Force HDMI output to stay active?
Posted: 05 Feb 2015, 09:49
Hi,
I have an old Xtreamer Pro and I flashed it with AMP r12. I tried to connect it to a Dell LCD monitor via an HDMI-to-VGA adapter, but the monitor just stays in sleep mode because HDMI port autodetect on the Xtreamer box thinks no monitor is connected via HDMI.
The HDMI-to-VGA adapter is the kind with audio phone jack output and uses the internal power fed from the HDMI port itself. I tested it on my PC and it works fine, so I'm pretty sure it's not a faulty adapter.
I found people facing the same problem on Raspberry Pi's forum, and someone suggested a solution by changing the "HDMI_safe = 1" in the config.txt file to force the HDMI port to stay active always. Is there a way to do the same with AMP r12?
Thanks in advance!
