CEC Settings Pulse Eight Adapter Philips 6007K

  • Hello!

    I have an issue with my Libreelec 12.0 LE, Pulse Eight Adapter and my TV + AVR.

    If I move a certain rhythm with the tv remote control via cec in one direction, it goes forwards instead of 1 2, when it should just go 1.
    I assumed that the repeat time might be responsible for this.

    Therefore, I tried to set the repeat time for my PULS 8 CEC adapter to Gui max under peripheral_data.
    Since the problem still persisted, I tried to change this under peripheral_data via SSH. Unfortunately, libreelec seems to ignore these changes.

    I know I use a Bluethooth remote control and the problem is solved.
    But why does changing the xml file under peripheral_data do nothing?
    Any other solution Ideas?

  • There are 2 different settings which are related to your case:

    • Remote button press repeat rate (ms)
      At this interval, the button is automatically repeated as soon as you press the
      for longer than the following setting
    • Remote button press delay before repeating (ms)

    So play a bit with the second setting first. For my TV this combination works better than the default values:

    • Remote button press repeat rate (ms): 100ms
    • Remote button press delay before repeating (ms): 200

    Regarding the xml file, please install a recent nightly build of LE12. There was an attempt to support CEC at both HDMI ports of the RPi4/5 at the same time. But this had some culprits and was reverted after release of 12.0.1. This patch wasn't restricted to the RPis.
    In addition, KODI must be stopped before changing such settings files via CLI, otherwise the values may be overwritten by the running process.

  • Thank you for your info that helps me a little bit to where to start looking.

    Additional thing so far I noticed:
    chown root:root usb_2548_1002_CEC_Adapter.xml
    chmod 444 usb_2548_1002_CEC_Adapter.xml
    does not work against a reboot. I have no idea why but the file is resetted every time after a reboot.

    I will try upgrading system first.
