Blackscreen + Video Flicker on RPI 2

  • I have installed a clean version of Librelec to my PI2.

    There are smaller screen flickers and picture errors but i also have blackscreens for about 0.5s to i guess 3s.

    These problems only seem to occur on 8.2.3. On 7.0.3 which i had previously installed i didnt have these problems.

    I hope you can help me :)

    thanks ,

  • Only a guess but maybe your settings are wrong. Either video or network. If there was a problem with LE 8.2.3 and RPI 2, this forum would be filled with similar threads.

  • Well I haven't changed any of the networking settings and don't think that is the problem because it also happens when video is not currently playing. But I will double check using a usb stick.

    I also haven't changed any of the video settings. But which are the recommended ones so I can try them out?

    Maybe my rpi or my TV is damaged ?

    If anyone has any further things I could try out I would really appreciate the help ;)

    Thanks!

  • So the problem is

    Not the Power Supply, i switched to external power supply which supply more than enough amps.

    Not the TV i tried a different monitor.

    Not the network playback, i tried playback over USB.

    Not the HDMI cable i tried a different one.

    So either its in the settings or the Pi is broken ?

    Thanks for any help,

  • Now i have connected my RPI to a different PSU and changed two settings in the video tab and it is working for now.

    I changed:

    Display Refresh Rate : Always

    Sync playback to display: On

    I will report back if i have any further problems :)
