No SD video out

Hello all, Pi3 OSMC 3-1
Ive been trying to build a mobile system with a Pi screen and a secondary screen via the video out. My problem is that i cannot get any video output from the video out on the pi no matter what i do. I have tried every config.txt modification that i can think of:
sdtv_mode=0,
sdtv_mode=2
sdtv_aspect=1
sdtv_aspect=2
hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1
disable_overscan

Tried on a Pi2 and Pi3, thought it may be my cables, ordered a new 4pole to rca and got nothing, Tried a dvd monitor and 3 different televisions, 3 different input cables and yes I have tried putting to red cable to the video input and it still didnt work. Furthest i have made it is audio and a black screen

I have even flashed a new SD card with OSMC and used only the rca cable at install and got nowhere.
I do get a CEC error on startup from kodi or OSMC when i use only the piscreen, i dont know if its related, but I am at a loss for what to try next.

Kodi has no support for dual screens. But previous to that, I don’t think the pi supports analog + any other video output simultaneously either.

From my research, you can use two screens on a pi with the exception of HDMI and the composite at the same time, so the display port and rca should result in a mirrored display. But i cannot even get any signal out of the RCA at any time, even by itself.

Are you using the correct cable for the analog jack?

I had to try different cable too, this one was working with the video output on red Amazon.fr :Commentaires en ligne:

I haven’t changed anything in the config.txt file to make it work

Yes, i have used 3 different cables, the last one that i tried i can get a black screen over red that looks like something is trying to come through and a couple of white lines to the right of center.

In your position, as I was recently while on holiday, I would think about how to get more info about what happens.
If you can SSH in, you could run
tvservice -s
to see what the system is reportng on video output mode.
You could, if you have any linux systems, look at the kodi log file in ~osmc/.kodi/temp/kod.log to see what is being loaded there.

I suspect that the pi screen may be the reason for the lack of signal on the analogue output - all the reported stuff is consistent with the pi screen and not other - certainly the output of tvservice doen’t look like the report I got whent using the analogue output.
