Strange refresh rate behavior
#1
Hello,
I noticed strange behaviour of available refresh rates on my Minix Neo U1. It happens both to LibreELEC 8 with KODI 17.6 and CoreELEC 9 with Kodi 18. My connection is Minix -> Onkyo receiver -> TV using hdmi. I noticed that if I power up Minix BEFORE receiver, I loose about half of available refresh rates. I can use unly 60,59 and 50 Hz both in menu and when watching video. If I power up receiver first and then minix, I can use all the refresh rates properly and it will also switch to 24p automatically if needed. Looks like minix is checking if there is something connected to other side of hdmi cable during powering up :-) Anyone else experienced this ?
Thanx

There is no proper HDMI EDID handshake if the TV is not powered on before the U1.

Make sure your AVR and TV are powered up before rebooting LE or CE Kodi.
Then SSH login and do this:

Code:
cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap > /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap

Then stop and restart Kodi:
Code:
systemctl stop kodi
systemctl start kodi

That will hardcore your TV's display capabilities into Kodi so it will not matter if the TV is switched on before your boot LE/CE.
