s905 - hdmi handshake /color space problem with older TVs

    What "black screen" are you talking about? Please describe the problem further - it does not happen here.


    You might want to

    • change hdmi cable and tv hdmi socket to test for a bad connection
    • put a little pressure on the hdmi plug in your android box (with a small rubber band or some weight) - there are quite a few reports of badly soldered hdmi sockets
    • check the kodi settings for "adjust output frequency" and set them to "at stop/start" and add a time delay of 2-3 seconds so your old tv can catch up with the frequency change

    Everything is working great now for several weeks :)


    But i have one issue,
    When i turn of Kodi 17 the X96 box is shutting down but also my Tv is shutting down.....
    Is there a fix or another way to prevent shutting down my tv
    Thanks............

    Please check the settings for cec, you find them in system-input, if I remember correctly.

    U mean Cec setting in Android, i need to start te X96 box wihout the sd with LibreElec on it?
    Then cec off?

    Thank you for the great solution!!

    I am so happy that I fixed my problem too, but I have a question.

    If I have 2 commands in my autostart.sh, how to separate them?I have a command to mount my NAS to my Android Box and another one to fix this issue.My autostar.sh looks like that, but I'am not sure that the second command is OK


    Bash
    #!/bin/sh
 ( mount -t cifs -o username=root,password=libreelec,rw //192.168.0.1/home /storage/recordings;
 echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb
 ) &



    Thanks in advance.

    hi everyone,

    i'm fighting against this problem (color space for old tv) since far, can anyone help me?

    i have a tv box with an s905x and i'm using libreELEC 8 on USB, can anyone tell me what should i do to apply the patch (or if there is a patch for veriosn 8). I never applied a patch on libreELEC nor in android so i need a little more help :)

    Use LibreElec 8.1 and

    Code
     echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb

    with your old Philips TV.

    Well, I may have missed a step...


    Code
    # cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/dc_cap 
444,8bit
422,8bit
rgb,8bit
# echo 'rgb,8bit' > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr


    I'll do some more testing and will let you know.


    Edit : same issue after a few minutes.

    Hello,


    which is the last version where:

    echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb

    works?

    This one: 7.0.3.012?


    I also have an old TV with a handshake problem.

    This version does not work anymore:

    LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.1.10.img
