LCD Display not being detected properly after RC5 update

I have a pi hooked to a Acer display via an HDMI-DVI cable.  Both versions after RC4 are having the same issue, the openelec boot image does not adjust to to the proper resolution anymore during boot.  Once booted the screen resolution 1680x1050p that would work on RC4 has my display say "image not supported".

 

Additionally, playback fails and the log files are attached.

 

I confirmed settings in config.txt are the same and the display settings in plex are the same.  This seems to me to an openelec issue since the boot menu also has the problem.

 

Has there been an update to the openelec version in RC5?  The changelog says minor bug fixes, does anyone know if any were around the display?

 

I am currently running on 4.1 with the same issue.

 

Cheers

Regarding this issue, some further info:
If your Pi doesn't detect a compatible HDMI output device it falls back to composite output and you’ll just see a black screen once you turn on your TV or monitor.
To solve this edit the config.txt file and add the following at the end of the file to make sure your Pi boots in the right resolution:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16
and save your changes.
This will start your Pi in 1080P at 60Hz (and CEA mode). If your TV or monitor doesn’t support this resolution or mode pick a supported resolution from this webpage:
http://elinux.org/RPiconfig
From now on your Pi should always boot using HDMI and your preferred resolution.
