Hello.
I also have a laptop with hdmi output, that I cannot get to output to my tv in hdmi
I’ve followed the instructions on this thread, and also the ones found here: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/PC/
Nothing seems to work. I make the changes. Save the changes. Reboot. But when I list the video outputs it still lists LVDS as “connected”
Am I missing something? Help!
I have difficulty to output hdmi via my dell Vostro 3700 with intel integrated graphic card and a nVidia GeForce GT330M video card. It’s totally fine to launch Lakka and play games on the built-in screen, but it seems the video signal cannot be output via hdmi? I plugged in hdmi then tried all settings in video but nothing happened. Could anybody help?
settings > video > monitor index should be what you need to mess with.
I tried all index settings, but still cannot output hdmi signal.
I tried the code
for p in /sys/class/drm//status; do con=${p%/status}; echo -n "${con#/card?-}: "; cat $p; done
then the results read
dp-1: disconnected LVDS-1: connected HDMI-A-1: connected LVDS-2: disconnected HDMI-A-2: disconnected
I also tried different video parameters as
video = LVDS-1
or
video = HDMI-A-1: connected
…
but still could work
It should be something like for enabling HDMI
video=dp-1:d video=LVDS-1:d video=LVDS-2:d HDMI-A-2:d HDMI-A-1:e
or
video=dp-1:d video=LVDS-1:d video=LVDS-2:d HDMI-A-2:e HDMI-A-1:d
Thanks for pointing out. Is there an easy way to try them all? Otherwise I need to stop the server, change the config file, resume the serve, restart the computer for each setting.
e => output forced to on d => output forced to off
oh, thanks for pointing out, I was thinking the other way!!
I know this post is a few years old but I recently stumbled onto Lakka, I have it working but I can’t seem to figure out how to output the video through the HDMI output on the PC I’m using. Following waveofpopularfeeling’s post, I’m able to SSH into the PC and bring up the config file but I have no idea how/where I should be putting the video=LVDS-1:d mentioned in duduke’s post. I’m a noob to programming and I may be overthinking the instructions but, do I add that line in to the beginning of the video parameter lines on the same line or do I add it as a new line above the video parameter lines. Also, do I add it at every instance of video in the code?
Sir can you please make a video on it please I try it but I m geting an error I’m not that in Linux command line so please and the error is
You are missing a space between the program and the path, the command should be
nano /storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
Not
nano.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
Thank you.
Boa tarde mais meu problema e um pouco diferente por que o meu da vídeo pelo hdmi mais a imagem fica com as cores todas distorcidas
That may mean either your laptop output or your display is expecting YUV instead of RGB (or the opposite). HDMI can carry both colorspaces, and if the display and the source don’t match, your colors will look crazy. Lots of super-bright greens and magentas, usually.
Mais estranho e que testei em outros monitores tanto hdmi como vga e a imagem fica da mesma forma mais na tela do notebook fica normal
Boa noite conseguir resolver pela dica do rapaz mais a cima para adicionar a opção no kernel e deu super certo
ah, that’s great! I’m glad you got it sorted.
