LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-nightly-20180607-36c2619 Display Resolution can´t be set to 1920x1080i (50/60 Hz)

bylderup · June 11, 2018 at 9:35 AM

KODI 18.0 Alpha2 Git:593949a

In Settings-System-Display-Resolution 1920x1080i is listed.

If I try to activate this resolution then nothing happens or wrong Resolution is taken!

As a follow up no 1920x1080i options are listed in whitelist.

Only way to get Display Resolution to 1920x1080i is manually editing the guisettings.xml:

Code

<setting id="videoscreen.resolution">21</setting>
<setting id="videoscreen.screen" default="true">0</setting>
<setting id="videoscreen.screenmode">00192001080050.00000istd</setting>

I think it is not a kernel Problem :

Code

# cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap
480p60hz
576p50hz
720p60hz
1080i60hz*
720p50hz
1080i50hz

1080i is shown - but not selectable

I have tested with CE 8.90.3, LE last nightly and 3 different Tvs (HDready/FullHD)

This bug wasn´t there until whitelist feature was introduced

Same behavior was reported from other users using generic builds. Kodi guys claimed this wouldn´t be a Kodi problem ..

I am not a developer, so I can not say who should fix this issue.

don´t know if it is correct but did this, also : #17910 (Kodi 18.0Alpha2 Git:87ca87c GUI can´t be set to 1920x1080i (50/60 Hz)) – Kodi - TRAC

please take a look at that issue

K18 is still in an early alpha state so the whitelist function probably isn't fully developed. Perfection rarely comes at the first attempt

Same problem on the RK3328 Rockchip builds from Kwiboo.

No 1080i or other interlaced resolution is available in the whitelist.

I will post logs later but there are already a lot of logs there - feedback for test build LibreELEC-RK3328.arm-9.0-devel-box-trn9.img

It is definitely a problem with the whitelist setting introduced in Kodi.

I just hope someone from Kodi will be able to fix the problem since it seems to effect a lot of LibreELEC users, doesn't matter for which ARM device.

As I currently understand it (caution: I am not a developer) Kodi outputs progressive so the whitelist only shows progressive modes. If media uses an interlaced format Kodi shaders are used to deinterlace and render as progressive.
