s905 - hdmi handshake /color space problem with older TVs

Hi guys,

just wanted to let you know that I had what I thought was this problem with S905w-boxes. However, the solution with trying to force RGB output like above did not help. What did help is switching off deinterlacing as described here. Maybe someone else can benefit from this.

hey guys

do you know if the fix (green screens with old sony and philips tvs) with ssh works also for LE 8.2.3.1?

Never had any issue in nearly 2 years.

So, I'd say it does ;p

i am sorry i have to digg up this old thread but is this somehow also working for libreelec 10.0 as ther is no /amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb

in the class directory ?

is there still any working solution to force rgb with libreelec 10 ?

I don't think you experienced this on an Amlogic box/board, because there is no LE10 support for these devices.

there are test builds from chewitt of LE10 for S905 on odroid c2 ...

chewitt is currently releasing LE11 test builds with Kodi 20, not LE10.

Regardless, this topic applies to the legacy kernel, the mainline kernel works quite differently, so /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb probably no longer exists.

Try this topic:

These builds are build against https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv , no additional changed included.

that is in fact the problem - the old path you also mentionesx no longer exists so there is no way to use this solution

i am gonna try the new le11 test builds - thanks for your help
