LibreELEC reports incorrectly being connected to HDMI1

OnbekendHH · May 19, 2017 at 9:25 PM

Hey guys!

My LibreELEC (HTPC with PluseEight CEC Adapter) is connected via an AVR to HDMI 3 of the TV (Sony Android TV (A1)), however, it seems to be reporting that it is connected to HDMI 1 on the TV, not via HDMI 3 of the TV.

Where and how can I correct this so that LibreELEC reports being connected to HDMI3 on the TV via the AVR?

Thanks for your help.

Greetings,

Where is this reported? Are you sure Kodi isn't just saying that it is connected to hdmi1 on the HTPC?

Hey Irusak... thanks for your response.

LibreELEC / Kodi is connected via HDMI-1 indeed... but I am referring to the Input List of the SONY A1: when I open the list, it reports the AVR and two UHD-Players connected via HDMI 3, which is correct, since both UHD-Players are connected via the AVR. However, additionally, KODI is reported being connected to HDMI1, which is wrong, since LibreELEC/KODI is also connected via the AVR.

I think this is going to be an issue with the way your AVR or TV enumerates HDMI passthrough signals rather than any setting in LE/Kodi.

The problem is this is not just cosmetics...
In some situations, TV switches to HDMI 1 when KODI switches back and forth, say between resolutions.

Guys, I think I fixed it...
it was my CustomEDID, which was from my old setup... (just recently switched to SONY A1).
I have it now commented it out.
Now it's perfect! (Hope it stays that way).

Greetings and thanks!
