Disable HDMI-CEC?

Hello,

 

I am loving plex, it is a top notch piece of software. Unfortunately I have audio issues with my samsung tv like many other users so I dusted off my rasberry pi and installed rasplex.

 

 

I think the combination of my old onkyo receiver and my samsung tv are causing issues, when i play any video in rasplex the tv switches to the input 'HDMI-CEC XBMC' automagically which is a blank screen. I dont think I can disable HDMI-CEC on the samsung TV so it is possible in rasplex? I cant see any obvious option but maybe i can disable it in a config file somewhere? 

 

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to disable it on the tv.  Samsung calls it Anynet.  On my 2010 tv, its under:  Menu>Anynet>Setup.  I can also start with the tools button on the remote to get to the same place.

These are the two config.txt settings which apply to you:

hdmi_ignore_cec_init 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

hdmi_ignore_cec Pretends CEC is not supported at all by TV. No CEC functions will be supported.

 hdmi_ignore_cec=1

Just add the following lines to your config.txt file:

hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
hdmi_ignore_cec=1

Thanks both

I can confirm this does not work with my Raspberry Pi 2 and 0.5.1.  Can anyone else?  My Rasplex still detects CEC on bootup and the remote still works.
