As of last night, my Raspberry pi 2 running RasPlex 1.0.2 has started to take over my TV…
At random, if I am watching TV the TV input will change and it will switch to RasPlex, and it will even switch on, it set my dog off barking last night, it was on again this morning too!
The Pi2 came from the Pi Hut as a kit so I assume the power supply is the correct amperage for the Pi2, nothing on it has changed since the 1.0.2 release came out.
Any ideas?
It’s winding the mrs up at the moment.
Mine does exactly the same, just randomly switches the tv on (and winds the Mrs up!)
I believe it is something to do with the CEC connection but I’ve not figured how to stop it from happening. There is a wiki on the connections here
It’s probably a matter of editing the xml referred to in the wiki and un-associating the power on button.
That said, I could be way off and I’m sure someone with more understanding will be along shortly!

Have a look at your settings in Preferences->System->Input devices->Peripherals.
I have the following settings:
Everything else is unchecked.
I leave my RPi on 24/7 and don’t have any issues with these settings.

I’ll check all of these things, the strange thing is, I’ve been using the Pi 2 for RasPlex since Christmas and have never altered those settings!
Ghost in the machine perhaps…
‘Gremlins’, perhaps… :))
maybe gremlins. I’ll check those settings, failing that, I’ll reinstall 1.0.1 and see if it persists.
I’ll post back anything I find out.
Right. I think I’ve sorted it.
@NedtheNerd I tried your suggestion of checking the Preferences->System->Input devices->Peripherals, but all I have in there is the CEC item listed, which I assume is why my TV remote can control RasPlex.
@AprilNine related to the previous point and your point of it perhaps being down to CEC, I had changed nothing, so I replaced the batteries in the remote, in case they were failing and phantom button presses were going through, odd though as if that were the case, with the TV off nothing should get from the remote to the Pi!, It made no difference.
Then I remembered a change I had made to my router!
I had changed the region code, I had read that changing the routers WiFi region code could increase its’ range, so I changed it from UK to USA, everything was working fine across all WiFi devices, or so I thought. It seems that doing this caused the problem, I have changed it back to UK and it hasn’t happened since.
Any ideas why that would cause it?
It seems to be fixed now, so I have not had to wipe the SD card and reinstall, it’s all just working normally now.
@NedtheNerd & @AprilNine thanks for your input and help.

If you highlight the CEC item and press Enter/OK it will bring up a configuration screen with a number of options.

@NedtheNerd Thanks, I’ll have a look, it did start doing it again over he weekend, so I reinstalled v1.01 and so far it’s running without a hitch.
