OSMC HDMI-, addon- and IP problems

[Regalbauer]

Hey there,

at first...sorry for my english.
So. I have a couple of questions...
I downloaded the osmc OS for my raspberry pi 2 and installed it.

But I have a few problems with that OS.

At first, when I start the PI the osmc system is booting and than my tv switch to the hdmi-output 1...but the PI is connected to the hdmi-output 2 (it is the better output ) How can I change that...is it even possible to change that?

When I start a music-streaming-addon I've no sound...can't hear anything. The sound is adjusted about the hdmi-output.

All my video-streaming-addons refuses to stream a video or movie. Even the youtube-addon is not interested to search a video. It only says "bad request".

Openelec has a lot of unofficial addons for their OS. I can't find any of this unofficial addons in osmc. Where can I find these addons?

Where can I find my IP-address and my location? I'm using a openvpn connection and want to know if it works

Thanks in advance.

I don't understand any of that.

1. A RPi has ONE HDMI output

2. It is very rare for a TV to have ANY HDMI outputs. It is common for them to have more than one HDMI INPUT, but I have never heard of a TV which had a HDMI input that is better than other HDMI input(s).

3. If you mean the HDMI and composite video connections, you should use only HDMI and have that connected and the TV switched on board before booting the RPi.

1. Yes the Pi has only one HDMI output. Thats right.

2. I've a Samsung smart tv...I've an AV-receiver which is connected to the "ARC HDMI output" by the Smart TV. The Pi is connected to the AV-receiver. (I connected to the ARC output so I can use my Samsung remote to regulate the volumne). When I switch the Pi on the AV-receiver and TV also powered on and select the right HDMI output (2 - the ARC output). I installed Noobs with 2 OS's. 1. the OSMC and second the recalbox OS. So when I select the OSMC OS than the TV switch to the HDMI 1 port. When I start the recalbox OS it is ok and it keep the HDMI 2 port.

3. Sorry but I don't know what you mean
