Starting Libreelec on NUC from Bravia Sync (Sony menu)

Vaflor · April 1, 2018 at 2:32 PM

I upgraded from OpenElec version 6ish to Libreelec 8.2.4.

I've allways used the Bravia Sync button on my Sony tv to "turn on" my Intel Nuc - it worked flawless in Openlelec. It seems that does not work anymore in Libreelec.

I can start the NUC via Wake on Lan on my phone or use the App Kodi Remote. But it would be nice to get working.

Any suggestions where I could start fixing this problem?

Settings for your CEC devices can be found in:

System -> Settings -> System -> Input Devices -> Peripherals -> CEC adapter

CEC uses the remote.xml keymap, editing that XML file will allow you to customize most buttons.

Yeah, tried that not working.

Once booted CEC works fine (I use Pulse Eight) It's getting the darn NUC to wake up thats the problem. I dont suspend the NUC but power down.

It would seem there have been changes in the way the magic packet is recieved since it worked flawlessly in OpenElec :o)

Any other ideas?

There are other CEC threads here. You should do a search.

By the way, I have an older i5 NUC and use suspend. I control my entire system using a Harmony 650. One button turns on my TV, AVR & NUC

I have been searching threads that have similar problems :o)

I could try using suspend...

But are you sure the problem lies with the CEC and not some other place?

From your description, the only problem is with the POWER ON command via CEC, right ? Try using suspend and see if that works.

Wakeup works when suspending.

Gah cant figure out getting it to work with fully power down :o(

Any help is appreciated.

Just a guess since I only use suspend on both my NUC's. Maybe there's a NUC BIOS setting that would solve your issue.

You can get tech support for the NUC here: Forum: Intel® NUC |Intel Communities

Have tried to various settings in bios - with no result. The thing is: It worked in OE so it must be some kind of setting / cfg in LE that aint working maybe HDMI control or CEC.

I've given up for now and will use supend or just power on via wakeonlan tool / kodi remote app on iPhone.

I thought about buying a Logitech remote to control everything - but I'm going to wait a bit :o)

Thanks for the effort blueribb I appreciate it.

Why are you hesitant about using suspend full time ? It uses almost no power and there is zero heat generated. Wake-up is faster too.

Its my old receiver that's a little weird. Sometimes it can't detect the HDMI signal without the NUC being rebooted. So I have the habit of turning it off completely.
