Let's say I've got an HDMI streaming stick. Preferably a CCwGTV, but others still apply.

It is connected to an HDMI switch 2in-1out with a gaming console on other input.

The switch is connected to a HDMI audio extractor, leading audio to the audio system.

HDMI out connected to a HDCP Emulator/dummy with a passthrough. Essentially this should do the HDCP handshake, even if TV is off.

Then the emulator out goes to the tv screen.

Summary:

AndroidTV streamer -> HDMI Switch -> HDMI Audio Extractor -> HDMI Dummy with passthrough -> TV Screen.

The idea behind this monstrosity to have Android tv and Gaming Console working as a smart speaker even if the TV is off.

What issues will i have because the chain is long and full of terrors?

I'll start:

• HDMI-CEC will not work
• [unconfirmed] HDCP handshake will fail more times than comfortable resulting black screen
• [unconfirmed] Desynchronized audio and video
• [unconfirmed] Video latency unbearable for gaming
