[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1103164, member: 415308"] If the monitor only has one HDMI input then use an HDMI switch to switch between PC & receiver. The least processor intensive way to get the video onto VLC (or similar) would be to connect the composite yellow/red/white outputs the receiver has to a simple video capture device like this: [code]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rybozen-Grabber-Capture-Digitize-Converter-BR116/dp/B0776QZKPP/[/code] It would only be SD but if the video is just for a small box on the screen then it should be OK. One issue could be whether the receiver allows simultaneous output on HDMI and composite. Someone on a French forum may be able to tell you this if it isn't in the manual. If it does work then you can have a small video in the corner of the PC screen via the capture device, and then for fullscreen and quality use the HDMI switch to swap the monitor input between the PC and receiver.
