[RPi5] CEC no longer working on LibreELEC 12.0.2

  • Code
    info <general>: CDRMUtils::FindConnector - using connector: HDMI-A-2

    ^ this shows you are using the HDMI connector furthest from the power connector. Move HDMI to the port nearest the power port and CEC will work again. Support for CEC on both connectors has been intentionally removed due to problems seen when multiple HDMI connections are active. It is now only supported on HDMI-A-1.

  • I previously updated Libreelec on my RPi4 to 12.0.2. Since then, CEC no longer works via the TV remote control 😕

    The Pulse CEC starts and is shown as active in the settings, but the remote control remains without function.

    After downgrading to 12.0.1 everything works again. Noticeable:

    In 12.0.1 TWO (identical) CEC adapters are displayed under Settings --> System --> Input --> Peripherals.

    In 12.0.2 only ONE adapter is shown at this point. But Kodi cannot be controlled via the remote control.

    Same problem as above, use the other HDMI port (which will also give you the possibility to use 2160p60 on your RPi4).

    so long,

  • Using the other HDMI port did NOT solve the problem. There is still no CEC connection.

    But I recognized that using HDMI0 only delivers very poor resolution (768p). With the same HDMI wire the other HDMI port (HDMI-A-2) I get 4k resolution in my 4k TV.

    Does that suggest that the HDMI port is broken?
