CecLogMessage - Open - vc_cec could not be initialised

Greetings. I run a headless raspberry pi in a country far far away. All was well until a few days ago when recordings stopped working. When pointing a browser at port 9981, I time out before getting anywhere. ssh to the pi and the log is chocker full of -
06:38:20 1174.191162 T:1858073504 ERROR: CecLogMessage - Open - vc_cec could not be initialised
06:38:20 1174.191162 T:1858073504 ERROR: CecLogMessage - could not open a connection (try 4)
06:38:21 1175.191772 T:1858073504 ERROR: CecLogMessage - RegisterLogicalAddress - vc_cec_set_logical_ad$

I have run a pastebinit on the log which is available at -
eJUc

However I am pretty much a non-tech on these things so I'm not sure how to find my way around this log. Is anyone able to help at all?

Cheers

I have also these messages in the log.
My Raspberry has the WittyPi extension board, so he will wakeup at the set wakeuptime and tvheadend can recording.
For example some TV programme over the night, then my TV/AVR is off. So the log is spammed with these messages.
Probably in the near future it will kill my sdcard.

Got it probably. In /flash/config.txt set:

Code

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Need more testing, but logspam is gone.
