Strange CEC behavior when using ARC

  • Hello,

    I use the latest alpha 9 on my wetek play 2 and use a hdmi cable to connect the wetek play 2 with an up to date Sony TV. This is connected to a sound bar via hdmi ARC (audio return channel).

    I use my TV remote to control everything which usually works pretty good. However in 2 use cases I have issues:

    1) when I startup my TV (libreelec is still on), I need to wait for the soundbar to completely boot up to control libreelec. It shows me kodi for about 5-10 seconds before I get reaction to remote key presses...

    2) when kodi goes into screensaver mode my soundbar goes into auto standby after some time. Unfortunately I can no longer control kodi in this state until I restart my soundbar either via power button or switch to hdmi channel from the soundbar (to start it) and then back to kodi.

    My guess would be, that libreelec only reactions on feedback from the soundbar, when actually TV remote feedback would suffice. Is it possible to fix this somehow?

    Thanks,
