(so on samsung it MUST appear always on changing sources - if all the devices with TV have proper CEC comm established. if Samusng wont display this - then it is bad and it means TV do not consider the inputs you are switching as properly working CEC devices).

The TV and Denon AVR was both off. Now, the TV turned on... (Rebooted by doing a sudo reboot while the TV was off). Good / bad ???? Bad in my opinion as a random reboot in the middle of the night will turn on the TV.

in between popcornmix is analysing RPI FW code.

But that means: that's just way it is when reconnecting to the HDMI2 port on the Samsung? I have to manually reconnect?

if hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 helps with that for your TV, use it. that setting is not affecting anything else.

just checked detailed specs of your denon and looks like we have winner. your denon is HDMI1.1 compatible. with HDMI1.1 CEC was only on paper and its implementation into products started only with HDMI1.3. also HDMI1.3a introduced real CEC "switches" and new rules about some CEC commands handling (incompatible with pre 1.3 standard).



CEC 1.3a specs documentation states at very beginning that pre-1.2 devices are 'obsolete', incompatible and it's use even as HDMI switches should be avoided. so you can buy a nice Yamaha, or connect RPI directly to TV and route audio to Denon via toslink.

last idea what I have:



if Denon allows to disable its CEC, try it - maybe it wont be breaking the CEC traffic anymore.

you are welcome. at least the "spotaneous" PA changes will be fixed (not related to your denon at all).

and what about HDMI spitter ? I have the feeling someone was solving similar case here and now those splitters are fine as the passthrough (to TV) is CEC aware and the part going to AVR has just audio one way routed ...

and it was like 15-20usd.
