DVD playback, black screen

Hey all, fantastic build BTW

I have 1 issue though, when I go to playback a DVD, I get sound but no video.

I can see the menus sort of.

settings:

Laptop running output to HDMI, laptop screen disabled with xrandr --output LVDM1 --off
screen set to 1080i by xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080i
I have set Kodi to a refresh rate of 29.98, I also tried 30
I have set the Graphics buffers in Kodi to 2, the default 3 was also tried (Intel Core i3 with built in Graphics)

All Videos play without issue unless it is a DVD, 3 different DVDs tried.

as an extra bit of info, the DVDs worked with Windows on the same system, before I binned the windows for LibreElec.

cheers

Hi miek_g,

had you try to run LE on the primary display instead the external and see if like that DVD are correctly showed?

Maybe your xrandr command is incorrect, with the HDMI connected and the second monitor/TV powered on can you post the output of;

Code

xrandr

Did you create an autostart.sh file or your sending the xrandr command when needed?

Found out I was being a bonehead, I disabled all hardware acceleration.

I am using the xrandr commands in the autostart.sh

I have also since found out that my TV supports full 1080p at 60hz so the xrandr file was modified

Now.everything is working great
