XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - Stuart White - 7th Feb, 2014 07:11 AM

Hi guys, I'm by no means a newbie to linux but i guess i am to XBMC....

Have been running xbian for a couple of months now and CEC was working fine with my Samsung TV...

One day i turned on the TV and it just stopped working...

I have read about getting new cables but surely the cable won't just fail? (It's a fairly thick HQ HDMI cable)
It was working fine before... and none of my other HDMI cables fix the issue.

I have rebuilt xbian(formatted the SD and another SD) to no avail....

I can't seem to find much out there on how to configure it or debug it... I've never had to configure it before.... It just worked.

Any pointers would be great I'm getting lost in it and really need to focus on getting fun_plug and transmission on my DNS-320L

Thanks

the same here on the samsung tv you must roll back to the old cec and lib
Unfortunately, I do not know how The new CEC is a disaster for samsung tv and Phillips smart tv

Have you tried rolling back tom? Can you point me in the direction on where you got this information.

Thakns

no I hope that someone knows how to do it


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - Stuart White - 10th Feb, 2014 06:32 AM

Anyone know how to roll back to the previous cec package? Or at least where the package is hosted!??
Thanks

Have you tried using the CEC update in the staging directory?


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - Stuart White - 11th Feb, 2014 01:24 AM

Hi, thanks for the reply..

No I haven't. What is the staging dir?

I'm in the office now but SSH'd into the Pi


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - IriDium - 11th Feb, 2014 01:50 AM

I haven't tried it but it might solve the issue.
I assume your system is fully up to date.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list -> Add new line deb http://xbian.brantje.com staging main.
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo xbian-config -> 5 -> 3 Select xbian-package-cec (Should be the only one)
sudo reboot

See if that improves matters.


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - Stuart White - 11th Feb, 2014 02:00 AM

Thanks,

I already have a line in there but it is stable main not staging main... should i edit this line or add another?

deb http://xbian.brantje.com stable main

I will try that tonight as i have rolled back the cec package to 1.1-04 so will try that when im home first


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - IriDium - 11th Feb, 2014 02:05 AM

*********** DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE MOMENT ************
I've just upgraded it and Xbian failed to start. I need to figure out what the issue is.

As I said - Add a new line so it looks something like.

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
deb http://xbian.brantje.com stable main
deb http://xbian.brantje.com staging main


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - Stuart White - 11th Feb, 2014 02:14 AM

Ok, I'll hold off for now!


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - IriDium - 11th Feb, 2014 02:16 AM

Ok, looks like it was just my peculiar setting of the real time clock module. Removing it and all seems fine.


RE: XBMC Newbie and CEC Stopped working - Stuart White - 11th Feb, 2014 06:21 AM

Tried it to no avail. I'm pretty sure this is down to the latest libcec or cec package anyway.. If the following can be made sense of by anyone:
