Libcec

[coreflake]

There is a new version of libcec out (2.1).
Is there a way to update libcec ? it should fix the issues with my remote (philips).
thanx !

Yes, instructions, SSH in and execute the following commands

Code:

sudo su
cd /home/xbian
git clone --depth 5 https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbmc-nightly.git xbmc-nightly
cd xbmc-nightly
rm -rf usr/local/share/xbmc usr/local/lib/xbmc
cp -R usr/* /usr
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cec-client
reboot

You can check the libcec version by executing

Code:

cec-client -i

Please let me know if it works now

kuch, waiting for the new package, kuch

[coreflake]

Well Cec is working. Powers on TV , etc...
but key presses are doing nothing.
arrows make the screen move up/down/left/right
any ideas ?

[kraleksandr]

It is all what limited CEC can do: arrow, Ok, play, pause, stop, FR, FF.
For me best solution is external IR-reciever ($1) and custom lirc config.

i mean it litterally makes the complete screen move up and down.
not the interface

@Tommiiee, it seems that more users have this problem (https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/issues/144 ).

- First make sure that you are on Frodo 12.1 (which also containts libcec 2.1.1) you can check this under System -> Settings -> System -> Input devices -> Peripherals (should say libcec 2.1.1). If not -> http://forum.xbian.org/thread-641-post-8122.html#pid8122

- If so, can you also comment that you have this problem? (maybe you can help by providing a log http://forum.xbian.org/announcement-8.html ).
