Settings the video output resolution from XBMC is blocked somehow. It seems to be fixed at 1080p@60Hz.

I would like to use 720p@50Hz or 1080i@50Hz. How can I get this done?

Kind regards,

Michel

You may try this from the console. (taken from Koying@xbmc forum)

check supportet resolutions..

Code: Select All Code

cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes

and dynamically change it with, e.g.

Code: Select All Code

echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
echo U:1280x720p-60 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank

Have you actually tried this?

No, as I didn't need this, but others yes. Isn't it working?

Hi mijanek!

With matrixTV 1.0.0.3-1 version:

Code: Select All Code

[root@matrixtv ~]# cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
S:640x480p-60
S:1920x1080p-30
S:1920x1080p-25
S:1920x1080p-24
S:720x576p-50
S:720x480p-60
S:720x480p-60
S:1280x720p-50
S:1280x720p-60
S:1920x1080p-50
S:1920x1080p-60
V:640x480p-60
D:1920x1080p-60
V:640x480p-60


echo S:1280x720p-60 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode is working.

Looked everywhere, read all documentation, but no root password or other shell login credentials to be found

maybe documentation could be updated... No one guesses the root password to be root

What is the exact syntax to set it to 720p@50Hz?

Tried several options, but get nothing but errors...

Should be:

Code: Select All Code

echo S:1280x720p-50 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode

Thanks, 1920x1080@24Hz works. Picture is not very nice, but at least I am having some picture.
