hi everybody,

I use kodi on my RPI4 with archlinuxarm. All work perfectly, except when i restart kodi service with systemd

Code:

systemctl restart kodi
lines 1-11/11 (END)...skipping...
● kodi.service - Kodi standalone (GBM)
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kodi.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since Mon 2024-04-01 11:57:13 CEST; 17min ago
   Main PID: 32348 (kodi-standalone)
      Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915)
        CPU: 17ms
     CGroup: /system.slice/kodi.service
             ‣ 32348 /bin/sh /usr/bin/kodi-standalone

avr 01 11:57:13 rpi4 systemd[1]: Started Kodi standalone (GBM).
avr 01 11:57:13 rpi4 (andalone)[32348]: pam_unix(loginession): session opened for user kodi(uid=967) by kodi(uid=0)



So, i have no error message, kodi seem to be running,  i can acces to it with firefox... but on my 1920x1080p screen, when i turn on my TV screen, kodi did'n start.

So my problem is that i must turn on my screen to start kodi without problem, and that i want it to start kodi when it is turned off. :/

The fix is to capture the edid of the display to a file, and use that.
Here are instructions to do this with RPiOS.
Arch is probably similar.
