Hello,
I bought a Pulse Eight CEC adapter to start my AV-receiver and my TV together witch my HTPC (even when I’m not using Kodi).
First, I configured the adapter in Kodi. Kodi recognized it without problems and it worked great within Kodi. But when i closed Kodi and switched to Amazon Prime or Netflix in Google Chrome, the adapter was not working anymore as Kodi is closed. In order to solve this issue, I installed the libCEC tray program from Pulse Eight and configured it to start/suspend the AV-receiver and TV with the HTPC (and no more) and deactivated the adapter in Kodi settings completely.
Basically, it is working great…as long as I do not start Kodi. The AV-receiver and the TV are starting with the HTPC (by libCEC tray) but when Kodi starts it switches the AV-receiver and TV instandly off. From my point of view it’s weird because I switched off the adapter in Kodi and even tried to switch off every single task the adapter can do, but nothing changed. If libCEC is running and Kodi starts, the AV-receiver and the TV will be switched off.
My system:
Intel i5 4670k, Geforce GTX970, Kodi 17.1
Do you have an advice to solve this issue?
