I’ve tried that - didn’t work
cat /var/log/hdmi-trace.log | paste-log
http://paste.osmc.io/ilihuwoqar
osmc@osmc:~$ printf "$(echo \0$(find /sys -name edid -exec cat {} +|sed 's/\0x/\\x/g') | sed 's/\ //g' | sed 's/\0//' )" |tr -d ' ' | paste-log
find: `/sys/kernel/debug': Permission denied
I wasn’t clear. Run sudo -s which will make you root and let you run this command
Sam
root@osmc:/home/osmc# printf “$(echo \0$(find /sys -name edid -exec cat {} +|sed ‘s/\0x/\x/g’) | sed ‘s/\ //g’ | sed ‘s/\0//’ )” |tr -d ’ ’ | paste-log

Hi
That should be enough now for me to take a further look at the issue
Sam
Sam, thank you for your help, I forgot to mention that I’m using SPDIF to RCA convertor which is powered by USB cable straight from Vero in case it matters
Sam, any updates ?
Apologies – was ill for a couple of days but looking in to it.
it seems the EDID Isn’t parseable, can you re-try with:
find /sys -name edid -exec cat {} + | paste-log
You don’t need to be on the broken version for this – the EDID is independent of any version of OSMC and is sent by the TV / receiver.
Sam
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo find /sys -name edid -exec cat {} + | paste-log

Sam, video issue is annoying however I can get around it via changing ratio, but lack of the sound make the system completely unusable, any advice on that ? I’m ready to downgrade to any usable build, can I do it before you guys fix the problems?
Hi
@mk01 took a look at this. The video issue should be resolved in the next update:
Still looking at audio issue. The projector does not advertise any supported audio modes (which makes sense, as it is a projector).
Sam
Can you upload the output of speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault:imxspdif
if that command is not found, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
Can you try plug the Vero in to another TV and see if SPDIF works? Is the SPDIF light illuminating when you try and play audio? Is it off when you’re not? The light should be on for three seconds or so at boot, then go off until you try and play something.

I connected to TV and everything works perfect via HDMI, also I’ve noticed that not only video image is squeezed same issue with program icons, previews and even animated loading icons which looks like an ellipse rotated 45 degree not a circle
Sam, I’ve tried all images from here Download - OSMC.
Only June version works great for me - no sound and video issues at all
I’ll stick with it for a while, if you need any log files let me know, I understand that not a lot of people using SPDIF output on Vero and you don’t have a lot of complains about that problem
Hi
I am still keen to get this issue fixed. We have a few people using SPDIF, and they don’t have an issue (I think @chris_vero uses a projector and SPDIF just like you).
The video issue is taken care of, but SPDIF may take a bit of time. I am trying to wrap up the issue which affects booting on Vero at the moment, so this is taking a bit of my time as it is very high priority.
Sam
Hi, Sam, I’ve updated to the latest build and again same issues with sound and video ? Do you stop supporting Vero 1st generation at all? I guess I need to downgrade to June version again
When we announced the Vero 1 we said we would offer three years of support (features and performance improvements) and five years of security updates. This is still the case.
I would need to see a log and EDID if the options persist after this time. We are not aware of it persisting.
Sam
@sam_nazarko
my bad, just updated to April version and video looks good, but there still no sound by SPDIF, what log files do you need ?
I’m hearing a bunch of weird digital noises when executing this command

If the speaker test is working, then this may suggest a Kodi issue with parsing the audio capabilities from EDID. I will double check with @mk01 again as it seems this issue has persisted for you, but I haven’t seen any other reports.
If you can SCP an audio file (WAV) and run aplay -Ddefault:imxspdif filename.wav and let me know if that plays back OK that would be good to know.
