HDMI Handshake issue fixed - getafix - 2012-04-15 I am not sure if this has been posted on the forums but after a long time battling with HDMI handshake issues, I came across a fix which has so far fixed my issues when switching inputs on my amp and losing signal to my XBMC PC. It aslo solved the issue whereby my resolution would change to what looked like 16bit colour. Anyway, enough rambling. Here it is The only thing I would add is to first run the program to get the EDID info from your TV. Then disconnect the HDMI cable from your TV to the AVR and then run the program again to get the AVR EDID. Then merge the two INF files together. Hope this helps RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - sialivi - 2012-04-15 Good info, However, it's mentioned in one of the threads that's linked from there that there's no need to merge them. See here.

I found it totally frustrating to the point of abandoning it completely. I was using an NTV550 as my media player, but my HP Microserver with Eden way outperforms the Netgear. I am now totally stoked. RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - Jaxx - 2012-04-16 Glad that you're sorted Just wondering if anyone has a solution for XBMCLive ? Would appreciate some pointers as Im living with this very issue. RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - Snippo - 2012-04-16 If you're using a Nvidia card you could try the 'CustomEDID' option in xorg.conf (guides can be found on google). If you're using an ATI card there is no solution unfortunately (fglrx doesn't support CustomEDID).

RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - Spyderturbo007 - 2012-04-25 Do I want to use the EDID from my TV, or from the Denon AVR? By the looks of the post on AVSForum, I want to use the Denon AVR EDID. RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - DDDamian - 2012-04-25 They are often a combination of the two... RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - Spyderturbo007 - 2012-04-25 So then I do need to merge the two like instructed in the initial post in the Windows experts forum? RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - gate1975mlm - 2012-04-27 I just got the HDmi Detective Plus and it fixed all my HDMI Handshake issues I was having with my HTPC. It's a lillte pricey but well worth it if you want to once and for all fix all the HDMI Handshae isues! http://www.amazon.com/Gefen-EXT-HDMI-EDIDP-HDmi-Detective-Plus/dp/B001RIMZUW My HTPC is plugged into a Denon 1610 receiver and then into a Pioneer 5070 HDTV. And when I would leave my HTPC with XBMC running and the turn off my receiver at random times when I would turn the receiver back on there would be no signal coming from the HTPC. So the screen was just blank and the only way to get it back was I had to hard reset the computer. Other issues I had was if I had a video playing either in XBMC or any other media player in full screen and then I turned off the receiver when I would turn it back on the video would crash to the desktop everytime. Since adding the HDmi Detective Plus it has fixed every issue I was having. I can now turn off and on my receiver and it never messes up the playing video or loses the signal form the HTPC. HDmi Detective Plus is one awesome little device that wiill save you a lot of headeggs!! http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005 I highly recommend it!!! RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - Snippo - 2012-05-02 I managed to find a solution for my problem in xbmcbuntu. The command Code: sudo service lightdm restart I mapped the command to a button on my remote so I don't have to SSH in to the box everytime I get a black screen: Find the name of the button you wish to use by typing Code: irw Then Code: sudo nano /home/<username>/.lircrc Code: # Start XBMC Code: sudo nano /etc/rc.local Code: #start IRexec Create a file startXBMC.sh in /home/<username>/scripts/: Code: sudo nano /home/<username>/scripts/startXBMC.sh Code: #restart lightdm Code: sudo chmod +x /home/<username>/scripts/startXBMC.sh Because the service lightdm restart command needs root access you need to start the script as sudo without having to type a password: Code: sudo visudo Code: %sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/home/<username>/scripts/startXBMC.sh Edit: If your username isn't part of the admin group it won't work. You can change '%admin' to '<username>' or: Code: adduser <username> sudo Edit 2: Seems the admin group is replaced by sudo in newer versions of Ubuntu. Credits go to this post RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - denz13 - 2014-09-08 Sorry to drag up an old post, does anyone have any information from the original link provided by the OP as it's a dead link. I have issues with HDMI handshake between both my laptop and PC when switching inputs on my Samsung receiver. RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - myweb - 2015-04-19 The following works for me: Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BusID "PCI:01:00:0" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0,DFP-1" Option "UseHotplugEvents" "false" Option "UseEDID" "true" Option "IgnoreEDID" "false" Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/epson.edid.bin;DFP-1:/etc/X11/onkyo.edid.bin" RE: HDMI Handshake issue fixed - n326595 - 2016-11-10 I realize this is an old thread. I hope this helps someone that is also experiencing this issue. I have 3 Kodi Chromeboxes connected to flat screen TV's that were experiencing a HDMI handshaking issue. Two of the TV's are 4K and one is 1080P. I get a message "No Signal" on the TV if I start the Kodi system first and then later start the TV. If I start the TV first and then start Kodi the issue doesn't occur. From what I understand the issue is cause by the TV's EDID info not being read by the Kodi box because the TV is off. I found a simple, FREE solution which is documented in the Wiki. It basically allows you to read the EDID info from the TV and permanently load it into Kodi. It fixed the problem on one of my 4K systems. See the following link. Go down the "Custom EDID" section. http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Configuring_a_Custom_xorg.conf#tab=Intel I used Putty to ssh into my Kodi box. I copied\pasted each command into the Putty terminal screen. I am trying to figure out why it doesn't work on two of my systems. If someone has some advice I would appreciate any info. I will update if I make any progress. Regards Larry |
