it is not a problem with Libreelec, it is a problem with RGB settings with old Tv/Screens.
the reason for 8.0.2.X working fine is because @kszag made a special patch around that time.
but since that version libreelec and built in Kodi have been heavily updated.
I am willing to participate and help out with the development of a patch to Force RGB output on 8.1.X versions. just let me know how I can help
Thank you for the update kszaq
have a nice Libreelec free holiday from us.
Can you try running this command: echo cs0 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/debug
nothing happens unfortunately.
I tried it when the screen was green/pinkish
and when the output was RGB
edit: updated to the latest version. still no changes
what features name or/ specifications should I be looking for to find out if the TV offers colorspace or not.
thank you for your quick reply
hi,
I tried asking this question in the s912 thread.
I am running libreelec 8.1.9 version on s912 h96+ box. and I have old Philips TV.
on versions before 8.0.2.e you could force the rgb output with this command
#!/bin/sh echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb
however the newer version of libreelec doesn't support this configuration via autostart.sh file.
if I downgrade to 8.0.2x and execute this command I loose audio via hdmi.
I have read here something about configuring 8bits/10bits display to force rgb.
I was wondering if someone here could help me with this issue. I would like to keep up with the updates of libreelec, but I am too beginner to know what and where to configure, so my TV screen does not randomly go green/pinkish when I am in the middle of watching a movie.
I asked this question in s912 thread too, but only received short replies and no workarounds. hence why I am asking it here.
please provide me with some guidance how to fix this problem. thank you
are these statements below correct? I just want to be sure if a downgrade is my only option
" people with old Philips/Sony Tv's who use rgb output enforcement via autostart.sh, should downgrade to 8.0.2e (last 8.0.x version) to prevent the screen from switching pink/greenish now and then"
"there is no fix or workaround available (yet) to resolve this issue on 8.1.x version"
Can someone please answer my question please?
I saw on s905x thread someone asked similar question and he needed to switch to 8/10bit and re-enter the resolution.
I was wondering if the same can be done for s912.
thank you.
thanks for quick reply.
do you have a link or instructions on your github for me to follow for this?
I hate to store passwords in plain text.
hi zomboided,
I see this in my log, but where is this noncache option to select?
WARNING: this configuration may cache passwords in memory -- use the auth-nocache option to prevent this
RGB output does not work in 8.1.x builds (yet).

"there is no fix or workaround available (yet) to resolve this issue on 8.1.x version"
what could be the reason for this error.
LibreELEC15:~/.config # echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb -sh: can't create /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb: Permission denied
I have pasted the following code in my autostart.sh. but it does not help force RGB out.
GNU nano 2.5.3 File: autostart.sh ( echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb ) & echo 'rgb,8bit' > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr GNU nano 2.5.3 File: autostart.sh ( echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb ) & echo 'rgb,8bit' > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr
Hi,
I have an old Philips TV, that sometimes turns screen into green/pink screen.
I have found a solution here somewhere where they use SSH and send this code to the libreelec.
And frankly it works well.
#!/bin/sh
echo 1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/output_rgb
However I was wondering whether can I paste this code, so libreelec can do this automatically after a reboot.
Thnx
I have h96+ Pro box s912, with 3gigb that runs on preview LE8.0 L version of @kszag
