Hi,
This is a follow up questions to an article written by @fritsch. The article was awesome and super helpful, as all of his guide are. Thanks for that!!
I''m referring to a specific piece here:
In my case my BluRay player is connected to the TV via HDMI 1 with ARC. There is a "SmartLink" feature that kicks-in once a signal is detected, and it connects both systems together. Pretty straightforward. The Media Centre is connected to the Samsung BluRay HDMI IN port. If I start the Bluray player first and then start the Media Centre, everything is fine and the Media Centre signal is displayed fine.
Problem is the other way around. If I start MediaCenter first or it's in Display Blank screen saver mode and the BluRay player is still off, and I then start the BluRay Player, the HDMI input isn't detected. I'd assume that somehow the Media Centre doesn't correctly initialize the HDMI signal.
So I implemented this piece from the article but it didn't quite solve the problem. I always have to reboot the Media Centre to get the HDMI signal.
Now we write the following into the created /home/kodi/.config/openbox/autostart file, this will automatically switch your TV to full range (please copy the lines, don't try to type the '` and so on, this code only works for one (1) connected TV, if you have multiple devices extend it to a loop):
Did anything change with Ubuntu 17.10 Server on Intel Iris 630 integrated graphics? Do i need to modify or change the script?
Thanks for your input!
Cheers,
End
