TV switching to xbian input at turn off
Hi,

My Pi is powered from my TV and is booting when turning on the TV.. Thats fine..
but it's automatically switching over to the xbian/hdmi input everytime. So I have to wait until xbian is fully booted before chancing input sources otherwise it will change back to xbian.

looks just about right Smile
the thing is I was writing the steps by just digging the info from memories as I don't have access to my RPi at the moment Wink

RE: TV switching to xbian input at turn off
My LG TV always start on the last used input.. And thats the way I like it.

But my TV does not do that after plugging in my raspberry pi ! Sad

HDMI 1 - Xbian alpha 4
HDMI 2 - Sat box

Usually watch TV on my sat box.. so I prefer my tv starting on HDMI 2..

It does that but as soon as the pi gets power from the TV it switches to HDMI 1 ! If I then switch back to HDMI while pi is booting up, then I get switched back to HDMI 1 again ! as soon as the pi is fully loaded and XMBC is running..

I then disabled 'Make XBMC the active source when starting', now the pi does not switch back if I switch over to HDMI 2 while pi is loading.

But it still does the first switch when starting the boot progress. Sad plus CEC did not work after disabling 'Make XBMC the active source when starting'

Re: TV switching to xbian input at turn off
Plug your RPi to proper PSU (BTW, your TV USB port do only 500mA max and it is not appropriate for RPi) and leave it on.
BTW if you turning off your TV before you proper shut down XBian you can corrupt your SD card

RE: TV switching to xbian input at turn off
Just a little update here but you probably tried this before

you can try add this line into your /boot/config.txt located on your SD card

Code:
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1

How to avoid CEC auto switching to hdmi source on boot?
First of all, thank you very much for this fantastic build. i really love my RPi connected to my TV and to use it with xbian!

My RPi is connected to and powered by a Samsung TV via usb and hdmi. CEC is working perfectly, and everything is easily controlled by the tv remote.

But I do have one problem. When I power on the TV, then the RPi is also powered on. When the RPi gets power the TV automatically change the source to hdmi, and I can see the xbian booting. I switch back to TV and then after a minute or so the TV switches back to hdmi/xbian. This is quite frustrating.

Any ideas how to avoid the second switch to hdmi, and maybe also the first switch?

I already tried to put hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 into config.txt - no changes
Is there a chance to tell the xbian to not send a switch signal when booting?

Thanks
blueday

RE: TV switching to xbian input at turn off
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 stopped working for me a few updates ago (both xbian and openelec by the way) - so, I think the issue may be in RPi firmware

my tv switches to RPi as soon as it boots, so it's definitely not the 'Make XBMC the active source when starting' option (which I have switched off) that is the problem

again - same problem in OpenELEC

I got the exact same problem. Both turned off "Make XBMC the active source when starting" and put "hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1" into the config file.
The problem startet a couple of monthes ago, before that i had no problem with input switching.
I have the problem in both openelec,rasplex and xbian?
