Hey guys,
I have my raspberry pi 2 plugged using a 4-pole composite cable. It works fine when i plug in HDMI, but I don’t get any signal through the composite a/v output. Any ideas?
I’m using this cable: A/V Composite Cable - 3.5mm to 3x RCA - 2m | The Pi Hut and I have the red connector plugged as in the video input.
Thanks in advance.
David
It would make sense that when connected by HDMI, composite is disabled. I think it’s unlikely that the pi could push dual video over both outputs simultaneously.
Just to be clear, I only want it to output through analog, not both. Shouldn’t it be automatic?
Yes, make sure the HDMI is disconnected when you boot it.
I have tried that, but unfortunately there’s no signal.
Did you try yellow and black?
Yes I’ve tried pretty much every combination. Odd thing is that if I plug in the HDMI and switch to that input, the signal is working. Is there a way I can force it to output to analog instead of HDMI? I haven’t seen anything in the settings.
Unfortunately, I’m rather new to OSMC and the RPi in general. Any help is really appreciated.
I figured it out. I edited the config.txt file by adding:
hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1
sdtv_mode=0
and commented out hdmi_safe=1.
Seems to work, now I just need to see if I can do something about the background noise.
You should not have had hdmi_safe=1 in your config.txt in the first place.
It is not there by default in OSMC and it will (among other things) force HDMI output.
