Startup with variable resolution and framerate?

I am running Xbian 1.0 beta 1.1 on my Model B 512mb Pi.

I would like to be able to power up the Pi without turning on my AV amp and TV but when I do this, Xbian defaults in 720p 60hz. Any video files I play will also only play at this resolution and framerate but I want to play files in their native resolution and framerate. I have changed the system setting to display at 1080p and I have also enabled "sync framerate to match video" in the video settings. The TV and amp are capable of 1080p 24hz and if I turn on the Amp and TV before the Pi this all works fine in full 1080p and the video's native framerate. I tried adding the
'hdmi_mode=32' to the config.txt but then everything plays at 1080p 24hz which is no good for some video files I have.

Is there a way I can turn on my Pi without having to turn on the Amp and TV but still get playback of all files in their native resolution and framerate? I am guessing I need an EDID.dat for this but I do not know how to make one and could not find a thread or google result for this, so if anyone knows of a guide for beginners, that would be great. Or another solution?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

your CEC not working as it should clearly. When you have installed XBian first time and you boot up first time from this card, did you have all the HDMI devices ON and TV on the input where RPi is connected? If not than this might be the problem as sometime or more likely the CEC get wrong settings as it miss some device in chain of connections.
You may try manual setup if you run cec-config from command and do the settings(not available anymore, sorry my bad) so you may try what mk01 mentioned

Quote: I was able to restore it by stopping XBMC, removing /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/peripheral_data/rpi_2708_1001.xml and starting XBMC again

- or also you may edit this file if you know how to do (some basics about values for libCEC on Pulse-eight FAQs)
- or you may try reflash XBian and make sure all HDMI devs are ON prior to first boot

Give it a try and get back yo us
