CEC An Panasonic

All,

 

1,

I can use my Panasonic remote to logon, enter PIM and navigate, the lower buttons, Play, Pause, Stop,  do not work, turn TV off and back on the lower buttons now work?. this is consistent every time, not to much of a deal if the Pi2 is left on all the time, but still annoying.

 

 

2, When I plug the HDMI cable into the TV for my ACRyan Media player, the PI2 freezes, I reboot and locks again, turn TV off, unplug HDMI, power on and it works. any ideas,

 

Running latest Rasplex, tried 2 2 AMP powered supplies, swapped cables.

 

Thanks in Advance...

Have you looked at modifying the CEC service in Rasplex to match your setup, also worth checking what CEC controls you have set on the TV.

All, OK managed to get everything working. CEC now works as expected my adding:

# Force HDMI even if unplugged or powered off
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
# Doesn't sent initial active source message.
# Avoids bringing CEC (enabled TV) out of standby and channel switch
when
# rebooting.
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1

This cured the bottom play/pause buttons not working on first boot, they now work all the time.

Changing the settings on the TV fixed the Ras CEC controls stopping when turning TV off, Viera Link auto standby =off

So all I need now is support for Optical 5.1 which hopefully coming with -.6 and the hifiberry DAC+

Thanks for all you help guys, hopefully the above can help someone else.

Where did you add that configuration?  I have the same issue.

Galaxy,

I added it to the beginning of the config.txt file:

mount -o remount,rw /flash

nano /flash/config.txt
