  • RPi4B no Signal on Samsung TV after Switching Inputs

    Hello,

    I read some other topics but its not exactly my Problem.

    I've read so far:

    Post

    tvservice doesn't find the connected monitor

    Hardware

    • Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2, BCM2711, c03112
    • Monitor: ProLite T2453MTS-B1, 1920x1080
    • Hifiberry
    Libreelec

    • LE 9.95.3
    • upgraded via Libreelec-Addon from 9.26 to 9.95.2 and one day later to 9.95.3 (yes, I know, it's not recommended)
    Issue

    (Code, 2 lines)

    Nevertheless the picture is shown. Kodi works without any problem.

    When the system boots and the splashscreen appears, the picture is pale. The black is only a gray.

    For that reason i configured in /flash/config.txt

    (Code, 2 lines)

    With this…

    RE: No video output from new RPi4b

    Maybe I have a similar problem.

    Hardware:

    - Raspberry PI 4b.

    - Monitor: Iiyama Prolite T2453MTS

    Now I did some really stupid. I followed (not) this advice and upgraded my Libreelec 9.26 to 9.95. After some struggeling everything worked (Hifiberry, TV Headend, Netflix, Simple IPTV).

    Only one thing has been left:

    When I installed the system for the first time, I dispaired when I tried to get the monitor running properly. There was no black no real colours. The picture was something grey.

    I fixed this…

    Settings:

    ---------------

    Hardware:

    Libereelec 10 on Raspberry Pi4B 4GB

    Samsung 4K TV, 2020 Model

    Samsung Soundbar Q950T (which has 3 HDMI Ports: 2 Inputs, 1 Output)

    Cables:

    AmazonBasics HDMI 2.0 fast Ethernet Micro HDMI Cable

    also tested:

    AmazonBasics HDMI 2.0 Cable with Micro HDMI Adapter which is also HDMI 2.0 from UGREEN

    The Cable was formerly connected to an Odroid N2 and did 4k 60Hz without Problems.

    Connection:

    RPi4 HDMI Port 0 -> Samsung Soundbar HDMI 2 -> Samsung TV HDMI 2 (eARC)

    Software:

    distroconfig.txt:

    hdmi_enable_4kp60=1

    cec_osd_name=kodi

    hdmi_force_hotplug=1 (setting it to 0 or 1 has no impact on my problem)

    config.txt:

    hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1

    gpu_mem=256

    Target:

    ----------

    Having 4k 60Hz Picture on my Samsung 4K TV

    General Proof:

    ---------------------

    3840x2160p @ 60 Hz works with FireCube, so TV can.

    3840x2160p @ 60 Hz also works with RPi4B after fresh boot

    Problem Description:

    ------------------------------

    When I have chosen RPi4 Input and boot up the RPi I have Splash Screen, GUI comes up, TV shows I have 3840x2160p @ 60 Hz, everything good.

    -> So here we have proof that it works, I have basically no 4K Issue because I have GUI Running, can watch movies etc.

    BUT...

    1. Then I switch Input to FireCube which comes up with 3840x2160p @ 60 Hz

    2. Then I switch back to RPi4 (Kodi) -> No Signal

    3. Reboot Pi -> Signal in 4K is back

    Same behaviour is when I turn TV off and on again -> No Signal from RPi

    With FHD Settings in Kodi I don't have these issues. Its only in 4K Mode.

    Enhanced UHD Colors is activated on TV.

    My Feeling:

    -----------------

    I would assume kind of a negotiation Problem when switching back and forth as the Samsung shows pretty long the "loading" Circle and ends up in "No Signal, Check Source". As if the Pi needs to send kind of an init signal which does not come.

    Also strange is that even if I see a picture after rebooting the tvservice sais no "device attached"....

    Info:

    -------

    Kodi is on he whole time, I can reach it via ssh and it operates normal. (I also read about one guy who's kodi always crashed, thats not my problem)

    After freshly booted (GUI on the Screen) I have this output :D

    Code
    kodi:~ # tvservice -l
0 attached device(s), display ID's are :

    After switched Inputs (no Signal), the same:

    Code
    kodi:~ # tvservice -l
0 attached device(s), display ID's are :

    Created edid via:

    tvservice -d

    then

    edidparser

    output:

    I think the last line is relevant which is showing that all should work:

    Code
    HDMI0:EDID preferred mode remained as CEA (97) 3840x2160p @ 60 Hz with pixel clock 594 MHz


    So please I hope anyone can help!!
