My TV’s HDMI Was Broken, So I Streamed Video Through USB

My TV’s HDMI port was broken, but its USB port could still play mdia from pendrive. So I tried something unusual: making it play a live camera feed through USB. Using a Raspberry Pi, I made the TV think it was reading a normal video file from a USB drive. Behind the scenes, the Pi serves live video data when the TV requests parts of that file. The TV thinks it’s playing a saved video. It’s actually showing a live stream! This project brings together: • Raspberry Pi USB mass-storage emulation • nbdkit and Network Block Device (NBD) • Python and FFmpeg • MPEG-TS video streaming • A lot of experimenting with how the TV reads files The working setup achieved roughly 2 seconds of delay on my TV. It’s an experimental workaround, and results may vary with other TVs and their media players.
