Hi

Is a way to force the I4/Openelec to always boot up at 720P60?
Just now, despite being passed edid information from display asking for 1280x720p@60 the unit is at times deciding to boot to 1280x1024@60Hz and there is no way to alter that resolution in memory other than to reboot and hope for the best.

Hopefully someone will know a solution

Many thanks

No solution currently. It's a kernel bug and upstream does not care ... if uEnv.txt entry does not help -> no chance.

What you could try:

1.) Succesfully boot
2.) cat /sys/devices/soc0/soc.1/20e0000.hdmi_video/edid > /storage/my_personal_edid.bin
3.) edit /storage/.config/autostart.sh


4.) Hope, pray (depending on your personal religion).

Thanks for that.

I have never done any editing in the software.
where does #2 hang out?
can I access the file over the network?

Sorry, this workaround is for advanced users only. If you are glad, you find someone in OpenELEC channel that guides you on howto use ssh.

To SSH and paste those commands fritsch has shown above > This will be your guide:

And then a 101 on Putty for Win users:

Every time I try and connect with putty via SSH and I type 'root'



I have enabled SSH.......


All the best

You disabled password auth in OE settings - reenable it, reboot and it will work.
