUI) and display the hdmi input as a window under the pi GUI?

No. The HDMI socket is output only. That is due to the hardware. No software can make it act as an input.

I don't think I've ever seen any equipment where the HDMI port is both input and output.
