Blackscreen stream on 4K/UHD display
sefsh opened this issue · 9 comments
I'm running OSMC on a Pi 4. When Steam Link with the launcher the display reports resolution 3840×2160p. It does not matter what resolution OSMC was set to use prior to launching Steam Link. It always switches to 2160p. The Steam Link client or host, whatever it is, doesn't like that and display a black screen instead. Sound comes through fine, and the stream stats looks good.
I tried Steam Link on Raspbian to troubleshoot and that it worked well (though that was Debian Bullseye).
I've also tried to limit the stream resolution in the streaming settings to no avail. Thus it really seems like the issue lies with the chosen 2160p resolution chosen by Steam Link.
Can the launcher force a maximum of 1080p somehow?
go to steam forums with your issues the launcher cant control the program, only launch it
sorry cant be of anymore help here
This was actually an issue with dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d in config.txt, that needed to be changed to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d,cma-512 (notice the f). 🙌
added to readme, tnx for the followup
the launcher cant control the program, only launch it
But can it launch it "within" the resolution set by OSMC? 😃
ask away on the forums leaving osmc support for the os devs
Doubt you can dual overlays etc since this is out of the scope for the project that is why i dont handle it
