I was pleasantly surprised to find that a new Raspberry Pi 5 displays 4:2:2 video well when connected through HDMI to my super cheap JVC Fire HD tv. Previous efforts with various Windows, Linux and Chromebook laptops did sort-of work but were much less reliable.

The Pi5 is running Raspbian Testing in 1920:1080 with XFCE desktop (i.e. X11 not Wayland). The source is a stream from an SF8008 using MPV as the media player (seems more reliable than VLC for me).

So setup MPV to open m3u8 links in Firefox and use the Enigma2 http server to start a stream. MPV runs about 30% of one of the 4 cpu cores.

I haven't tried many 4:2:2 feeds yet but the current Euros on 7E are fine.

What solutions do others use for streaming 4:2:2 to TV?

I use Octagon SF8008 and Rpi5 with Libreelec, runs perfect all 4:2:2 HD feeds, but if you trie a 4:2:2 UHD feed can't handle it.

Opening the .m3u8 from OpenWebif using an Android device with VLC works for me.
