CEC problem - RPi 2 - v7.95.3

Quote from VFR-NZ

CEC problem
I have a Raspberry Pi3 connected to a LG 42LM6200 TV thru HDMI.
On the last version of Libreelec with Kodi 16 the CEC function correctly
With latest version (8.0.0) CEC is very strange.
1. While watching broardcast TV the CEC will switch to the Pi by its self
2. While switched to the Pi but with no activity the screen saver tries to
operate but come straight back to life again as thought there is constant activity
happening somewhere maybe from the CEC

I have tried the fix above even using the two files from version 7.0.3
but no fix

Any help would be appreciated

Try System-Input-Peripherals (or something like that)-CEC. There are settings for wake/up etc related to CEC devices (TV/Rpi/Receiver) actions (switch chanell, power on/off).

That did the trick

Late response, but yes, the issues are persisting with the 8.0 release (at least for me). Sometimes CEC magically starts working immediately after using Kore to remote control Kodi, sometimes it takes a reboot, I haven't been able to spot a pattern there yet.

same here with RPi 1
I will try the hint from JimmySmith

Edit: I tried various setting but CEC is still not working reliable.
seems only solution at the moment is to use old firmware

updating to 8.0.1 keeps the old firmware or also the firmware will be new? Thanks

According popcornmix the bug should be fixed in firmware, distributed with 8.0.1

Thank you. What I don't know is if updating to 8.0.1 also the firmware is automatically updated or I have to update the firmware manually.
Thanks
