Recently (3-4 days) my Vero2 stopped outputting HDMI video after the initial boot splash. I do get the “Please stand by” message for a couple of seconds, then nothing. My TV just says “No signal”.
I’ve tried using a different cable and a different HDMI port on the TV, with no change.
I’ve run an update just now, which didn’t seem to change anything.
Plugging in the HDMI cable after booting doesn’t produce an image either.
The kernel log does mention this, but I don’t know if it’s relevant:
[ 25.640608] amlvideo openamlvideo closehdmitx: edid: not find mapped display mode

Any ideas?
Hi,
Has the device lost power unexpectedly recently? Looks like file system corruption to me. I would back your .kodi folder and do a reinstall.
Thanks Tom.
I don’t think there has been any power loss that would coincide with the video issue, but I can’t rule it out. What points you toward file system corruption? I’d expect to see execution failures or fsck errors in the kernel log?
Hi,
I think your correct, but the the skin is trying to load missing font files:

I see from your apt logs fonts have been installed, also it looks like an autoremove has removed some fonts. It looking a bit of mess, if you go through the apt history, you maybe able to revert these changes; but it would probably be easier to reinstall and restore.
Thanks Tom.

Do you have the opportunity to take a backup and reinstall? That might be the quickest solution

I reinstalled (I think) but the problem persists. I get the initial splash screen, then nothing.

Hi,
It’s still showing the font error, I’m assuming it you restored .kodi aswell; please advise if that isn’t the case. Which suggests there may be an issue the restored setup, I suggest letting kodi rebuild the profile. From the commandline:
sudo systemctl stop mediacenter
sudo mv .kodi kodi.back
sudo systemctl start mediacenter
If that doesn’t resolve the issue you can restore with:
sudo systemctl stop mediacenter
sudo mv kodi.back .kodi
sudo systemctl start mediacenter
If you get the kodi screen back, you will need to restore from .kodi; one step at a time till you find the cause.
Thanks Tom.
No this was from a pristine state after reinstall. I’ve tried deleting .kodi and restarting, but no change.
I’ve uploaded new logs, just in case: https://paste.osmc.tv/vegijativi
I do see errors in the kernel log pointing towards bad nand storage, but I don’t see the usual i/o errors to indicate that it’s causing problems.
Theres also a few lines from hdmitx and amlvideo that look interesting to me, but I have no idea whether or not they are normal.
Isn’t there some way I can test the video output manually?
Would it be possible for you to plug it into a different TV or a PC monitor to see what happens?
