I guess it was just a problem with my external harddrive, it plays fine for me on youtube as well. 
I bassically used the same chips used in the kineraw camera which is running on linux so it was not too hard to find drivers for it, right now its still on a deveolpment board, so its not really "small" its about as big as my ikea coffee table..  there are still lots of problems with it and I dont know if I can make it really that usefull, after thinking about it I get the price for the shogun as they have to get back their development costs, but really the hardware is not worth that much, This whole project has taken me all Winter pretty much (I am a engineering student so I had the winter off). 
It was really ment as a proof of concept for a cheap 4K "Recorder".  And I think some chinese Company will probably release a recorder like that on the cheap (wink at Blackmagic)
Now, stuff like ProRes Encoding is a totally different thing and I find it crazy what Blackmagic has pulled of with the pocket, thats just awesome engineering. 
 
This thing will never be a replacement for the shogun .. sadly  

Hey guys, I build a 4K Recorder out of some ghetto parts, right now that still includes a Laptop and is really not that useful, its not even battery powered yet.  
However I did a small test and some of you might appreciate it, its by far the cheapest solution to get 4K out of the A7s but requieres a lot of knowledge of electronics and soldering (+- 200€) I am going to try to make it battery powered and smaller and add a Monitor, I think the price for the Shogun is too high.   
First priority is going to ditch the laptop in favour of dedicated electronics.  
It is also still dropping some frames (or rather holding them, weird maybe one of the chips is having a timing problem).  The A7s HDMI signal is actually a very normal signal, nothing special going on (contrary to the FS700 for example, which is some kind of weird Sony bullshit) 
 
 
I uploaded a test to youtube, I just used a cheap Igus slider with the A7s just pressed to the slider, I lost the stupid screw for the Tripod Head...  if anyone wants the source .tif files or the Rendered H264, let me know and I might upload them.
