8.95.5 CEC not working

CEC no working on latest 8.95.5 it was perfect for previous releases, I am getting a continued message pulse-eight CEC adapter and I can not get it to work.

Same here. After booting I can press a direction key on my remote and the cursor reacts (with delay but it’s working). After a few seconds it doesn’t work anymore. But I get no error message.
A few months ago when I started with TV box and CoreELEC I could control the TV box with my AV receiver remote. It was working great (as far as I remember). But I mean that with the last releases of CoreELEC controlling the TV box with the AV Receiver remote control went more and more bad. I had timing delay and the cursor jumped two or three times though I pressed only once.
When I use my wireless keyboard controling the TV box works still fine.

dmesg|grep -i cec|pastebinit

Sorry, if I am coming late to the party, but what is the purpose of the CEC? I get notification that it’s connected every time I turn on my box, but I don’t know what it does.

Have a look here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Electronics_Control

Also it would be interesting to know what device you are using.
And I’d like to see u-boot environment variables:

fw_printenv

Same annoyng messages about CEC since the 8.95.5 update on 2 different tv (LG and Panasonic Viera). Please correct CEC

We can’t correct it when you don’t provide any useful information.
What box are you using and logs, and the extra information that Ray asked for.

Hi,

I’m also experiencing issues with CEC on 8.95.5 (Odroid C2).

Usually the Odroid turns on, when the TV is turned on with the TV remote, but not anymore. TV turns on, but Odroid remains off. Only unplug/replug power will turn it on. TV remote pass through works fine once booted into Kodi.

Downgrading to 8.95.4.3 makes the power on via CEC work again.

I can confirm this. Thanks for reporting I’ll look into it.

Your reply is annoying. I will not correct this. The CEC message is very important and it was patched out for whatever reason.

Further comments without logs will be ignored.

Mamma mia!
Thanks anyway
:slight_smile:

CEC wakeup for Odroid C2 is fixed. It should appear in the next nightly. At least it’s working on my LG OLED. If there are still problems just let me know.

Hi Ray
I have the TV box X96 (S905X, 2GB, 16GB). My AV receiver is Yamaha RX-S600.

I have now made a fresh install back to 8.95.3. It was my hope that here CEC is working. But even with 8.95.3 my cursor doesn’t work as aspected when I press a button on my remote.

So with 8.95.3 when I put in “dmesg|grep -i cec|pastebinit” I get this

Your box doesn’t have a cec value set. This is quite common for generic S905 boxes. It should fix it with:

fw_setenv cecconfig cec3f
reboot

I have a S912 mecool bb2 pro box. CEC had been working perfectly along all previous builds released till this last one.

No log no help. Have you even considered what is written by me one post before yours?

CEC on my setup completely hijacks my AVR and does not allow any other devices to use ARC.

with CEC disabled ARC works for other devices but only if the coreELEC box (KM8 Pro) is powered on.

Makes no sense to me.

It makes sense to me. Especially as this is a know problem for almost 3 years now.

I see.

Been using an Intel NUC for the last 3 years which was flawless for 1080p content.

I guess this box will need to stay on so I can use ARC.

Or you disable cec completely.

fw_setenv cecconfig cec0
