[x86-64] CEC broke after updating to LE 12.2.0

  • ive been using this pulse eight adapter for ages, it has always worked. but stopped working in 12.2.0, installed old version again (12.0.2) and it started working again.

    dont know what info I can provide here, let me know. its a philips tv with android tv on it

  • Have you tried resetting the CEC settings to default? If in doubt, stop kodi and delete the CEC settings file (systemctl stop kodi; rm /storage/.kodi/userdata/peripheral_data/cec_CEC_Adapter.xml) and reboot.

    LE 12.2 ships with a newer libcec (latest version 7.1.1 instead of the ancient 4.0.7 in LE12) and some of your old settings may be incompatible or wrong.

    so long,

  • Hi, I have the exact same issue: tried a bit of everything with no luck.

    Mine is installed on a N4100 Intel minipc, worked fine for years and broke on upgrade

  • I updated firmware to version 12 (i was on 5) but still no go, deleted xml file again.
