Kodi restarts after monitor is turned on

[Portisch]

The system can not read the EDID when the screen is off.

Why using a media center headless?

You can stop/start/disable the kodi.service to have a “headless” system.
Or you can try to dump disp_cap:

No. Connect the device directly to the TV or buy another AVR. AVRs are known to make problems on reading EDID and break CEC as well. You can dump your disp_cap to the device and this will be used. I think this is the command to dump them: cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap > /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap Please ensure that the AVR is turned on and all disp_cap informations are read correct before dumping it.
