If I turn the TV off, or change the source away from XBMCbuntu for one minute then the video will disappear. The server and XBMC are still running as confirmed via a terminal. The video is not restored by a key entry or running a video.
If I leave the TV on with the XBMCbuntu source selected, there are no issues, even days later.
Reading the xbmc.log, I suspect the issue arises here:
18:57:40 T:3038193408 ERROR: XLCDproc::Connect - Unable to connect to host, LCDd not running?
18:57:40 T:3038193408 ERROR: XLCDproc::Initialize - Connect failed. Giving up.
which I believe is a result of this snippet of code from the (source code, uncompiled) XLCDproc.cpp:
CloseSocket();
// give up after 60 seconds
if (m_initRetryInterval > INIT_RETRY_INTERVAL_MAX)
{
m_used = false;
CLog::Log(LOGERROR, "XLCDproc::%s - Connect failed. Giving up.", __FUNCTION__);
With the TV off, or on a different input, XBMC is not seeing the handshake it requires and in 60 seconds stops sending a signal.
I found a solution for a RPi setup, and was hoping something similar existed for a linux XBMC 12.2 setup.
RPi solution: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=172803
Add to /boot/config.txt file
# Force HDMI even if unplugged or powered off
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
If you could please direct me to a similar solution for my XBMCbuntu 12.2 setup, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you all!
