RasPlex always switches TV input

[apc105]

Hello,

 

I've been struggling to configure RasPlex 0.4.1 so that CEC will not switch sources to RasPlex when I turn on the TV. CEC is enabled but all features (including hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1) are set to not switch active sources when XBMC and OpenElec are booting (and indeed it does not). The problem is when I power cycle only the TV it initially switches on to the previously active source and after 1-2 seconds RasPlex switches the TV to it's own input; Raspberry Pi is always on and is not set to standby or shutdown at any time.

 

I noticed the following in libcec's changelog for 2.1.4 and would like to try using rasplex with the latest version of libcec to see if this helps with my issue:

https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/blob/release/ChangeLog

"only send an active source message when receiving a routing change to an address handled by libCEC. issue #56"

 

Is there a guide available on how to modify contents of the root filesystem for rasplex to upgrade the libcec files, and/or is there a beta/pre-release build available that has the latest libcec libraries already bundled? Of course if I've jumped to the wrong conclusion and there's a setting somehwere I haven't found please let me know!

 

Attaching the libcec debug output below for reference - the TV is a Sharp LC-37DS5

 

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

"only send an active source message when receiving a routing change to an address handled by libCEC. issue #56"

Is there a guide available on how to modify contents of the root filesystem for rasplex to upgrade the libcec files, and/or is there a beta/pre-release build available that has the latest libcec libraries already bundled? Of course if I've jumped to the wrong conclusion and there's a setting somehwere I haven't found please let me know!
