Hi

I run LibreELEC 9.0.1 on a Pi3, connected to my TV (Sony Bravia something) via HDMI.

I use CEC to control Kodi with my TV remote control. In general this works fine.

I'd like to stop playback when the TV is powered off, so I don't have to stop streams separately all the time. This however does not work. TV power off is not recognized. As I don't see any key names in the debug log which I could manually map, I suppose there is already something missing at some lower level.

I do see at least something in the log, when turning off the TV, so there actually seems to be some notification towards the Pi:

2019-04-11 13:41:54.956 T:1650942832 DEBUG: CecLogMessage - >> 0f:a0:08:00:46:00:09:00:01
2019-04-11 13:41:54.956 T:1650942832 DEBUG: CecLogMessage - >> TV (0) -> Broadcast (F): vendor command with id (A0)

But that's all. No mapping to button names or anything.

I'm not sure where something is missing here... Just some configuration issue in LibreELEC? In Kodi? Missing low level support in libCEC?

Thanks

Oh sorry, misunderstood, I'm using LE on a Raspberry Pi 3. So the Pi2/3 image.

I'm using the Apple wireless BT Keyboard+Trackpad combo, 1st generation.

I perfectly understand your point. On the other hand, this is not about exotic large scale SCSI tapedrives or programmable calculators, but about pretty common input devices. If a user wants to use his/her favorite input device with LE and first has to debug, write to the forum and then wait for the next release (in the best case, or give up somewhere on the way), that's not the best user experience

Besides devices that don't work at all, like the Apple trackpad, I'm thinking esp. about all those multimedia keyboards with special keys people might like to use. And if I look at my kernel modules hid folder, it's 1,6M in total. There might be some really obscure stuff which could still be left out, but there is also generic things like hid-logitech, -microsoft, -apple, -cherry etc. To me the cost seems bearable, if more user input devices then "just work".

Fun fact: on my first try to submit I got the error:

The message contains censored words: sci entific.

(had to add a space here)

I haven't compiled kernels anymore for years, but yes, sounds reasonable.

This probably applies to a lot of other modules as well. If I look at my Retropie I see quite a bunch of hid modules. Another Apple amongst them, needed to switch default between function and media keys. Might make sense to be more generous with input devices

It seems LibreElec is lacking support for Apple MagicTrackpad (the external bluetooth device, first generation; maybe also the current one). The bluetooth pairing of the device seems to work fine, but no /dev/input/mouse device is created. It seems LibreElec is lacking a hid module `hid-magicmouse`. On my Retropie I see:

/lib/modules/4.9.35+/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.ko

While on LibreElec there is no such module:

MediaPi:~ # find /lib/ -name "*magic*"
MediaPi:~ #

I guess it might just a matter of enabling this module in the kernel configuration...

This is with LibreElec 4.2
