  • [RPi5] Strange HDMI problem

    update :)

    After HDMI 0 finally started working, I disabled/re-enabled the TV's Easy Link function, switched the HDMI input, and then back to HDMI 1 on the TV, and Pulse Eight connected. :)

    Sometimes, after restarting LibreELEC, I have to switch the TV's HDMI input and back again for Pulse Eight to connect.

    But I can live with that. :)

    his could also be a hardware fault of the RPi

    but in the same configuration the RPi5 works on the newer TV

    Thank you so much for your support and patience with me :)

    cheers

    I've made some progress.

    I connected the Raspberry Pi 5 to the new TV, ran "getedid create," and restarted it.

    After that, CEC stopped working.

    Then I connected the Raspberry Pi 5 to the old TV and now I'm getting 1920x1080p60 via the HDMI 0 port near the USB-C port.

    But unfortunately, CEC still doesn't work.

    I'll keep trying!

    The cmdline.txt file now looks like this:

    Code
    boot=UUID=0104-2539 disk=UUID=4c1d367c-0d64-4c95-9ee3-9bb81fb5d111 quiet console=ttyAMA10,115200 console=tty0 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/edid-HDMI-A-1.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D

    Hi everyone,

    I've been using LibreELEC/Kodi for many years.

    First of all, I'd like to thank you for your great work and support.

    Most recently, I was using LibreELEC 12.2.1 on a Raspberry Pi 4 2GB, and everything worked perfectly.
    However, I recently had to switch internet providers and could no longer use Zattoo/1&1 TV.
    That's why I decided to switch to Waipu.

    But LibreELEC 12.2.1 only has the older version of the Waipu add-on.
    So I bought a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB and installed LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260330-2bbb06d.img.

    My problem:
    I'm using the same cable and the same HDMI port on both the TV and the Raspberry Pi (HDMI 0) for all tests.
    I've also tried other high-quality cables and different HDMI ports.

    1) On the new Philips TV: everything works as expected, including Remote Control CEC.

    2) The problem occurs with the old Philips TV, which previously worked perfectly with the RPi4 and LE12.
    Connected to HDMI 0 (near the USB-C port), the RPi5 is only recognized as DVI by the old TV, and EDID doesn't work either.

    When I use HDMI 1 on the RPi5, the old TV recognizes the RPi5 as an HDMI device, but CEC doesn't work on the HDMI port :(

    3)For testing purposes, I installed LE10 on the Raspberry Pi 4 2GB.
    The TV recognizes the Raspberry Pi 4's HDMI 0 port as an HDMI device, and everything works.

    In my opinion, it can't be a hardware issue.
    - 1 (or more) cables that all worked
    - 2 different Raspberry Pis that also work
    - 2 TVs that also work
    only the Raspberry Pi 5 and the old TV don't work :( I even unplugged the TV for 10 hours.

    It works immediately with the Raspberry Pi 4 and LE10

    Do you have any ideas what else I can try?

    Thank you in advance.
    Mario
