Device: Raspberry pi 3b+
Distro: Xbian (Debian Buster)
Hey guys
I have a script that runs in the background to get the power status of my tv. The script has the following condition in an if sentence:
Code:
$(echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1 RPI) =~ "power status: on"Can anyone help me determined if that is the right behavior and if so, how do I reconnect cec?
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys
I have a script that runs in the background to get the power status of my tv. The script has the following condition in an if sentence:The abovementioned cec-client-command returns the anticipated result, but running the command makes Kodi "loose" the cec-control. In other words I cannot control Kodi with my remote anymore after the script is executed.Code:
$(echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1 RPI) =~ "power status: on"
Can anyone help me determined if that is the right behavior and if so, how do I reconnect cec?
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately this is not longer supported by the CEC library, only one application can access the CEC port
Some commands are available via Kodis built in commands but unfortunately the support is very little and one required command has been added (xbmc-send.py --action="cecStandby(force)") see /etc/init/xbmc-screensaver.conf
