is there anything special i need to do to get the displayport output working?
i unplugged the hdmi cable so that only the displayport is plugged in, boot up and i get nothing i get no picture at all. when i just plug in hdmi it comes up no problem. i'm just trying to determine if the dispalyport adapter is defective or if i'm doing something wrong.
As detailed the wiki, using a passive DisplayPort->HDMI adapter as the only output doesn't work (because it gets identified as HDMI2, and OE will default to HDMI1 even if it's not connected). You can use it as a secondary output (with the HDMI as primary) and toggle it via settings, otherwise you'll need to set it as the output manually, either via ssh or autostart.sh script. Or get an active converter. I'd ssh in, enumerate the output names using 'xrandr --props' and then set the one needed (HDMI2?) manually to test. If the display comes up, then use autostart.sh to set it as the default (or you might be able to do it via the video output GUI settings)
Quote:ideally, i'd like to have my displayport to hdmi adapter be able to ouput to my tv upstairs and my hdmi cable go to the tv downstairs like i did in the past with my nuc. i don't need to use both outputs at the same time, just want the box available as needed.
doable, but see above
Quote:also, can anyone tell me what my idea render method settings should be? i see various settings in this thread as the bugs were worked out. i'm currently having a problem with some minor lip syncing audio issues.
the wiki is the authoritative source.
Quote:EDIT - ok was determined to get the audio sync fixed and for some reason if i have the adjust display refresh rate to match video feature turned on then audio gets slightly out of sync. no idea why. when its turned off audio is perfect in full bluray or mkv rips
I believe OE (or Kodi?) uses a 175ms delay by default for audio over HDMI at 24p, you can override (setting it to 0) it via advancedsettings.xml - don't have the setting handy, so just search for it
