Beelink MiniMXIII-II

Hi all,
I have a Beelink MiniMXIII-II (S905x) running on CoreElec 9.2 and I’m trying to put a fresh install of CoreElec 21.1.1 but after booting I get an “unsupported resolution” from the TV and when Kodi starts the resolution is set to 480i but can’t see anything on the screen.
The things I have tried:

  • setting vout=‘1080p60hz’ in config.ini
  • setting kernel_hdmimode=480i60hz1080p60hz in resolution.ini
    something to note is that with my CoreElec 9.2 I also get an ‘unsupported resolution’ at boot time but Kodi starts it’s fine (1080p or 720p not sure)

any suggestions?

Clean fresh install with HDMI screen.

That’s what I did 3 times (2 times with 21.1 and 1 time with 20.5), the box connected to a Sony TV and I also tried with my Dell Monitor.

Modify config.ini so that you have SSH access. Change the line
#coreelec=‘quiet’

to
coreelec=‘quiet ssh’

Be sure to remove the #

When CE boots, make an SSH connection and try manually changing the resolution
CoreELEC:~ # echo 720p60hz > /sys/class/display/mode

CoreELEC:~ # echo 1080p60hz > /sys/class/display/mode

or
CoreELEC:~ # echo 720p50hz > /sys/class/display/mode

CoreELEC:~ # echo 1080p50hz > /sys/class/display/mode

I can’t ssh to the box with coreelec=‘quiet ssh’ (I did uncomment the line)
I get: ssh: connect to host coreelec.local port 22: Connection refused

anything else to do to enable ssh?

No that’s all that’s required. If that doesn’t work, maybe try hooking it up to a different television, then set the resolution, enable SSH etc, before going back to this TV.

It works now on the same TV, I’m not sure what did the trick: I booted on android and then on CE but turning the TV on only after the box started.

anyway thanks all for your help, much appreciated
