Can you provide the output of the following four commands ?

ls -al /sys/class/display/

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/999-fix-amlogic.rules

cat /sys/class/display/mode

groups

Also what happens if you try to do this, does your TV switch mode ?

echo 1080p >/sys/class/display/mode

1080p50hz* in disp_cap means that your TV reports this as the default preferred mode, so it seems strange that the initramfs would not switch the TV to this mode before Kodi starts. Can you confirm what mode (from the TV OSD) the TV is in before Kodi starts up, and then what mode it is in after Kodi starts ? (Ignore what Kodi says - check on your TV)

Would also be good to know what version this user is running.

Everything that happens is the 720p portion of the screen is decentralized and moves to the left corner of the screen.
(I have set the screen to display everything 1:1 atm)

Can’t do sorry my TV unfortunately does not show something like 1080@60 I don’t know why. Only thing I know is that every other device chooses 1080p when the video output option is set to “automatic” or “use native”.

OSMC 2016.04-2
Kodi 16.1 RC3

Or what did you mean?

Oh!

My bad! Guess we can close this down. The old “turning everything off and back on” did not do the trick so I assumed it was something else BUT

The problem was that when I turned everything back on the OSMC was quicker that the TV. This means that when booting up the device did not have an output ready so it chose the default setting and subsequently greyed everything else out.

Rebooting the device manually while the TV is still ON is the solution because now the device can “realign” itself to the preferred or native solution.

Still would be interesting to know how to force OSMC to use a certain resolution

If we can’t read the EDID (TV not ready) we fall back to 720p which is a safe resolution. That’s what’s happening here.

I’m exploring the possibility of a ‘cmdline.txt’ like situation in the future for changing things like starting resolution.
