HDMI Handshaking or Sleep Issue
#1
ATV2 with Greenpoison 4.2.1 (4.1.1)

After leaving my atv2 with xbmc running for a few hours I come back and the screen is blank with no input detected, I press Menu and no response I have to Hold Down and Menu to restart the ATV2 to get it back up.

I have turned on and off screensaver in both xbmc and frontrow

I have a denon receiver so im not sure if it is a handshake issue or that its going to sleep and not recovering

Anyone else with this issue, tried to search everywhere

I get this symptom if I leave the ATV2 set to Never Sleep. I believe it's a heat issue. Switching to sleep after 15 minutes (in frontrow, not xbmc) solved the problem for me.

Awesome I will try that, does xbmc resume after the ATV goes to
or do I need to set the xbmc on boot app

Hehe, heat. At 6 Watts max, I think not. My hardware hacked ATV2 lives with the internal heat sink removed for ahhhh, better poking access and it never has any issues.
