Thanks Sam. Updated version of my logs https://paste.osmc.tv/cabazigana
Sorry for the delay. Your EDID has four separate definitions for 1080p60! I suspect the one Vero picks is only relevant to the VGA input but we’ve no way of knowing that.
As a workaround, you should be able to set the resolution to 1080p50 or 720p60 (on a different monitor) so you can at least get a GUI picture. Can you confirm that works? I’ll have to think about the best way of working round this quirk without upsetting other users with PC monitors.
@grahamh I’ve forced:
- 720p60 ok
- 1080p50 ok
- 1080p59 NOK
- 1080p60 nok
I should have tried harder what was already written in the forum.
Thanks for confirming. You should not have to do without 1080p60 so we will get this fixed for you.
@grahamh I then tried to play a movie. But once started my screen getting blank again. When I stop it I recover the screen 
Do not hesitate to contact me, I will do my best to help you.
If the movie is 30 or 60Hz that’s expected. You would have to whitelist just 1080p50 to see the movie but it might not play smoothly.
@grahamh it’s a lot to process and I havn’t understood everything but I’ve found a nice How To to start with [HowTo] Guide to the Kodi whitelist function and related settings
Now I try to understand the following:
Your EDID has four separate definitions for 1080p60! I suspect the one Vero picks is only relevant to the VGA input but we’ve no way of knowing that.
cat /sys/devices/virtual/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/rawedid | edid-decode | grep 1080
gives me
DMT 0x52: 1920x1080 60.000 Hz 16:9 67.500 kHz 148.500 MHz
DTD 1: 1920x1080 59.934 Hz 16:9 66.587 kHz 138.500 MHz (543 mm x 305 mm)

VIC 16: 1920x1080 60.000 Hz 16:9 67.500 kHz 148.500 MHz (native)
VIC 5: 1920x1080i 60.000 Hz 16:9 33.750 kHz 74.250 MHz

- Shouldn’t Kodi select by default the «native» configuration with the higher frequency? This is most probably what it’s doing and that’s why I have to force a lower frequency. That means I still have a lot of reading to do in order to understand.
- This problem occured after the last upgrade. Do you know what changed on that perimeter?
thank you for your time.
At the moment we assume the timing in ‘DTD 1’ is the correct (‘native’) mode. But for some reason that’s not working. The other three lines for 1080p60 are the standard CTA timings that TVs support. I haven’t come across a display that supports that timing for 1920x1080 before (if you are interested, it’s called ‘reduced blanking’).
The reason it’s popped up now is we made some changes to support monitors with 1920x1200 which needs Vero to read and rely on that DTD 1.
I’ve got a fix which should also solve @qpkorr’s issue, but it will need some changes to kernel code.

Thanks @grahamh ! I’d offer the output of
cat /sys/devices/virtual/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/rawedid | edid-decode | grep 1080
also - but it looks like you’ve already got it in the debug logs 
Not sure if it’s saying I might have some success with 640x480 - but I think I’d rather wait for your fix!
I’ve merged these fixes – but won’t be able to make them available until next weekend as I’m currently travelling. Once I’ve done so, I’ll update this thread with a test builds.
Cheers

I’ll make these changes available shortly – but I’m waiting to merge a couple of extra fixes before doing so.
I’ll let you know when these changes are available. I’m anticipating the end of the week.
Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for your patience. The issue is hopefully now addressed.
To test this update:
- Login via the command line
- Run the following command to add the staging repository:
echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list - Run the following commands to update:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot - Your system should have have received the update.
Please see if the issue is resolved.
I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.
This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.
Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.
Does not seems to work (I’ve sent the logs link by IM to @sam_nazarko and @grahamh).

It doesn’t look like you updated to the new kernel. Try checking for updates again.
You were right tried the update upgrade and now screen is back. Thank you very much for your time and hard work.
I guess the development will be included in the next upgrade (like december)?

Great – thanks for confirming.
We’ll include the change in the next update but don’t have a firm schedule just yet.

Thank you - yep, working for me too.
The volume controls on the RF remote are no longer controlling my AVR via CEC - perhaps that’s a side effect of the update (which caused the screen issues) but the CEC Adapter was listed as enabled and I couldn’t immediately see what was wrong with the settings. Will look some more and post separately if required.
Also - was a little surprised that ‘reboot’ didn’t just work for me:
#: john@o1mc:~ ; reboot
Failed to set wall message, ignoring: Interactive authentication required.
Failed to reboot system via logind: Interactive authentication required.
Failed to open initctl fifo: Permission denied
Failed to talk to init daemon.
#: john@o1mc:~ ; sudo reboot
Connection to o1mc closed by remote host.
Connection to o1mc closed.
Perhaps I’m not in the right group?
#: john@o1mc:~ ; groups
john adm disk lp dialout cdrom sudo audio video osmc
Anyway, main problem fixed - thanks so much guys!
FYI - I tried turning off Vero and AVR for ten minutes to fix CEC, as suggested in some places, but no luck. However, reverting to default settings for CEC then adjusting to my setup solved the problems (at least after a reboot). The HDMI settings were quite different after I reset them to default - not sure what was going on there - but all fixed.
