Upgraded OSMC to Kodi V19.3 TV Screen Black

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
7

I had a similar issue on a Pi 3B: init screen is shown, but then all black; same error messages in the log; working ssh access.

My guess is that when the problem arises, HDMI is broken until next reboot. Currently, the problem is fixed for me (fingers crossed). What I did and reverted:

  • Connect the Pi with a different HDMI cable directly to the TV (bypassing the AVR).

What I did and is still in effect:

  • Remove an unused USB device
  • Add config_hdmi_boost=4 to /boot/config-user.txt
