Update to LibreELEC no HMDI out any more.

Hello
I just updated my NUC D34010WYK from OE via "manual update" to LE. Everything is working very well except at boot.
The NUC is connected by a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter to my Toshiba TV. I'm controlling everything by a Logitech Harmony Touch. If I switch on the NUC and the TV, the NUC starts up and the TV as well. Since the update, I can't see the BIOS splash screen / BIOS posts or either the Kodi Screen. If I reboot the NUC by pressing the power button (the TV is still on), it shows instantly the BIOS boot screen and everything is working well.
It looks like that the NUC not regognize the HDMI screen at the first boot, because the TV is not ready yet. If the TV is already running for a while, theres no problem to start up the HTPC. The starnge thing is, it happend only since the update. On OE, it was no problem. Anybody an idea?

That´s not a real problem. If it works before with OpenELEC it was kind of luck. Probably the boot process is a bit different now with LibreELEC, which might cause, that the HDMI handshake is done earlier with LibreELEC and the TV doesn´t provide the EDIDs yet. Therefore the NUC doesn´t get the EDID informations and you will get no screen.

To avoid that, you either have to turn on the TV before or dump the EDID like explained in this OpenELEC wiki:

Configuring a Custom xorg.conf - OpenELEC

Take a look at "Custom EDID" at the link above. After doing this you don´t have to wait anymore until your TV is up.

Thanks DaVu for the very fast and good explained answer. I will test it this evening and give a feedback!

So, finally I tried to create a Custom EDID. Unfortunately it ins't working. I removed all created files und tried a second time. Still no luck. The only difference to the HowTo which DaVu has posed is, that I have /flash/syslinux.cfg and not /flash/extlinux.conf as in the description. So I edit the APPEND line in this file.

As a second step created a xorg.conf file which is saved in configfiles folder. The xorg.conf files looks like:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "INTEL Corporation"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/storage/.config/firmware/edid/edid.bin"
Option "UseEDID" "true"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "false"
EndSection
.
.
.

Any other idea? Can I check somehow the used EDID when the NUC is up an running with no output? I would like to confirm that the custom EDID is loaded.

I hope there is something in the log. Could you provide it, please?

Yes, I can. How should i do that? Should i post the whole log in here or just a download link?

Thanks for the explanation.
This is a pretty cool way to provide logs.

Log conditions:

-Custom EDID created
-NO custom xorg.conf (I removed that file again)
-NUC is booting but TV is not yet ready

Here is the Link to the debug logs.

I followed all the step. The edid.cpio file is saved in /flash.

Yes, I think there is no xorg.conf needed. I just tried this as a other possible solution.
Did you found something in the log?

Here is the Link.
Does it make sense to reinstall LE? Because it was working on OE.

You could try ofc.

You are sure, that HDMI-A-1 is the connected HDMI?

What means "ofc"?

Yes, I am sure, HDMI-A-1 is the connected HDMI. Btw: There is a Mini-HDMI to HMDI adapter in between the NUC an th TV.

The xorg.conf you are/were using will only work on an nVidia GPU not Intel.

The xorg.conf is almost the same as show in the wiki for Intel.

Could you tell me, whats wrong in my version of xorg.conf?
