HDMI switch ?

pi-yai

Some apps check the HDMI port to block the output to an external screen. However for the orange pi, there's no "internal screen", meaning that the app is then not working. Is it a way to make a virtual HDMI switch off in order to make these apps working ?

thats interesting. And which Apps do behave in such way? Can you name some?

Also I have such question to people who know:
  If there is no internal screen connected to internal port on Orange Pi-- then probably ORange Pi should somehow detect that there is no internal screen and output just perfectly signal to HDMI port?????

I have an android App provided by my internet supplier which allows to watch TV channels on small devices (in addition to the box linked to the TV...), but it blocks the output when you want to connect the device through HDMI. I think they do not want others persons to use TV screen for that app. I think it is not the only app to act so, because I have found some apps called "HDMI switch" or similar, especially designed to avoid the app detecting that you are using HDMI...
However these apps are not working with the orange pi. I think that they are designed especially for a specific hardware. That's why it would be great if such function would be available for orange pi !
I think that the orange pi 2 android is built on an existing android version used in some smart phones, but I do not know which ones...
