I have to reboot it for it to show image, is this intended or can it be worked out? I updated to latest coreboot firmware and still the same
works fine here w/OE 5.0.2. There's a lot of factors that can affect hot-plugging functionality - OS, drivers, display device, etc.

there's nothing in the wiki that would affect hot-plugging

Can't help with your issue, but I don't think it's recommended to be swapping hdmi cables with the equipment on. I have read that there is a small chance that you could fry the hdmi circuits on one of the devices. I have not experienced this, but I don't want to take the chance.
Might be worth investing in a little hdmi switcher?
Ben
a HDMI switcher would be essentially doing the same thing, just automatically.

and it works fine here, as I noted above, so something specific to Veronica's setup is causing the issue

My tv goes black like it's switching the refresh rate, but then it always comes up at 1080p60. The video is 720p30 (verified with the codec info screen). I'm running on an Asus Chromebox running openelec 5.0.2.
yes, and it does. it would appear that your TV doesn't support 720p30. have you verified that it does via xrandr output, or by setting the UI to 720p30 to verify correct operation there?

All of the other menus are responsive except for this section. I'm going to try reinitializing my OpenELEC install from within Kodi if it will let me get in there and rebuild as some of my plugins don't seem to be working now
I've noticed this behaviour for quite a while and I have the box wired in to Ethernet. I thought this was the case with wifi with bootup with hanging NFS mount but now it seems even these menus are hanging for some reason.
Ideas?
sounds like you upgraded from 4.2.1 to 5.0.0. While some might not have issues, there's a reason the OE folks recommend a fresh install. I had an issue with the OE network page being blank on a box I upgraded, fortunately deleting the add-on data cleared it up. I'd recommend you try that first, and if it doesn't work, then to do a hard reset.
