Hi,
Was “forced” to upgrade to RasPlex 1.6.2 due to new version of PMS. Been running the old 0.7.0 (i think it was) for ages. We have now stumbled upon something i know i saw in old 0.5.0 (or similar) version as well:
All CEC commands work flawlessly after initial startup. In this case also the lower TV remote buttons for play, stop, pause. However, after cycling source on my TV (Panasonic) to settopbox (or whatever) and then returns to RasPlex the lower remote buttons arent working anymore. The other controls work fine but the “wife factor” or using the TV remote is taking a hit here 
I have tried the
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
and
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
in config.txt with no luck.
The lower buttons actually do return and function if i resync CEC on TV (Viera Tools, Viera Link, Player). But i do not want to press 5 buttons in order to be able to pause a movie (The navigation buttons still work and i can pause from them, but still).
Running RPi2 if it should matter…
Anyone got a clue on this one?
Suggest you try the steps in 2.7 TV is not detected unless powered on first from the Kodi Wiki
This is a well known issue with Panasonic TV’s with any software that utilises CEC, I swapped to Sony TV’s, now no problem.
Have you tried ‘reprogramming’ the bottom keys with the usual:
Press bottom Power button, keep it pressed, and press 7, 3, Stop. After releasing Power button, Play, Pause, etc should work.
Regards
@NedtheNerd But since the buttons work after initial startup the CEC commands are correct. And also the buttons worked in 0.7.0 version. By “bottom power button”, do you mean REC button? Dont have any power button amongst the lower ones (FW/BC, skip FW/BC, PLay, Pause, Stop, Rec)
In the progress of trying the EDID-tip by @Kwiboo. Just having a hard time SSHing the .dat file to the /flash partition…

You have to remount the /flash partition in read-write mode, mount -o remount,rw /flash, see How to edit the config.txt? on the LibreELEC wiki for some tips and tricks.

Took the hard road and just copied the file to windows and then just moved the SD card to the computer 
However the same issue still occurs; after changing HDMI source the lower buttons dont work…
