if you put 2xxx where ? information in cec peripheral setting (hdmi port / PA) in xbmc should be updated correctly by xbmc/cec (normally it should be maintenance free for user). don't use it as primary option to handle/resolve cec/hdmi issues.

the config.txt parameters I repeated, yes. just to be sure. do this:
1) update config.txt accordingly
2) remove /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/peripheral_data/*
3) HDMI cable from Denon put to HDMI2 on TV
4) reboot RPI

on reboot and with the already mentioned settings RPI/Cec with get PA on reboot (so the correct), will report that to XBMC and no other HDMI plug/unplug events will be generated (so PA won't be messed). CEC should work normally - so should become AS if set so (no need to select from TV again and again), should not be turning tv ON immediately after you put OFF, in log there must not be any PA change... just the first one during CEC start going from ffff to XXXX.

then we can look into the audio playing workflow.

Hi
Did all the steps. It seems to work - do you want logs? At least working for the audio! Fantastic. But let's not jump to conclusions. I'll "stress" test it for at couple of days

Furthermore by 2XXX I mean as the PA in the CEC settings in XBMC. That kinda messed it up good But not going down that path again.

Now, just one last thing remaining (which I might be able to live with, give and take): When I switch from RPi (XBMC) to normal TV it works OK, but going back again does not work perfectly. I have to open the "Tools" menu on the Samsung and select XBMC to be able to control XBMC through the HDMI-CEC (Anynet+ as Samsung calls it). Is this be design in the TV or is it in XBMC/RPi? I do have the "Make XBMC the active source when starting" enabld in the CEC settings on XBMC... Everything else is disabled/none/ignore.

Thanks again for the advice thus far!!!!! Hope it's possible to fix the last thing?
