LibreELEC-HD18Q.arm-9.2.8.7.img.gz and 720p 50Hz #31

Closed MyKeySoftMK closed 10 months ago

I want to use my MK808B Plus to use as a LEDI Clock in my Video-Studio. The External HDMI-Input of my Mixer Device has a "720p 50Hz" Requirement.

How can I config the 9.2.8.7 to run in this mode/resolution?

BTW: After installing LibreELEC i install Debian Xenial (16.04) mit MATE for the UI. In the configuration is put in the 720 mode - but the mixer didn´t show the picture from my MK808B

If you only use it for this purpose and you don't need any other resolution at all, it is best to use a static disp_cap file to override the allowed resolutions and place it in /storage/.kodi/userdata with the following content: 720p50hz

MyKeySoftMK commented 11 months ago

Where i find the file? On the SD-Card I didnt find this mentioned folder/file.

I have a "hdmi.sh" - but only they mentioned mode "720p" but not the 50Hz.

all the other files are binaries - so i didn´t can change them easy

I need the MK808 only for this purpose in future with 720p 50Hz

dtechsrv commented 11 months ago

This file does not exist by default, you have to create it like this: echo "720p50hz" > /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap

^ But in this case only the 720p@50Hz resolution will be available.

Did it work? Because then I would close this ticket.

No - sorry - i have tried sometimes - but they still have the 60Hz - but i need the 50Hz

dtechsrv commented 10 months ago

I just can't imagine this solution not working for you. I just tried it on an S805 MXQ box.

I didn't do anything special, I just ran that one single line: echo "720p50hz" > /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap

After a restart, it was not possible to choose another resolution, it appeared immediately with this resolution.

See attached photo: disp_cap_720p50Hz

You are not a very talkative person. I always feel like I'm using a corkscrew to pry the answer out of you, and a week or two goes by in the meantime. :(

Anyway, the solution I presented above works, that's a fact. So I ask you directly: "Are you sure you did the same?"

MyKeySoftMK commented 10 months ago

I think, that my stick is not "normal" - i have first install your image and then i install Linux Mint on it. But the directory /storage/.kodi/userdata not exits - /storage/.kodi is not there. So your workaround/fix is not working by me.

Sorry for the longwaiting answer

dtechsrv commented 10 months ago

Well, under Linux Mint there is probably no /storage directory, it is specifically used by LibreELEC, because the /dev/data partition is mounted there.

Unfortunately, I cannot help under other distros, but the above solution should work under LibreELEC.

If you don't mind, I'll close this ticket now.
