And still the same problem. I did more testing and looks like it's my AV-preamp that is causing this issue, no problems if I connect my Kodi PC directly to my TV. Installed kernel 4.4.21 but it made no difference. Same happens also via Display Port with HDMI adapter.
But I have a problem: screen goes blank in random times, even when idle in the main screen.
Looks like refresh rate is quicly changed and then changed back again. Same also happens when I go to settings screen of resolution and refresh rate, there screen goes blank and Kodi asks if I want to keep the change even before I do anything,
Cables are OK, I have no problems with earlier install of Ubuntu server 14.04 and Kodi (nightly).
Mainboard has Intel H87 chipset with Haswell processor, using HDMI connection.
So what is going on? Is there some known kernel/driver bug that causes this?
What has changed in Ubuntu 16.04 that is causing this? Looks like it's a signal timing issue, is there any way to tweak those parameters?
