Missing resolution: 1080i

Hello there!

I’m new here, I just left Xbian in favor o OSMC on my RPi1.
It’s all working great, except for one little thing: on the resolution list, I’m missing the largest one supported by my TV: 1080i.

I had it on XBian (with Kodi Helix), but with OSMC the highest is 720p :frowning: what can I do?

Check resolutions (and EDID) with tvservice

Your TV reports that 720p is the native format (most likely the actual resolution of display).
You will get a better picture with 720p than 1080i.

Kodi doesn’t add interlaced modes to the list of supported resolutions unless it is the default boot resolution (and will show as DESKTOP in GUI).

Yeah you’re right, I noticed the native myself after posting.

In fact, I thought that the native resolution was 1366 x 768, but I also noticed that over 720p it always got in overscan. Probably the panel is 720p.

In fact, the image got crispier, and I started noticing that the automati scrolling of text in the skin (like the synopsis of movies) isn’t perfect, and it follows the pixels a bit. Before, on 1080i + underscaling, I didn’t notice it!
