[RPi5] Kodi does not start on LibreElec when TV is off.

Hi All,

i am using LE 12 on Raspberry Pi 5. I have a problem that when my TV is off, and i reboot LE box then OS sort of start because i can ssh to it but when i turn on TV i can see black screen with one line of text:

LibreElec (community): VERSION_OF_LE.

I have tried on latest nightly builds.

I have to reboot LE box with TV to LE to start properly with Kodi

Does anyone have a clue how to fix that?

Thanks.

Boot with the TV on, then SSH in and run getedid create to capture the EDID data from the HDMI connection to file and configure boot to use this so it thinks the TV is always on.
