Hello to all,
I have installed Libreelec 12.0 on my RPI 5 and it worked with CEC on first boot. Then it stopped working after I switch hdmi channel to use other devices. I have seen many users complain about similar issues and tried their solutions but the issue seems to persist on my end.
My LG C2 Software version is 13.30.56, webOS 8.3.0-2301.
I’m using a Canakit Micro-HDMI cable, It is not labeled as which HDMI version but CEC did work once or twice with it.
Things I tried:
1. Simplink is enabled on my LG TV from External Devices settings
2. If I turn off my LG C2 and RPI 5, then power on TV and the RPI after it CEC works until I switch to another HDMI input to use my other devices.
3. I have changed the config.txt file and added these parameters, and the issue is still there
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2
dtoverlay=cec
4. I tried to reboot my RPI and re-plug the HDMI it gets detected as HDMI PC, and as “Now TV by Sky TV” in universal control.
5. I tried to flash Libreelec again, but the same issue appears.
6. I tried to install OSMC, but I don’t think it supports RPI 5 since my device kept rebooting.
I have observed that it would work when it gets auto detected as “Flirc OTT” in universal control, but not manually.
I appreciate any help on this matter.
