LE 11.0.4 power off (suspend) problem - 2 different NUCs

    I was previously using 11.0.3 on these 2 older NUCs. After updating to 11.0.4 today, both NUCs fail to power off (suspend) properly. The shut-down menu comes up instead of going into SUSPEND. I rolled back to 11.0.3 and they are both back to normal.

    I tried both 11.0.4 Generic and Generic-Legacy

    To shutdown instantly instead, create this /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml:

    Code

    Code
    <keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
            <power>shutdown</power>
        </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap>

    I have both NUCs set to use SUSPEND when the power button on my remote is pressed. Before I go to the trouble of creating that file, why would anyone be required to make that change? I don't see the point.

    I see. Post #2 should work for you. I'm using that XML on RPi.

    PS: Before you can try this: Change from "Suspend" to something else, reboot, and go back to "Suspend". Maybe it's just a config mismatch, and LE 11.0.4 now uses a different key for "Suspend".

    I will attempt to restate my problem.

    With 11.0.3 and all previous versions - when I pressed the remote control's power button (set to SUSPEND in LE as stated above), my Intel NUCs would enter the SUSPEND mode.

    With 11.0.4 - both NUCs display the "power menu" instead of entering SUSPEND when I press my remote's power button.

    Clearly, something was changed in 11.0.4 causing this issue. It can't just be me.

    Sometimes new config options change the "key values" of a setting menu. That's why I suggest the above.

    Another approach is to delete the cache: rm -rf /storage/.cache

    I reinstalled 11.0.4 and tried the suggestion in post #2 and it did not work.

    Pressing my remote's power button still brings up the power saving menu (shown below)

    - Power off system

    - Custom shutdown timer

    - Suspend

    - Reboot

    Without the file in post #2, when I pressed the power button on my remote, the power saving menu comes up with "Custom shutdown timer" selected. With the file installed, the same happens with "Power off system" selected. I don't want this menu to appear at all. It should just go directly to SUSPEND like it always did with previous LE versions.

    Any other suggestions?

    I had the same "problem" or better behavior.
    I solved it using the keymap editor to edit "Global -> System -> Shutdown" (I hope SHUTDOWN is the right translation for german AUSSCHALTEN).
    Now by pressing the PowerOff Button on my harmony-remote the NUC is powering off in the "old way".

    This change was made in LE12: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8161 and backported to LE11 in https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8180 before LE 11.0.4 was tagged/shipped.

    According to the patch/change, using "Shutdown()" as the mapped button command should restore the previous behaviour.

    Do I have to play with the Keymap Editor (ugh), or is there another (easier) way to fix this? Can I modify the file in post #2 to fix it?

    It is not difficult to use the keymap editor

    - Find Global - System - shutdown

    - press Edit and press button on remote

    Result here:

    a gen.xml in ..../userdata/keymaps

    Code
    <keymap><global><keyboard><key id="196">shutdown</key></keyboard></global></keymap>
