Thanks chewitt, I did something like that.

I think I read somewhere it only has CEC through one port. So I've changed to the top one next to USB-C power and powered off. Gave it a wee bit of time powered back up, boot screen appeared (didn't previously) and once I reached desktop CEC fully functional again

So it seems to initialise the port, plug in, power off and restart.

All I did was turn it off so I could clear the dust off the fan and on powering up no CEC. Using the search for device on my Samsung tv finds no devices.

I found a little command to test the CEC:

cec-ctl --list-devices
vc4_hdmi (vc4-hdmi-0):
    /dev/cec0

vc4_hdmi (vc4-hdmi-1):
    /dev/cec1

Driver Info:
    Driver Name                : vc4_hdmi
    Adapter Name               : vc4-hdmi-0
    Capabilities               : 0x0000010e

A Physical Address of f.f.f.f and Logical Address Mask of 0x0000 seems wrong ?

Plugging my old Pi2 in and it's CEC still works.

I have a backup of 11.0.1 so can I just overwrite and hope that sorts it or do I need to rebuild 11.0.1, apply the backup to it and then update back to 11.0.3 ?

UPDATE:

No mention of CEC in dmesg output.

The Pi4 is not recognising the samsung remote as a CEC device but I can use the Yatse phone app to fully access it via wireless.

i'm NOT liking using a phone to control kodi and as stated the samsung remote works fine with a Pi2.

Just updated by selecting 10.0.3 under channel. Seems OK.

BUT ...... the firmware update refuses to update.

selected and rebooted twice to no avail.

Still offers update from the installed January edition.

On reboot a screen does indicate update available and then rapidly disappears.

Remind me what are the commands to update via the terminal ?
