hi! i came here because i have a little problem with kodi: i'm using a particular LCD (7" capacitive touch and a resolution about 1024*600, 60Hz, 15:9) and i would like to ude kodi with raspbian. so i've installed kodi on raspbian (raspberry pi 3) and i tried to set a custom resolution.

problem starts when i launch "kodi" (or "kodi-standalone) in terminal, because kodi use a resolution about 720*480 that's not correct and the display goes off not working properly.

my question is: can i set a custom resolution?

raspbian works fine because in /boot/config.txt i added some lines:

##LCD7"##
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 ( this line is useless, it works also without this line)
max_usb_current=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0


other os (libreelect, noobs) doesn't work

thank you

EDIT: i forgot, this time i didn't use noobs, i downloaded the full raspbian image and used that

Remember NOOBs has two boot partitions.
One for NOOBs (that you will see when using windows) and one for the target OS (e.g. LibreElec).
Make sure you are editing the right one.

(or just install LE directly without NOOBS).

yep, i forgot to tell that this time i didn't use noobs because i prefer a fresh installation than noobs
(now i will edit first post)

Adding hdmi_force_mode=1 may help.
If not, can you post debug log (wiki) from libreelec?

The log looks okay - 1024x600 is the resolution kodi is using.
Can you report the output of "tvservice -s" both when using raspbian (with kodi running) and with libreelec?

[94-psy]

only raspbian:

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice -s
state 0x12000a [HDMI DMT (87) RGB full 15:9], 1024x600 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

this is on raspbian using command "kodi" in terminal

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice -s                                                
state 0x12000a [HDMI DMT (87) RGB full 15:9], 1024x600 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

and this is on raspbian using command "kodi-standalone" in terminal

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tvservice -s
state 0x12000a [HDMI DMT (87) RGB full 15:9], 1024x600 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

no more libreelec installed.

last command force me to reboot raspbian :/

Why do you say that Kodi is running 720x480 exactly ? Both Kodi and tvservice says it is running 1024x600 @ 60Hz 15:9, the same as without Kodi running.

[94-psy]

i saw "resolution" in gui-settings and it was 720x480. if the resolution was really 1024x600 i should see something on my screen instead of a black screen with some white vertical line

in fact it's strange. log and resolution say that they are ok, but nothing is working.. yesterday i had freezed my lcd some times launching "kodi" in terminal and last time i had to wait a few hours before start using it

[rascas]

Nope, resolution in Kodi is the same, 1024x600. If Kodi doesnt work on it, it is because something else.
Which brand and model is that LCD exactly ?
Did you tried with default settings (moving/removing ~/.kodi)?

[94-psy]

this is the LCD:
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B015GR2...UTF8&psc=1

i think this is a kind of wiki:
https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/7inch_HDMI_LCD_©

well yeah, default settings where the first thing i tried, then i looked for some extra options to set resolution.

well, as LCD was made, i can tell you that kodi isn't using properly the resolution that raspian have, and i can see that because of LCD goes off and it doesn't work any more
this happens every time the resolution is wrong (tried on 2 or 3 raspberry)

in fact i can't understand why it isn't working. every thing is telling me that all is ok, but nothing works
noobs doesn't works, libreelec neither, osmc neither, kodi installed on raspbian neither. only raspbian works fine
