8.95.5 CEC not working

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

Disabling in the menu isn’t actually disabling it?

Just found this from googling, apparently that commend line made no difference and no one offered any other suggestions.

No it’s not. The issue happens in uboot.
Try it first. If it doesn’t help then there is nothing we can do.
We don’t touch the uboot of every generic S905/12 box.

Where do you run the command line? SSH?

EDIT: Looks like I fixed it by turning off CEC in android.

Thanks for your help.

From ssh. Android does the same.

I also had issues with CEC after updating to 8.95.5 (S912 box), but under the CEC settings a “Restore to default” -> Reboot -> setting again the desired values fixed the issue.

I have the same issue, here is the pastebin : http://ix.io/1uRs and http://ix.io/1uRv
Downgrade to 8.95.4.3 doesn’t work too.
Thank you !

Did you try this?

Not yet, I’ll try it

Hi.

I had the same issue. This happens due to a problem in uboot of these Amlogic boxes. The only clean way to solve it was to put an HDMI adapter without the pin 13:

[LINDY 41232 - Adapter HDMI](LINDY 41232 - Adaptador HDMI macho a hembra, negro https://www.amazon.es/dp/B00DL48KVI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_I96aCbY48NQKY)

Now, it’s solved! Now, neither the TV nor the AV get completely crazy when the S912 box is on or even in Preformatted textstandby, although I have lost the CEC control on it from the TV remote control: volume and other interesting keys. Then, I had to buy a Bluetooth keyboard for it.

I hope it helps.

There is an easier solution. Create a Autostart.sh and echo cec3f to the cec sysfs (which will activate CEC) then create a shutdown.sh and echo cec0 to cec sysfs (which will disable cec).
This was uboot will always think CEC is off and not poll but kodi will have cec control.

Ray, can you point us to the right path of cec sysfs? I couldn’t find anything named or seemingly related to cec in /sys/*

/sys/class/aocec/fun_cfg

Thanks!

Currently it contains 0x3f and not cec3f, so I think I should echo this and 0x0 and not cec3f and cec0?

0x3f is correct

So the correct procedure is :

  • nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh
  • Inside the script : echo 0x3f > /sys/class/aocec/fun_cfg
  • nano /storage/.config/shutdown.sh
  • Inside the script : echo 0x0 > /sys/class/aocec/fun_cfg
    I’m right ?
    Thank you.

I tried it but it doesn’t work…

@NicCo are you still on 8.95.5?

No I’m on 8.95.7 but it was not working with 8.95.6 too, it worked only 1 or 2 day after 8.95.5 to 8.95.6 if I remember correctly then nothing.
