  • Black Screen when in libreelec, but display works on bios screen

    So when I boot up my mini PC when connected to LG smart tv, I get video signal, and it shows the initial bios screen. Then when you would normally get the libreelec boot screen and Kodi boot screen, then Kodi menu, all of that part it's black screen.

    Via

    tail /sys/class/drm/*/status

    I am able to see both the HDMI port on my box, and it shows connected for the port the TV is plugged in to. So the connection is good. No idea why this is happening. Maybe a libreelec/Kodi setting?

    Any help figuring out what's up would be appreciated! Thank you

  • [RPi4] DDCUtil on LE 12.0.2

    I know I'm late to the party, did you get it figured out? I am not sure which libraries you had unsatisfied via ldd but when I did it I was missing the basic x11 stuff and jansson. I was able to statically embed jansson into my build of ddcutil and then build it without libusb, drm, and x11, and that got it up and running for me. Still need to mess around with keybinding it now. But I am not on the pi platform so it could be different, if you want the steps I took to do it:

    I did my building on ubuntu,
    1) Get the build tools + dependencies
    2) statically build jansson (./configure --enable-static --disable-shared CFLAGS="-fPIC")
    3) clone, etc.. for ddcutil, setup, then config (./configure --disable-usb --disable-drm --disable-x11 LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bstatic -ljansson -Wl,-Bdynamic")
    4) build

    hope that helps!
