HDMI CEC stopped working on Raspberry Pi 4

  • Hi, in the past 1-2 months HDMI CEC has stopped working on Libreelec on my Raspberry Pi 4. With the recent release of 11.0.5 I've done a clean install but the problem has persisted.

    I'll add the following information:
    - Clean install of LE 11.0.5 with no addons or media shares
    - TV is a Samsung UA43MU6100 with a black Samsung One Remote
    - Disabled HDMI CEC from the Xbox Series X and then disconnected the Xbox altogether, with no change
    - Did a hard reboot of the TV, no change
    - Disconnected and powered off the Pi4 and the TV for 20 minutes, no change

    I've uploaded a full debug log: https://paste.libreelec.tv/stunning-shark.log

    Below is output from the command line CEC utilities.

    Can anyone give me any suggestions to get it working again?

  • False alarm :)

    I forgot I had one other PC still attached by HDMI to the TV. After disconnecting that, the Libreelec on the Pi4 is again connecting to HDMI CEC. The other PC must have been taking the connection as a priority.
