No LCD monitor standby when idling
Software
XBian version: 1.0RC3 XBMC version: 13.2 Git:20140901-867305b Overclock settings: Xbian profile (840Mhz) Hardware Power supply rating: 5V 3A RPi model (model A/B 256mb/512mb): B+ 512mb SD card size and make/type: Kingston 8GB microSD Network (wireless or LAN): LAN Connected devices (TV, USB, network storage, etc.): RPi using 3 USBs connected to: 1 Seagate USB 2.0 Expansion 2TB, 1 Samsung SATA 320GB drive in USB 3.0 enclosure, 1 Logitech USB wireless combo (kb + mouse) Config files: /boot/config.txt: Quote:#initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000 Problem description: My RPi is connected to a Samsung LCD SyncMaster 2243N VGA monitor through an HDMI-VGA adaptor. When the black screensaver starts, the monitor doesn't go to standby and stays on, illuminating the room by showing a black image. Is there a way to make the monitor switch to standby when idle? Thanks in advance for any help, Alex |

RE: No LCD monitor standby when idling
Have you tried in xbian-config "Turn CEC capable TV OFF with screensaver"?
Never tried it but it might suit your needs. Or try System -> Input -> CEC adapter "Put devices in standby mode" If your screen is not CEC enabled, I think you are out of luck. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

Yes, but sadly, it doesn't work. What could influence this? Could you point me in the right direction?

RE: No LCD monitor standby when idling
Missed this point - you're going through a HDMI -> VGA adaptor. If I'm right, VGA has no CEC capabilities, so I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done in software.

RE: No LCD monitor standby when idling
When I shutdown, the monitor normally switches to standby like at the first command.
Isn't there a way to simulate this lack of signal? |

RE: No LCD monitor standby when idling
That's the monitor detecting no signal from the hardware. As far as I know there is no way of doing that in XBian. Sorry
BTW: In future, if you add your RPi configuration into your user profile you can just point a post to it, instead of entering it each time you post a new thread. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

I found that I can turn it off with:
Quote:/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -oBut if I try: Quote:/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -pIt will turn on without image. |
