Kodi will not boot GUI but can hear remote "clicks" and can SSH into it
#1
Hello Everyone, 

I am running into this issue with Kodi and the Raspberry Pi 4, where there is no image being displayed. However, there is clicks from the remote and I can SSH into the console.

Error log is as follows: https://paste.kodi.tv/avujizebuv.kodi

Are you using the fkms overlay in /boot/config.txt?

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

No should I add it? It’s under the flash folder via SSH right?

That is not an error/debug log. Debugging mode must be enabled, and then LibreELEC restarted, to see a full debug log.

As in "nothing at all"? Because your current log show no videos being played, at all.

Didn't even notice it was LibreELEC, it should be all right in that case.  I am not sure where it is on LibreELEC, it's not really my kind of thing.  I know if you run kms then I believe you see the GUI, but no video playback is displayed.  Perhaps, as Klojum suggested maybe start up in debug and see if it has any additional information.  Also, make sure you plug it into the right HDMI port, should be the one next to the USB-C charger port.

Perhaps clarifying whether you see the GUI at all, or you just see no video during playback would be helpful.

I ended up fixing it by adding the following to my config.txt:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
config_hdmi_boost=4
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=4
disable_overscan=0
overscan_left=24
overscan_right=24
overscan_top=24
overscan_bottom=24
