Just a shot in the dark: Because you reported that your AVR switches automatically back to TV/SAT. Do you have tried with CEC disabled? Default is to report KODI as active source. Maybe something is going wrong with it in your current configuration.

Sorry, forgot to reply to this, I checked the CEC, for some reason there were two CEC add-ons that could each accept different settings(which I thought was weird, kinda figure changing one, would make the same change in the other?) Anyway, disabled both, no change to the operation, LE display still freezes, but LE is running, just the display is not updating. (Also, the only time the AVR switched automatically back to TV/SAT, was when the EDID was forced to the TV, even tho the HDMI was plugged in to the AVR.

Some further info, I installed Rasbian(64), then installed KODI as a package from within Rasbian. I get 2 options on the Menu kodi.desktop, and kodi-fs.desktop(fullscreen?). If I run kodi.desktop, all seems to run OK, even connected through the AVR. If however, I run kodi-fs.desktop, I get the same frozen display, but Kodi still running in the background, that I get when I am running LE as the OS. Does that point any fingers at what the issue might be?

No further ideas what to do with this as yet? Just checking, see if it has fallen off the map?

First_edid-HDMI-A-1.zip   Second_edid-HDMI-A-1.zip

I have attached 2 edid-HDMI-A-1.bin files, the first_edid-HDMI-A-1.zip file contains the binary with video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60 line still in config.txt(but /storage/.config/firmware/edid/edid-HDMI-A-1.bin was deleted, then recreated)

second_edid-HDMI-A-1.zip file contains the binary with video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60 line removed from config.txt(but /storage/.config/firmware/edid/edid-HDMI-A-1.bin was deleted, then recreated)

So, I ran "getedid delete", then edited my cmdline.txt (in /flash/) to look like this

boot=UUID=1808-5617 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60 disk=UUID=1ed9354f-4e21-4ca9-b>

That results in the original problem returning (Display not updating past the splash screen)

Added this to config.txt :

[boot]

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60

Result is still display will not get past Splash screen

Sorry if this is not what you asked me to do? (Not a linux guy at all, & could benefit from more expicit instructions?

Thanks

Ok, I might need a liitle more explanation. I SSH'd into LE, ran getedid create, got a response " successfully installed edid override for HDMI-A-1". I can see that it created "Configfiles/firmware/edid/edid-HDMI-A-1.bin". Now, I have no idea where to go from here?

So, I re-read your post a few times, realised I was done(I think?), just needed to power down, & connect LE back to AVR, & try it out. I did that, as soon as LE started up, AVR Input switched to "TV/SAT" (Is actually connected to HDMI2). I can set the input back to HDMI2 on the AVR, but it immediately switches input to "TV/SAT" (TV/SAT is an optical input) No matter which HDMI Input I plug LE into, (HDMI1,2,3, or 4) the input switches automatically back to TV/SAT. It makes no difference if I use the remote to switch inputs, or the dial on the AVR, as soon as I select the input LE is connected to , the AVR automatically switches the input to TV/SAT.

I tried powering down RPi, set AVR input to HDMI2, all good, boot up LE, Get a green screen flash on the TV, then input on AVR switches to TV/SAT.

LE display freezes at the "Just enough OS for KODI" screen, when connected through my Pioneer VSX-32 Surround amp. Other devices, like my old WD boxes have no such issue. This issue started with my old Pi4, but, I just gave up on it. Now I have a new 8GB Pi5. Installed LE on an SSD, does the exact same thing (display freezes at the splash screen) If I connect the other HDMI out to another monitor, or to the LG TV, it boots fine, but the TV connected to the VSX-32 will just show a blank screen. This is very annoying, as I cannot use my Surround system, unless I hook one HDMI (from the PI)to the surround system (for the sound output) and the other HDMI directly to the TV for the video stream.

Like I said, if I bypass the surround system, LE works fine, but fefuses to go beyond the splash screen(The system is running, I can generate UI sounds, just can't see what I am doing)

Display More

Sorry, I wish to add, I tried to look at the log, and there appears to be at least 2 startups in the log? The initial startup failed to get past a black screen with "LibreELEC (official) 12.0.1" in the top left of the display. (This, even though I was hooked directly to a computer monitor, bypassing my AVR).

A re-boot (some number of hours later) connected directly to a 1080P Monitor, and LE started up. I enabled Debug Logging, shut down, connected LE to my Pioneer VSX-32 AVR, rebooted, and captured the Log file mentioned in the first post. (Also, in the quoted text)

So, to be clear, I have the Official KODI Repo installed, and tha A4KSubtitle repo installed(Which is not blacklisted) and somehow that supposedly includes Banned add-ons?

I did have Zomboided installed, so I could use OpenVPN, but, had to uninstall VPN to make the debug log size smaller, was having trouble getting log small enough.

I am a new user, so, this will be moderated, feel free to not post it, but, maybe reply what I have that is banned?

LE is almost certainly not "freezing at the splash screen" .. but something prevents it from being able to correctly setup an output display device and thus the boot splash is never overwritten by the Kodi desktop appearing. I have a hunch this is related to EDID data on the HDMI connection (or lack thereof) but a debug log from the RPi will normally allow us to see if that's the issue.

So, I look in the log, I see " error <general>: [display-info] Error parsing EDID:"

What can I do about this?

Ok, Here it is, (I think?)

You make the pastebin thing seem easy, but the log needs to be split in two, or it exceeds the file size limit, and after I split it, I get this from pastebin

"Pastebin’s SMART filters have detected potentially offensive or questionable content in your Paste.
The content you are trying to publish has been deemed potentially offensive or questionable by our filters, because of this you’re receiving this warning.

What can I do, as you can not likely see private pastes?

Like the title says, LE freezes at the "Just enough OS for KODI" screen, when connected through my Pioneer VSX-32 Surround amp. Other devices, like my old WD boxes have no such issue.

So, I thought I would just run KODI installed on Rasbian bookworm. It will run in a window, but will refuse to run fullscreen. (Just shows a black screen)

I think this might be related to the display driver, (as it seems to be not functioning no matter how I try to run it.) I have also tried XBian, it gets past the splash, to the KODI screen, then locks as well.

I read this on Raspberry Pi forum"Kodi on the Raspberry Pi 4 will only function if you are using the Open Source drivers! This is the "GL (Fake KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with fake KMS" on raspi-config, which is currently the default on the Raspbian images for the RPi 4. If you select the Broadcom/Legacy driver, it won't work!"

I can see that I am using the broadcom driver, but, have no idea how to change it, or, if changing it is a good idea? (That post was about the Pi4, but, I did have this exact issue on the Pi4 as well)
