I don't know whether or not this is the right place to ask but I have some questions to ask about Kodi on Raspbian.

I run my pi as both a media server and a print server. Both work fine but when I turn on the TV and switch the source channel, there is nothing but a black screen. I reboot using putTTY on my PC and everything loads fine (Kodi loading automatically and CUPS running fine) but the CEC remote doesn't work. I then have to reload Kodi to be able to use the remote.

Then, it sometimes randomly switches off during playback. I can access it using puTTY or Juice (on my tablet) and reboot it and everything is fine. I can still print stuff when this happens as well.

Are there any solutions for this as I have hit a mental block.

Try adding this to your config.txt file on the SD card's boot partition:

Code:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

I'm not sure if it will actually help, since you say it sometimes turns off during playback, but it might be worth a shot.
