Anyone playing with a HDMI over IP setup?

Looking for a way to share devices between 2 rooms but can't put a cable in so was wondering if HDMI over IP (not extenders) would work over a decent powerline connection?

I've seen units with powerline built in so that suggests the bandwidth provided is a possibility and Sky can do it over wireless now with Sky Q so is there anything that captures and compresses to be sent over an existing active network (internet basically)?

Would mainly be for media pc and PS4
 
Easiest and best option I agree is to run a cable but I can't, no way around that.

The standard HDMI to Ethernet adaptors won't work as they only use the physical attributes of the cable, I need to convert the video to a data stream sent over the existing network.

Ideally I need something that takes a HDMI in, captures it and sends it over the network compressed. This is what Sky Q does, Nvidia gamestreaming and the PS4 can do remoteplay but it doesn't work on the media apps. I've got lucky with the powerline adaptors and get a good connection (about 33MB/s), not great but Nvidia gamestreaming only needs a max of 20MB/s so in theory it should be enough.

Could the media PC capture it and send? Or would that just add a massive delay.
 
TL-PA9020P is faster, it’s 2000Mbps and works perfectly fine for 1080p HD but won’t be able to do 4K. You don’t need to plug them into your router either if you just want to send the video signal as that’s what I do. I use them alongside a hdmi extender for Sky q and ps4 / Nintendo switch and works perfect.

Completely forgot about your thread, I even posted in it :o They still working well for you then, no issues with lip sync?

Currently using the powerline adaptors to connect the other room to the broadband router so would need everything going over the same connection and it does look like the current devices flood the network. A friend says he's had success with a wireless HDMI sender so going to borrow that and see how it performs.
