I hope this is the right place..
Just installed a new fresh device.
Mobo is Biostar NM70I-847 - Moederbord - mini ITX - Intel Celeron 847 - NM70 - Gigabit Ethernet - HD Graphics
Running latest stable openelec build for intel
The problem is this
Normally i set it like this:
Pc connected to pioneer vsx 919 (with hdmi) , then with hdmi connected to tv
When i do this with my windows xbmc machine, everything works well
But when i try this with my new openelec machine i dont get anythin on the screen
As soon as i connect the openelec straight away to the tv with hdmi , i do get a picture (thats how i installed it)
Without the pioneer inbetween..
How do i get it to work with my amplifier in between?
Hdmi ports are correctly set up
I think this is a handshake issue..
Tv is turned on first wi right hdmi port
Then the pioneer with right hdmi port
Then when all is started
I turn on the htpc...
you could motivate others looking into this by posting a debug log along with detailed information on what you did in order to produce this log.
Huh? Debug log wont contain anything, cause i cant see anything..
Its no xbmc bug..
Did you read my post?
XBMC will enumerate the modes when it starts up. This can be seen in the logs. Also /usr /lib /xbmc /xbmc-xrandr will show that info.

What a nice forthcoming answer - post a log - it may not be of use to you - but may help you fix your problem by allowing others to see what your machine is up to !
Ok then but how should i do this then?
Connect itlike it should, so htpc - pioneer - tv, but then i dont see a thing and cant get the log?
Ot
Connect it straight away htpc - tv, then i will see a log, but it wont show the problem...
Reproduce the problem, so your first connection method, then connect with ssh and upload the log to pastebin.com with the command:
Code:
pastebinit -u /storage/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
In case you don't know, the username is root and the default password is openelec.
Actually I am having the same problem....XBMC will only boot when the tv is on (although i am on XBMCbuntu). XBMC does not create any logs as it is not started. Last lineof my xbmc.log:
Code:
10:41:25 T:3038467840 NOTICE: application stopped...
After this I rebooted again with TV turned off, but no further logging.
Xorg.0.log does provide some clues however:

So apparently X cannot find any monitor and closes the connection?

Not sure if i enabled ssh during install.. Dont think so
+ i need ip adress too right?
It says my connection is refused (ssh)
Enable it in OpenELEC Settings, or edit /flash/extlinux.conf and add "ssh" to the end of the APPEND line ie:
Code:
APPEND boot=LABEL=System disk=LABEL=Storage quiet ssh
Mount /flash read-write with "mount -o remount,rw /flash", edit extlinux.conf using vi or nano, then remount /flash read-only with "mount -o remount,ro /flash".
i attached a second pc monitor to look what was wrong
AND BINGO
suddenly i have screen on the tv (with avr in between) and on the pc monitor
I watched the video settings and they were on
1650x1080 or something like that
refresh rate was 58.8
As soon as i set it to 1920x1080 , video was gone on tv but not on monitor
getting back to lower resolution
there was tv again...
I couldnt believe my eyes cause 1920x1080p was working straight away on tv (without avr), and on windows its working with avr too on that resolution
so i looked further
And i changed refresh rate to 60 and resolution to 1920x1080p and TADAAAAAAAA
Picture on tv !
Phew !
problem solved, so refresh rate should be on 60 right? not 58.88
