Problem description:
Hi,
Im glad to be a new user and owner of a rasperri Pi 2 (B). I just bought it yesterday and have complete set it up like i wish. Soon im trying to get my won ambilight with xbian.
Except for one little problem, as soons as i play or stop a video, it reconnects the hdmi. Is this a sync issue? or is this a xbian related issue. I wanne try the other software too Elec something... But i do think this is a settings somewhere to change the refesh rate of the tv or something idk. Could anywone look in to this for me?
Here a video with some more guided explenation about what is going wrong here.
Thanks!
Faulty reconnection problems: latest beta
Working xBian 2015.02.07 rpi2
How to reproduce:
Well install latest beta, leave everything default, close down the wizard window.
Connect it to a 27 + inch display. Boot it.
Then, start xbmc, added a nfs share for movies, play movie and then it reconnecs hdmi, like it looses it connection for a second. Then pause and its ok, Then Close the movie and it will reconnect again.
(Sometime it start on 640 x 800, i do think this is because i shutdown the system wrong, cause whenever i shutdown. Reconnect hdmi + power and boot again i get the 1080p resolution back.
common issue after installing other product or shutdown improperly?, that it resets to 640 x 800? can this question also be answered)
What i tried to solve this and Findings
* Defaulting back stable version, this works flawless.
* Connected directly to tv without cinema
* Disable the builtin tv option (swap channels automaticly of something get regonisez on hdmi) (later i realised that the raspberry is connected to cinema, so the tv input wouldnt change) (but after that i realised that i connect it to tv to test without cinema, so users can try this option if their stuck) (lol)
* Its not harware related, openElec works fine no recconections... just works...
* Its not 60 inch related, i have the same problem on my 27 dell screens. Am i the only one or i cant find this problem enywhere but should it be more user related then? not sure...
* Adjust display refresh rate to match video" enabled in Settings->Video->Playback
* NOTE: After every install i did a clean windows safe removal and i shutted down Kodi each time completely. I also disconnected the hdmi and power cable after shutting down. And connecting them after i putted the fresh sd card back in to prevent any issues.
** Left all settings default after clean installation trys
Current Progress: / Final findings
Narrowing down with version corrupted.
XBain 2015.03.07 rpi2 fails
XBian 2015.02.28 rpi2 fails
xBian 2015.02.21 rpi2 fails
xBian 2015.02.14 rpi2 fails
xBian 2015.02.07 rpi2, finally narrowed it down, this is the last version when it works normally for me and i didnt got the hdmi signal loss.

Firstly I'd reset the skin back to confluence and see if that causes the same issue.
Then I would try another HDMI cable as it seems to be the TV that is resetting the HDMI connection.

Can you try openelec and see if you get the same issue. If so, then it's Kodi and not XBian.
If openelec works, then can you post the output from XBian for dmesg and kodi.log via pastebin.com after a couple of reconnects.
Can you also update the post with details as requested in "Please read before you post"

Wow, will adjust that but, i changed back my theme, rebooted, now i cannot do anything anymore, black screen, even no more ssh
UPDATE: strange i disconnected hdmi. power and sd card, connected again, got my screen back
RE: hdmi screen keeps reconecting while play/stop - IriDium - 18th Mar, 2015 02:52 AM
OK, something is odd.
Can you install raspbian and see if it boots. If not then it might be a H/W issue. Is this a RPi2?
You'll need to provide more information about your setup

This seems normal to me.
Do you have "Adjust refresh rate" enabled? See http://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Video#Playback
RE: hdmi screen keeps reconecting while play/stop - IIIdefconIII - 18th Mar, 2015 06:31 AM
Problem is xbian related, i have that enabled i just installed Elec, and works perfect, i just dont know why are there 3 different version, xbian, elec and rasb something.. Why not make 1 good version? Anyway. Elec does work but ik heard that xbain is lighter? So i think this is a xbian bug cause with elac its not reconnecting the hdmi

Where is that option?
Pause during refresh rate change ?
What do you mean after a couple of reconnects? ssh into the device then dmesg?
Not sure what to do know
Im going to try a fresh xbian version without used plugins, just to be sure its xbain related
Ok i just installed a fresh xbian, latest stable version.. As SOON as the rasparri pie is done showing xbain loading menu, and the screen goes to the main kodi screen, the hdmi disconnect and connected with the tv. Same results with stopping/playing movies. So i think its xbain related. What should i do next with ssh?
And the video flags about that, what should i change here?
RE: hdmi screen keeps reconecting while play/stop - IIIdefconIII - 18th Mar, 2015 09:34 AM
OK it only happens on the latest beta version, the stable version is ok. beta reconnects hdmi before starting a movie
Testing Several versions now read OP section for updates...

I think you still dont get it..nothing wrong there, it works as it should ...
watch my video, you would see normal behavior, refresh rate matches the video thats why TV is switching modes
RE: hdmi screen keeps reconecting while play/stop - rikardo1979 - 19th Mar, 2015 07:23 AM
and btw, you would not see this behavior on your computer for simple reason, and thats cos your PC is not CEC enabled, so your computer is not sending any signal through HDMI for your TV to change mode. unless you have USB CEC Adapter connected

Try the oldest beta verison available in xbian installer an you will see, it will not refresh. Would you mind trying cause i tried and with old version it doesnt refresh, with openelec it doesnt refresh (recconect) but with later beta version it does. So its a bug.
Once again in both our videos its reconnecting hdmi, i will post a video soon with the older beta build where it does not behaive like this
updated original post with working video. Like i said, this is xbian bug
