  • VNC black screen when Libreelec set to 4K for TV

    Quote from Klojum

    1st question: Does VNC server support 4K ? Not sure myself.

    2nd question: why is there the need for NVC? Some things are better done "under water" via a SSH backdoor or via JSON/API calls.

    Thanks for your message.

    Re 1st question. I don't know if VNC supports 4K but if not perhaps there's a way for VNC to connect to the second screen (nothing is plugged into it) or a virtual screen and have that running at 1080P.

    Re 2nd question. I use VNC to manually update the library after adding new content and to check it has named everything correctly.

  • VNC black screen when Libreelec set to 4K for TV

    Hello.

    I'm using Libreelec v9.2.6 on a Raspberry Pi 4. The settings in Libreelec correctly recognises that it's a 4K TV and set a 4K resolution (in system/display). Media plays fine on it

    The problem is when I try to connect to it from VNC the VNC window appears to accept the connection but it just displays a black screen. I noticed that when I change the Libreelec resolution (again in system/display) and reboot the Pi the next VNC connection attempt works fine.

    I wondered if there was a way I could connect via VNC to Libreelec while Libreelec is set to display at 4K.

    Thanks very much for any help you can offer.

    Matt
