2nd HDMI port on Pi 4 & 5

Post by RGV250 »

Hi,
I have not put this under feature request as I do not know it is already possible.
I have just bought a Raspberry Pi 4B which has 2 HDMI ports and wondered if it is possible to have one screen output to one of the ports and a different screen to the other.
I have looked at an older project and it does not appear to be so.

Regards,
Bob

Another thought if this is possible, would it be feasible to have the port as a variable so the outputs could be swapped dynamically.

Regards,

I suspect this is not currently possible with Flowcode. It's a long time since I have used a Raspberry Pi and I don't have a 4B to test with.

I'm sure there would be a way, but this probably involves custom code and some advanced tricks.
