Black Screen with 8.95.4

Help & Support Hardware
1

Hi,

after updating to the latest Version, ill get an black screen after the coreelec Logo. I can hear a sound if i use the fb.

Hardware Beelink Gt3 ulrimat S912.

Try to go back to x.3.

2

Same problem happened to me… i have Beelink MiniMX (S905 1GB 8GB)
Also tried a clean install, but the problem persist
With 8.95.3 no problem
Sorry for my bad english

3

same for me on S905X box.

Now I tried to go back to 8.95.3 and I’m stuck at “addon-migration running…” :cry:

4

Black screen for me, on H96 Pro. Downgraded to 8.95.3. Saw the addon migration running for about 10 secs, then everything working, except inputstream adaptive not compatible.

5

No problems here on a Mecool M8S Pro+ (S905X)

6

Last update killed my box too. A95x (s905x).

7

Working without problems on Mini M8s II S905x

8

black screen with me.

i have wetek play 2

Same here with an S905D (Mecool Ki Pro), both in nand or SD, clean install or update, it seems something related to a system or kernel modification, and the DTB in my case is the same of 8.95.3 (compared hashes).

It’s likely some of the HDR fixes cause a problem with some displays.

Working on a fix for this.

11

Ok thanks :slight_smile: I tried 8.95.4 with the old kernel and it worked, so it’s likely an issue with the new kernel.

12

No problem at all on X92_S912 box.

@aaron89

can you try 8.95.4 again and this time make a disp_cap file in .kodi/userdata with the following content

1080p60hz
14

Ok, executed through SSH:

echo “1080p60hz” > /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap
systemctl restart kodi

and it worked! thanks! :smiley:

15

ok, well that’s not a solution. But it at least lets us know where to look to fix it the problem.

thanks.

Just tried CoreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-nightly_20181025.img.gz with my A95X (s905x), and there is no video.
My TV uses 1080i @59/60 for what that is worth. No HDR support.

17

Just building some test images to see if the problem has been solved. Will post links once they finish building.

Since I missed getting this in in time to be included in relkai’s nightly builds here is a test build with the proposed fix to the black screen issue suffered by 8.95.4.

If this solves the black screen problem a 8.95.4.1 will be issued to replace the 8.95.4 release.

There are test images for Odroid C2, S905, S912 here.

Note: if you added a .kodi/userdata/disp_cap file to work around this problem already please remove it before testing this build.

I had the same black screen problem after updating to 8.95.4 version on Tanix TX3 Mini installed on internal. Latest build fixed it.
How can I turn on Kodi splash screen? Now it’s all black until Kodi boots up.
