Thanks for the reply. The issue with the video was solved in April, see post #32 of this thread.

As for the set up, it's really quite simple.

Video goes from hdmi out on the pi to hdmi in on the projector. (video only).
Audio goes from the pi gpio to the pifi-digi, optical cable to dolby receiver and then to the amp.
It's a setup that has been working great for years, until now.

Today I discovered the amp right rear channel has failed inside the amp.

Maybe I can fix it, maybe it's time for an upgrade - afterall it's been going for over 20 years now!

But it is a big job to get it out and work on it, will have to wait until I have a free weekend..... So not too soon I suspect.

Cheers.

@Nachteule,

Well, I took the usb drive that had been running this pi and tested it - I got around 35MB/s read speed, but write speed was <1MB/s - So something really wrong with that stick. This was after a fresh re-partition and format too..... You just never know I suppose.

Ah now it's much clear how you have your setup lol.

I only asked if the HDMI port might be faulty because i remember you referring some chroma problems but i don't recall reading if you tried another port or tried to connect the Pi to another Screen/projector.

So its was a soft problem after all? (for the image).
