@mims92

Kodi starts but I have a black screen. I can 'hear' Kodi menu when pressing arrow keys.

Lets try EDID display modes, in /DietPi/dietpi.txt, change existing entry setenv videoconfig to line below

 setenv videoconfig "video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60"

And force HDMI plugged in:

setenv HPD "false"

Still a black screen.

find /usr/lib -name libEGL*

It should match:

root@DietPi:~# find /usr/lib -name libEGL*
/usr/lib/libEGL.so.1.4
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.4
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libEGL.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libEGL.so.1
/usr/lib/libEGL.so

Also, try purging/reinstalling GPU drivers:

apt-get purge xf86-video-armsoc-odroid malit628-odroid
apt-get install xf86-video-armsoc-odroid malit628-odroid

You also have some additional mesa packages:

libgles2-mesa:armhf
libglu1-mesa:armhf

Try removing these:

apt-get purge libgles2-mesa libglu1-mesa

@fourdee

I ran find /usr/lib -name libEGL* and the output is the same.

Uninstalling 

libgles2-mesa:armhf
libglu1-mesa:armhf

would remove Kodi.

Here is my Xorg.conf:

Yep, thats fine:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/master/dietpi/conf/xorg_xu4.conf

All your installed packages/settings appear to be in order. I believe this may be a simple case of incompatibly with your TV/XU4, as, I was unable to replicate this issue in our tests. Have you tried other images (eg: Official HK ubuntu / Meveric) in the past? If so, did they work?

We can assume Kodi is running "fine" (as you mentioned menu sounds are functional)

Few things you could try to debug:

  • Different HDMI cable
  • Lower resolution (720p)
  • Different TV
  • Fresh + test installation of DietPi + Kodi selected

I've an eMMc with Android installed on it it was fine. I can see the console on my TV as well.

I will try by lowering the resolution and maybe change some settings.

Reinstalling would take some times because of all the installed software (I'm lazy I know).

I will post my findings if any.

On my rapsberry pi (dietpi also), it is working.
Same cable, same tv

Hi @Fourdee,

I installed a fresh installation of dietpi + Kodi only, I don't have any error but still have a black screen.

I noticed a small square window with a message (maybe not important):

libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

before having the black screen.

I also lowered the resolution from 1080 to 720 but no luck.

@mims92

Sorry to hear this is still an outstanding issue.
However, this is the only reported issue for XU4 Kodi + black screen from our users, and, we cant replicate it.

I've an eMMc with Android installed on it it was fine. I can see the console on my TV as well.

  • If it works on Android, it may be a feature compiled into the Android Kodi binary, that is lacking in the debian one.
  • As none of the known HDMI settings/tweaks worked (https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/893#issuecomment-296372835), it could be the Android kernel is somehow more compatible with your TV.

It could be anything, however, being honest, i'am not sure what the cause is.

I installed a fresh installation of dietpi + Kodi only, I don't have any error but still have a black screen.

It may be worth testing various HDMI settings in boot.ini on this fresh install aswell:
