Older TVs such as Samsung may not support 1080p, so the following line needs to be changed for 1080i:
Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i"
After editing, restart your system by issuing sudo reboot

u 4got to change 720p to 1080p
Look again. it was changed on Dec 2nd
Sorry for the daft question,
i am trying to configure this, i copied the file to my PC with WinSCP, edited and tried to copy back but get access denied. also the same if i try to edit the file directly on the ATV with WinSCP.
is there something else i need to do to get permission to replace or edit the file?
i am logged in using osmc/osmc, do i need to log in as root?
what would the password be?
Thanks!!
Root password is not set by default.
Suggest you copy the file to /home/osmc then ssh into the atv and copy with sudo cp /etc/X11/.
Where did I go wrong?

Start a forum post if you’re having problems, explaining what these problems are.
I started a new thread, but I haven’t gotten any responses in the past 11 days since I started the thread: Apple TV Component Config - Where’d I go wrong?
Thanks first for your posting and I got my component video working. However, the analog audio output got low sound and bad quality. I installed this new OSMC KODI with a Usb and I know my atv1 hardware is good. I still kept my old Apple OS with XBMC Eden version and audio worked great. Can anyone help me on how to fix this?
