Why don't you use one of the many Philip Hue APP's straight on you Q10 Pro instead? The official Philips APP for sure supports Ambilight <=> Hue

Never tried it with Q10 Pro but tried it on other media players successfully. Did not really enjoy it in practice as there is a slight delay which I personally disliked.

Many thanks but those applications are not compatible with my installation of home ambilight, I need the screen image to manage the 200 leds individually so I need the av output for the streamer or the streaming to put it as a channel in my vu + and screen the screen Of the decoder by means of capture in the background.

All apps have delay...i tried it...the best option,but most expensive,is to buy philips ambilight TV.
I have it,plus 6 philips hue bulbs plus hue light strip...tv connects with bulbs and all room lights ;D
Working great but it costs.

Try with HDMI splitter...

Back to the original question then.

It depends on the chipset. I have seen media players which do and that don't. In most cases (all I tried myself) gave out analog audio concurrently, but at least one chipset could only do Video via a single output. I know for sure that all Realtek SOC's give out video concurrently.

Are you using the correct analog AV cable and does analog video/audio work without using HDMI? If needed I can provide the correct pin-out.

I have a hdmi splitter but it accepts a maximum of 1080p so I can not use it and that I have set the output of the himedia in uhd, I would have to buy a divider that supports uhd with hdr and for now they are expensive besides a converter of uhd to av . Does not av output really work at the same time as the hdmi or is my new device not working well?
Thank you all for the help friends.

I use an analog cable that works fine, the problem is that it does not give any analog output av output. It is connected to the yellow output that supposedly gives video directly to the captureer.
Thank you

You are right of course. Forgot for a moment, simply have too many players. :-[
You switched output to PAL/NTSC?  This is composite video out in SD format.

Many thanks for the help, I hope to find the solution and enjoy my home ambilight with this great player. I will post some video when I can solve the problem ;D
If I change the output to PAL I will not have UHD output for HDMI. The system will be dedicated to send signal only by AV, so I do not use this option

Took me a while to find an AV cable but I've just tested and I get simultaneous video out of HDMI and AV no problem.

My settings are:

In Settings - More - Display:

HDMI auto adaptation: Off
Custom display format: 1080p 60Hz (1080p HDMI TV)

In Settings - System - Advanced options:

Video color space & HDMI deep color: YCbCr422
TV HDR Mode: Auto

I have managed to get the image by av, I have updated the firmware to the latest version and the active output is already there, it seems that I have a problem with that output and the capture, since when I connect it directly the captureer (it seems to send too much intensity) and I had to put through an av-hdmi and hdmi-av converter and this way if the captureer works. I will investigate how a direct connection works properly (some signal strength limiter) and avoid having the two converters connected.

Many thanks to all for the help. Thank you very very much. :D :D :D :D :D

All this is because I have an ambilight mounted on a raspberry with analogue camcorder and I need to feed it either by av capture or by transmitting the streaming of the screen to control the led lights
.

interesting..... can you explain the project? maybe with some photo
