only hdmi1 can output vedio

wolfcdd

My TV has 4 HDMIs, how do I set the video output to the second HDMI, the default in the system is only HDMI1, and the other HDMI cannot be selected.

Use the xrandr command to display hdmi2 disconnected.

see manual of your TV on how to switch to another HDMI input. this has nothing to do with the hdmi-output of batocera

Batocera is installed on the computer. The computer operating system is win10. The computer operating system can normally output through HDMI, but it will not work when running Batocera. There is only one HDMI in the output option of Batocera, even if my HDMI cable is connected to another HDMI. I can’t display it, but my TV can display that the connected HDMI interface has a signal, but it just can’t switch to the HDMI interface I want in Batocera.

I can connect to HDMI-2 display with my computer, but when using batocera, it can only display HDMI-1. The output only has three options of HDMI-1, EDP1, and AUTO. There is no HDMI-2, HDMI-3, HDMI-4.

You only need one HDMI-Output in Batocera. Why do you want more ouptuts? I still don’t understand your problem.

Could it be that you are confusing HDMI output with HDMI input?

A PC has HDMI-Output and a TV has HDMI-Input(s).

If you connect a device via HDMI-cable with your TV you can connect it to any of the HDMI-Inputs of the TV (for example HDMI-1). If you want to see the picture of the connected device, you have to switch on your TV to the HDMI-Input, which you connected via HDMI-cable.

Examples: If your Windows PC is connected to HDMI-1 to your TV and you want to see it, you have to select HDMI-1 on your TV as input. If another PC or device is connected to HDMI-2 on your TV you have to set HDMI-2 as Input on your TV, if you want to see it. The same goes for HDMI-3 and HDMI-4. You only have to set your TV to the appropriate Input. On your device (PC, Console, Bluray-Player etc.) you do not need to change the HDMI-Output (usually).

Because the position of HDMI1 is very difficult, it is very hard to insert and the line is crimped, and it is easy to break. So I want to connect to another HDMI interface, the other HDMI interface is easily plugged in

HDMI2 disconnected

ONLY EDP1 AUTO HDMI1

I am connected to HDMI2, but the output option of batocera is only HDMI1, how can I choose HDMI2 or HDMI3, etc.

Can you draw a picture on how you connected which hdmi from your batocera machine to your TV? Because i still don’t get it.

On your Screenshot i can see, that you are using Batocera.PLUS? That is a fork of Batocera and i can not help you on this, because i do not know, what exactly is different between those versions. Please ask for help on the Batocera Plus forum or discord chat.

does your PC, on which you have batocera running have several HDMI-outputs?

anyway… as i told you, you are using Batocera Plus and that is a fork of Batocera. Please ask the devs of Batocera Plus for help on this (i don’t know if they have a forum, but they have a discord chat, join it and ask for help there).

or use an official Batocera (not Plus) image from here: https://batocera.org/download and try again

I solved this problem and set the output to eDP1 in the kodi option, so that although it can only be watched on TV, it does not affect the use. In short, thank you very much for your patient answers.
