Hi,
I have installed Kodi on top of Ubuntu 16 LTS which is all running on an Intel NUC. I have the NUC connected to my Philips TV through HDMI port 2 on the NUC to HDMI port 1 on the TV. I bought a PulseEight HDMI CEC internal adaptor for the NUC which I have setup. That's the reason I am using HDMI port 2 on the NUC because if I connect via port 1 then I cannot use my TV's remote to control Kodi.
So, to my problem!... This has been driving me mad for a while now!... Basically, "most" of the time when I switch the TV to HDMI port 1 to use Kodi the screen is blank and I get "no signal" displayed by the TV. Very rarely kodi is displayed.
This is really annoying as I have to keep rebooting the system to try and get kodi to be visible. Even rebooting, kodi is not always displayed and I sometimes get the same blank screen.
Even if I press buttons on the remote nothing happens. I also have a Bluetooth keyboard connected to the NUC but pressing keys on this does not do anything either!
I can connect to Ubuntu via SSH and run the command
$ ps aux | grep kodi
Which shows kodi is running.
The only display I have on the NUC is the TV. Otherwise I manage the NUC via SSH.
I also have the Kore app on my mobile. It shows that it is connected to kodi but once again pressing buttons does not being back the screen. I even tried using the 'wakeup' command on it but that did not help either!!
Any ideas how I could fix this?
Please let know if anyone requires any further info on setup.
