Linux Openelec problem (handshake issue?)
#1
I hope this is the right place..
Just installed a new fresh device.

Mobo is Biostar NM70I-847 - Moederbord - mini ITX - Intel Celeron 847 - NM70 - Gigabit Ethernet - HD Graphics
Running latest stable openelec build for intel


The problem is this
Normally i set it like this:

Pc connected to pioneer vsx 919 (with hdmi) , then with hdmi connected to tv
When i do this with my windows xbmc machine, everything works well

But when i try this with my new openelec machine i dont get anythin on the screen
As soon as i connect the openelec straight away to the tv with hdmi , i do get a picture (thats how i installed it)
Without the pioneer inbetween..

How do i get it to work with my amplifier in between?

Hdmi ports are correctly set up
I think this is a handshake issue..
Tv is turned on first wi right hdmi port
Then the pioneer with right hdmi port
Then when all is started
I turn on the htpc...

you could motivate others looking into this by posting a debug log along with detailed information on what you did in order to produce this log.

Huh? Debug log wont contain anything, cause i cant see anything..

XBMC will enumerate the modes when it starts up. This can be seen in the logs. Also /usr /lib /xbmc /xbmc-xrandr will show that info.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

What a nice forthcoming answer - post a log - it may not be of use to you - but may help you fix your problem by allowing others to see what your machine is up to ! Big Grin

Reproduce the problem, so your first connection method, then connect with ssh and upload the log to pastebin.com with the command:
Code:
pastebinit -u /storage/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log

In case you don't know, the username is root and the default password is openelec.

Actually I am having the same problem....XBMC will only boot when the tv is on (although i am on XBMCbuntu). XBMC does not create any logs as it is not started. Last lineof my xbmc.log:

Code:
10:41:25 T:3038467840  NOTICE: application stopped...

After this I rebooted again with TV turned off, but no further logging.
Xorg.0.log does provide some clues however:

So apparently X cannot find any monitor and closes the connection?

Enable it in OpenELEC Settings, or edit /flash/extlinux.conf and add "ssh" to the end of the APPEND line ie:
Code:
APPEND boot=LABEL=System disk=LABEL=Storage quiet ssh

Mount /flash read-write with "mount -o remount,rw /flash", edit extlinux.conf using vi or nano, then remount /flash read-only with "mount -o remount,ro /flash".

i attached a second pc monitor to look what was wrong
AND BINGO
suddenly i have screen on the tv (with avr in between) and on the pc monitor
I watched the video settings and they were on

1650x1080 or something like that
refresh rate was 58.8

As soon as i set it to 1920x1080 , video was gone on tv but not on monitor
getting back to lower resolution
there was tv again...

I couldnt believe my eyes cause 1920x1080p was working straight away on tv (without avr), and on windows its working with avr too on that resolution

so i looked further
And i changed refresh rate to 60 and resolution to 1920x1080p and TADAAAAAAAA
Picture on tv !

Phew !

problem solved, so refresh rate should be on 60 right? not 58.88
