HDMI CEC adapter keeps crashing Kodi back to home screen

Hi Guys,

I'm on the following build:

LibreELEC (community): devel-20180814210250-#0814-gcee9ce7 (Generic.x86_64)

I run it on a 7th gen Intel NUC (i5). The device does have cec support but very limited. So I've bought the following HDMI CEC adapter from pulse eight:Intel NUC HDMI-CEC Adapter - Pulse-Eight - Ultra HD Distribution and Control Products.

It's probly not in the device since I even ordered a new one, but problems are the same.

I've used it on Libreelec the last year or so without any problems. I updated a couple of weeks ago and since then the connection with the devices gets lost every 5 minutes or so. And once every 4/5 times it loses connection it really crashes kodi, screen turns black, en kodi home screen opens. Sometimes the device isn't recognized from the start. the See log attachment. If you more info let me know.

Can you try the latest alpha release 8.9.003 release and see if you still have issues.

As you are on development releases, things will always change.

Have you also updated the firmware of the USB-CEC adapter to v7 (if necessary)?

I had a small test with LE 8.90 and it all worked fine.

Klojum i'm not using the USB adapter but the adapter that you have to build in yourself. I did have a look at the firmware, thanks for that. It's on V8 now. Will try to update that too.

Oh okay, my bad.

Okay, here's an update. Updated Pulse Eight CEC adapter to latest firmware (v18) and updated LibreElec to latest Milhouse build (LibreELEC (Milhouse): devel-20180830211442-#0830-g9bcfef4 [Build #0830]) with Kodi v18 beta 2 inside.

Unfortunately problems are the same. I'm unsure where the problem is. Is it in Kodi, Libreelec, or in Pulse Eight firmware. Please see attachment for logfiles.
