[PROBLEM] why xbian turn on my tv when it boots?

[mk01]

what I miss in the reports (I mean from the new faces I see there) if that unwanted TV on happens because of RPI fW (when you plug RPI on power) or because of XBMC being started (what happens 30-50s after power on).

if it happens at FW part,

Code:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1

is solution.

if it happens at XBMC, user should consider "make XBMC active on XBMC start" cec-setting. although some TV can work with that option being active and not turn ON - it is going against CEC specs. ActiveSource command is defined as command to make TV display required pic/video FROM exactcly specified device on CEC bus - what logically assumes the TV will go on if was OFF. otherwise the command has no mean.

so if case1(fw) use to two settings (to be put into /boot/config.txt). I don't actually remember anyone reporting it didn't fix the switching to ON. (there needs to be said that correctly programmed TV must not turn ON on HDMI replug event even WITHOUT those forced parameters. if it does, actual BUG is at TV, not the other end.

if we speak about case2(XBMC) - recheck the cec settings. if this is as I described before, then we can start with presenting the case. although currently the core CEC handling is considered as working as expected - there is numerous other factors and variables in effect - but problem should be traceable - DEBUG xbmc.log REQUIRED in that case - from very start of the log - wait until TV turns on + 20s then XBMC can be QUIT and XBMC log sent.
