With xrandr I read HDMI-1 and -2 disconnected. Also DP1 and 2 are not connected. How can I force a connection with the HDMI cable and would that change anything?
I suggest that even if you were to figure out an xrandr command that would cause the TV to be recognized you would not be pleased with the lowfi result. Component video[2] is analog video with limited mode support. Instead, abandon attempts to use that cable and get a 2X1 HDMI switch[1] so that only normal HDMI connections can be used on every end and xrandr and xorg will recognize the TV automatically.
