Thanks for the help, i finally found the solution.
It was really as simple as adding some kernel parameters to the append line in the extlinux.conf.
My looks now like this:
LABEL LibreELEC
LINUX /KERNEL
FDT /sun50i-a64-pine64.dtb
APPEND boot=UUID=1304-1642 disk=UUID=fd58b039-6b5a-45b3-9576-325b932d81fa quiet console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 video=HDMI-A-1:3840x1080@30e This topic can be closed, thank you again.
I still need help here
I tried to use different kernel parameters, i tried using different kernel parameters with custom edid and i tried kernel parameters with a real edid.
Everytime i get a blank screen when i try this kernel parameter:
initrd=/edid.cpio drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin video=card0-HDMI-A-1:3840x1080D
I just want to force 1 Resolution on every screen, this cant be this difficult to achieve.
Other way around: The used display gives 2 Resolutions, 3840x2560 and 3840x1080, as far as i understand this, Kodi takes the higher one. Can i force kodi without interaction (using some kind of setting) to use 3840x1080?
Or can someone give me a custom edid with only 3840x1080@30 and tells me how to tell LE to use this edid, because i dont get it?
Thank you in advance
Just to let you guys know, the image LibreELEC-A64.arm-10.0.2-pine64-plus.img.gz is broken and cannot be flashed on a sd card.
I used the nightly image (LibreELEC-A64.arm-11.0-nightly-20220510-aefc6b8-pine64-plus.img.gz) instead and it works like a charm, including ethernet.
And now that i have ssh i can do other fun stuff, but is it possible, that xrandr isnt a command anymore?
Thank you for your help, i will try using the Plus Image for Ethernet support and the kernel arguments for forcing the resolution.
As soon as i have results i will tell you if it worked or not.
Please excuse the late answer, currently i'm using this image:
LibreELEC-A64.arm-11.0-nightly-20220413-5dcdedf-pine64
Unfortunately there is no such file. Will it work if i just create it?
Hello there,
i have a specific problem.
We are currently turning a Pine64 to a video kiosk of some kind and for that i need that LibreElec/Kodi only uses the resolution of 3840x1080@30.
I tried using my Autoexec Service with the specific xrandr command but everytime i change the resolution to something else and reboot afterwards it stays on the resolution picked by hand. The Service executes my xrandr command without failure.
The screen that is later used is a 32:9 Display and the EDID gives 3840x2560@60/30 and 3840x1080@30/60 (and some other even higher resolutions that i don't need) and LibreElec chooses (correctly) the higher resolution but i need to force 3840x1080 because otherwise the played media has bars or is streched.
Can you please help my with this problem?
P.S. i don't have SSH access because on the Pine the Ethernet port wont work.
