Fixed resolution with conservation of variable refresh rates

Hi All,

I'm running Kodi 18 (LibreELEC, Nightly) on a RPi3. Because i'm using a heavy skin i want to reboot my pi at night. I'm doing this with a cronjob. Because my receiver is turned off when rebooting the RPi boots with a black screen. I've managed to fix this with the "hdmi_force_hotplug" option in de config.txt.

This fixes partially my problem. Because it can't negotiate a resolution while rebooting (with the receiver turned off) the resolution is set to 640x480. Manually changing this back to 1080p isn't an option for the rest of our household.

I've managed to fix this by adding

hdmi_group=1

hdmi_mode=16

(reference; Video options in config.txt - Raspberry Pi Documentation)

This only add's a new issue. Because the resolution is "fixed" the option "adjust display refresh rate" within Kodi doesn't work anymore therefore movies are always played at 60Hz.

Is there another way to fix my problem?

Why would this be uberhaupt necessary?!

Because over time the skin is using more memory. And for some reason sometime freezes my Kodi. I wanted to try if rebooting nightly fixes the problem.

Rebooting every night is a like a band aid. If there is a memory leak somewhere it should be fixed.

Get us a debug-enabled full kodi.log (via a pastebin site), perhaps we're overlooking something obvious. Which skin?

Will the log be saved when kodi freezes? I will enable full debug log and when it freezes again i'l upload it.

I'm using the Estuary Mod V2.

The strangest thing is i only have the freezes on my RPi3. I'm having the exact same setup (backup/restore) on a RPi2 running in my bedroom without any problems.
