rpi3/LibreELEC 8.0.0, Kodi not seen by samsung smart-tv when connected to the AVR

  • Currently I have a rpi2 with Kodi 16/LibreELEC 7.0.3 connected to my AV-Receiver. When i scan for devices on my Samsung TV it finds the Kodi. Everything works fine.

    Problems started when I attempted to switch to a rpi3 with Kodi 17. When connected to the AV-Receiver the scan does not see the Kodi device. First thing I did was comparing the configuration Xml with the Kodi 16 versions. They where (almost) the same, one setting changed its name.

    I remembered a HDMI CEC setting where I could configure that Kodi is connected to the AVR rather then the TV. This settings seems to be gone. I am out of ideas on how to fix this. Please advice.

    The current configuration is as follows:

    <settings>
    <setting id="activate_source" value="0" />
    <setting id="button_release_delay_ms" value="0" />
    <setting id="button_repeat_rate_ms" value="0" />
    <setting id="cec_hdmi_port" value="1" />
    <setting id="cec_standby_screensaver" value="0" />
    <setting id="cec_wake_screensaver" value="0" />
    <setting id="connected_device" value="36037" />
    <setting id="device_name" value="Kodi" />
    <setting id="device_type" value="1" />
    <setting id="double_tap_timeout_ms" value="300" />
    <setting id="enabled" value="1" />
    <setting id="pause_or_stop_playback_on_deactivate" value="36044" />
    <setting id="pause_playback_on_deactivate" value="0" />
    <setting id="physical_address" value="0" />
    <setting id="power_avr_on_as" value="1" />
    <setting id="send_inactive_source" value="0" />
    <setting id="standby_devices" value="231" />
    <setting id="standby_devices_advanced" value="" />
    <setting id="standby_pc_on_tv_standby" value="36028" />
    <setting id="standby_tv_on_pc_standby" value="0" />
    <setting id="tv_vendor" value="0" />
    <setting id="use_tv_menu_language" value="0" />
    <setting id="wake_devices" value="231" />
    <setting id="wake_devices_advanced" value="" />
    </settings>

  • I have noticed the same symptoms.

    However, my RPi3 with 8.0.0 worked for a few days after first upgrade (even though it kept changing name from Kodi to Recorder 3). Now it is not to be seen though.
