No image after booting LibreElec

1st Official Post

    Hardware:

    NUC6CAYH PC with LibreElec 8.01 Generic installed
    TV is a LG 49UH610V
    Receiver is a Pioneer VRX-830

    I get no video-image when I boot-up my NUC with LibreElec if my PC is connected to the receiver. I do get an image if I directly connect my NUC to the TV. Furthermore, when I installed Windows 10 on it I did get my screen working fine when the NUC was connected to the receiver.

    I'm abit at a loss at what I can do. I imagine LibreElec is trying to set an unsupported resolution/refresh-rate or something when it is connected to the receiver, but I seem to unable to fix this.

    Perhaps anyone has some pointers? I tried both the Generic LibreElec 8.01 and the one with HEVC265-10bit support with the 4.11 kernel. Neither gives a video-image on my setup. What gives? And more importantly, what can I do to resolve this strange situation.

    Done:

    I manually set the resolution during the test to 1920x1080. I generally run the Kodi GUI in 1920x1080p so that Kodi doesn't upscale everything to 4K (Kodi up-scaler sucks compared to what the TV does, imo).

    However, when connected to the TV it can also run on 4K no problem. I just set it to 1920x1080p (which I want to do when connected "through" the receiver too).

    With the Pioneer in the loop I get:
    LPEIScreen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767
    DP1 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1600mm x 900mm

    720x400 70.08
    DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

    and with this I get no image.

    I did learn that if I set Kodi to 1920x1080p 60 Hz. with it directly connected to my TV and then switch the NUC to the HDMI on the receiver I get an image.

    So it is somehow that the resolution set by Kodi during boot-up is not supported by my receiver for whatever reason. I guess I have to fix KODI to 1920x1080p but I noticed it has a tendency to reset occassionally... ugh :(

    I saw the same issue with my ASRock J3455 Apollo Lake, my LG 4K TV and my Onkyo TX-NR626 receiver. What I basically had to do was create a /storage/config/autostart.sh file with the following content. You can sub DP2 for DP1. I think this may be a bug in Libreelec as the it should output the resolution to what's set, regardless of the connected device.

    Code
    (
 xrandr --output DP2 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60.00
) &
