(FIXED) CEC not working after RPi crash
HDMI-CEC has been working perfectly for months for me. Up until yesterday. I was watching a movie I had to pause cause I had a visitor.
After about 30-45 minutes I wanted to resume the movie, but XBian wasn't responding to either my CEC-remote or Yatse remote control for Android.

After I SSH'ed in and "sudo reboot"-ed, I found out I couldn't use HDMI-CEC anymore.
Is there any way to backtrack what went wrong here?

XBMC.log is http://pastebin.com/dtg2mwk9 here

not sure, it might be just and coincident that part of your HW failure(HDMI Ports or cable) or anything else.
Have you tried run cec-config command to check if you can get it working ?(not available anymore, sorry my bad)
Also if you have another SD card try a fresh image and see if the CEC working or no.
Other than these, no idea pal

RE: CEC not working after RPi crash
@Smultie

I can just confirm it happened to me as well once. As Rikardo proposed, cec-config could be the way, but unfortunately cec-config is no longer part of CEC package with newer releases (it has been removed from upstream repository, not by Xbian team).

it that case, I was able to restore it by stopping XBMC, removing /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/peripheral_data/rpi_2708_1001.xml and starting XBMC again. hope this helps.

oh, sorry for my miss leading info here, my apology .. as you know I have been lock in hospital for almost 2 months so I do not have the access to RPi Sad so basically I do most of the responses just from my memory and without ability to try myself

- or also you may edit this file if you know how to do (some basics about values for libCEC on Pulse-eight FAQs)

I'm afraid rpi_2708_1001.xml doesn't come back after restarting XBMC. Reboot didn't help either!

RE: CEC not working after RPi crash
did you make a backup of the file or did you look into it and can tell what was the settings ?

RE: CEC not working after RPi crash
Not really no. I do have a backup and it looked different from what it was yesterday.
After fiddling a bit with cables and devices connected to the TV it now works again ><

RE: CEC not working after RPi crash
Not really sure if it was that, though.
Just turned the TV on, CEC not working.

As soon as I turn the cable-box on, CEC works again on the Pi.
Yesterday there was a big firmware upgrade for my cable-provider (UPC). Could it be that a firmware update from my cable-box changed CEC and somehow broke it?
Can I change anything to make CEC work on my Pi again even when the cable-box is off?

RE: CEC not working after RPi crash
i have red somewhere about similar issue where other device interfere somehow, but cant remember where did I see it. My best guess would be to go to libCEC forum and give it a search or ask there.

You may try swap the HDMI devices on inputs(like move RPi from HDMI1 to HDMI2) on your TV/AVR. But this is just a blind shot Wink

RE: CEC not working after RPi crash
Well, this is now officially driving me crazy. Rikardo, I know you got a Panasonic as well. Could you show me your Raspberry Pi and Panasonic settings related to HDMI-CEC?

believe me, I wish I could http://forum.xbian.org/thread-1045-post-13347.html#pid13347 but I have no access to my RPi neither TV. And I have a good memory but this is a bit to much to dig out Smile
Sorry m8 I cant help better this time, but as soon as I get home I may look into it. Only thing is that its not gonna be any soon and Im afraid you may just find the answers by than elsewhere

RE: CEC not working after RPi crash
Damn, terribly sorry to read that. I didn't know...
I'm not really sure in what stage you are, so I don't know 'get well soon' is an appropriate thing to say, but I truly hope you're in as good a shape as possible.
