[Solved] Samsung TV HDMI no connection on Hyprland

I have a dual graphics laptop (NVIDIA/AMD) that I want to connect to my Samsung Smart TV via HDMI, but whenever I do, the TV does not recognize the connection. The laptop seems to think there's another monitor (I can move my mouse where I expect the monitor to be, and move windows there). I can still connect my laptop to other monitors, but multiple Samsung Smart TVs have refused to connect.

I think it might be an issue with HDCP, but I don't have a clue on how to resolve it even if this is the case. I'd appreciate anyone's input.

Re: [Solved] Samsung TV HDMI no connection on Hyprland

the TV does not recognize the connection

What exactly does that mean? Does it not allow yo to switch the input to HDMI?

Can you use the Tv w/ an X11/openbox session?

Also

for OUT in /sys/class/drm/card*; do echo $OUT; edid-decode $OUT/edid; echo "================="; done

Re: [Solved] Samsung TV HDMI no connection on Hyprland

I hadn't touched my laptop basically since starting this thread, but just booted it back up planning on following some of these steps and as soon as I plugged it into the TV it worked fine. I'm wondering if some update fixed the issue.

Either way it's been resolved so I'll mark the thread as such.
