OK so now the script /home/admin/config.scripts/blitz.lcd.sh can switch between lcd-hat of the RaspiBlitz and the HDMI output with:

  • blitz.lcd.sh hdmi on --> to witch to HDMI
  • blitz.lcd.sh hdmi off --> to witch to LCD

there are also two new short commands for that script that can be used on the console:

  • hdmi --> to witch to HDMI
  • lcd --> to witch to LCD

The setting is stable over an update/recovery with a fresh SD Card. It might take some minutes after running an update until it switches from LCD to HDMI in that process.

Also there is a way now to let a RaspiBlitz starting with HDMI (without a LCD hat) from the beginning by placing a file called hdmi on the boot section of the RaspiBlitz sd card before first boot ... just connect the sd card to your laptop and create that file.

Testing looks good - closing the issue.
