Couldn't initialise the CEC adapter

Kodi
10

@anon88919003 I have done an clean install and connected it to my TV that was it.

I have tried the Nightly ones and Kodi goes into Safe Mode all the time

EDIT:

I just installed a clean version again and used different HDMI Cables and still the same issue

11

Try a clean install of the nightly please.

12

Sure will download the latest one now and let you know.

13

@anon88919003 I am running the latest nightly now for my N2 and here is the info - http://ix.io/1QoH

14

So any idea what’s causing this?

15

I can’t help but I get the same error message sometimes. I haven’t counted the exact number of times but it appears to happen about 1 in 3 reboots/power on. I can’t find a pattern as to what is causing it.
I did post a debug log in a previous thread a few days ago when it happened.

Log is here:-

I’ll point out that I’m using a custom Amlogic-ng build which is the same as “coreelec-9.2” branch but with one kodi patch inserted into the build - that patch is mentioned here in a PR I submitted to Kodi a few weeks back. This patch removes one line of code from VideoPlayer.cpp. Link here:- https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/16390

This patch should have no impact on the CEC initialization error.

16

To make matters worse this works 100% on my C2 and fails on my N2.

17

@ukmark62 need dmesg log not Kodi log, this is a kernel related issue.

18

Here’s the dmesg log when the pulse eight adapter fails to initialise, hope it helps:-

Here’s the dmesg log when the pulse eight adapter initialises correctly.

My situation is that this happens about 1 in 3 times when powering on.

19

@anon88919003 Is there a new nightly that we can try to see if this is fixed at all please.

20

@anon88919003 so any word what the problem is or a possible fix?

21

Hate to bang on about this but have you figured out what’s causing it? Do you need anymore logs?

22

I tried 9.0.3 on my U9-H and I could not re-produce the issue on 2 TV’s I tested.

I think your issue may differ to the people with the N2.

I don’t know how this issue can be related to us as you say nothing changed in your setup and it just stopped working one day so I think maybe your U9-H has gone faulty.

23

Seems to be fixed now. I rebooted to the android tv rom i have on it to see if it worked there and it did then when i booted back to coreelec it worked. Don’t know why i didnt try this earlier >.<

24

Very strange, glad to see it is working now.

25

My issue with my N2 on a clean build is still there :frowning:

26

Same here with a new N2 and CE 9.2. C2 was fine.

27

A95X F2 + TV Panasonic TX-65EX603E… same problem with initialise CEC , dmesg log is here http://ix.io/1WRT
Thank you for advice

I have just done a clean build of 9.2.0 and my N2 still does not work and CEC Fails.
