Glad to help. I assume this will be fixed on next release, but ETA is unknown, so it should do some good for you guys.

On ya Jimmy.

I download and try on my r-pi 2 setup.

Allright.. Let us know, if that helped. I cant test it myself, as I am using 7.0.3 version.. But basically, if that commit really solve the issue, it should help.

Are you able to compile 8.0.1 with cec 4.0.3....don't know where to start from as never tryed...code is on github already fixed by opdenkamp Pulse-Eight/libcec

Its not 4.0.3, at least officially. I can do it only for Rpi2 platform, other would take me loooong time, and I dont have so big disk to store all cache for more platforms.
Here is Rpi2, for those who want to test it: LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1_fixed_cec_commit_3953f8d.tar (138.43MB)

Libreelec 7.0.3 doesnt use libcec 4.0.1 but 3.0.1....

I compiled 7.0.3 with libcec 4.0.1 by myself.

Agree with your point, and thanks for dig and pinpoint that

If LibreElec goes in a dimmed state (after 5 minutes of inactivity I guess), I have to wake it up with the Kodi network remote in order to use the TV remote again!

Hi,

can confirm that this is libcec related problem. I see exact same behauviour on Rpi2 + Panasonic TV and LE 7.0.3 with libcec 4.0.1.

But anyway, the misbehaviour with AVR on the way between Rpi2 - TV makes me stop using CEC on this setup. Now I using Lirc, IR remote + IR sensor on Rpi2 GPIO and couldnt be happier Finally everything works in every condition, every HDMI, doesnt matter if TV is powered off from TV source active, or Kodi source active. Doesnt matter on switching TV's HDMI input. Doesnt matter on screensaver or not. Highly recommended for those, whose fighting with more CEC devices on one bus and not-so-working libCEC menu in LE.

On simple setup Rpi2->TV libcec 3.0.1 works just fine.

I have to walk back my earlier comment about Estuary not lagging on a RPi. I upgraded another RPi system to LE 8 Krypton that I use more intensively. I noticed the slowness immediately especially when I use the Super favorites addon. So I tried an experiment. I did the unthinkable and loaded Confluence. It was immediately obvious how much faster Kodi Kroton runs with Confluence as the skin.
Yes, there are some features of Estuary I like but the painful slowness I cannot tolerate.

Its not unthinkable, its necessary

Creating two additional new threads with no additional useful information, just for getting attention?

If you want attention, you can get some.
I deleted both those threads, btw.

So, that means any delevoper cant reproduce the problem? When using fast forward on video? (h264 for example, assuming from video, posted on this thread).

Isee jemalloc depend build by peak3d · Pull Request #11620 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub closed, but it could be that it is another issue, or maybe closed to soon? I dont know, but I doubt those reports are just fictitious..

Quote from escalade

Klojum clearly doesn't have an RPi, because the GUI is laggy even on the RPi3. It's just slow. Almost any Intel IGD will have it beat as far as the GUI is concerned.

Can confirm same feelings (Its not extreme but enough to notice. - best description). Pretty cleam install, textures cached via texture tool. The skin also noticably higher Temp values on my Rpi2. I am not planning use that skin in any near future, when Confluence will be still at least a little supported. But hey, on the brighter side, its ugly anyway, and we have confluence here (yet)

I mentioned that already in past on some Kodi forum, along with my other complains on new default skin, but, we dont have the numbers unfortunatelly.

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

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

Cheers

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).

Damn, just bumping connman isnt enough

Edit: It doesnt help with generating zone index (%), but seems that infinite loop of solicit/request isnt there anymore Interesting.

Hello,

when I enable auto IPv6 on Rpi (router serves DHCP), it starts spamming every second router with IPv6 Request/Solicit. And IPv6 connection doesnt work. Pretty same as Enabling IPv6 leads to network Flooding · Issue #3746 · OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv · GitHub (solved by downgrade connman connman: downgrade to connman 1.23 · OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv@01bf648 · GitHub).

The suspicious is already ifconfig, the loopack address isnt standard ::1, but ::1%<generated number>, which generates every moment, ie. two iconfig commands in a row:

ifconfig
inet6 addr: ::1%1995482304/128 Scope:Host
ifconfig
inet6 addr: ::1%1996215488/128 Scope:Host

[hr]
Ah, solved in 8 branch... so I will leave it just as FYI, just in case some 7 user planning switch to IPv6

I made new version of the addon with bumped packages (php 5.6.30, httpd 2.4.25, mysql 5.7.17, phpMyAdmin 4.6.6). Anyone would like to test it (for which image)?

Update: I just upload zips v102 Next releases will be based on this.

Hello,

unfortunatelly, I bought new router to home, so I switched Mysql there (OpenWRT). So personally cant test stability But I will keep you precious files for the future, it could be that I will install more Rpi's to my parents for example, and then Mysql on Kodi will be needed. Or any other occassion

Thank you!

Btw., I still very strongly believe, that this should be part of Official LibreElec addons (separatelly, or in Network Tools)

According LE blog post discussion, yes - for some of installations, particulary people with Panasonic TV. I would save those files, just to have backup in case of affected installation.

Quote from vpeter

I pushed few addons here. Don't have time to test (feedback welcome).

Thank you! Assume this is against LE 8?

Hello vpeter,

I think the Kodi 17 stable will be out in a few months, will you plan also release Rpi2/3 release for Kodi 17? Still rock stable on my 7.0.3

P.S.: This really should be part of network/system tools @official LibreElec addons, for Kodi DB !!

The same problem spotted on LE 7.0.3.. On LE 7.0.2 it was fine... Other buttons seems to work (OK, arrows etc), but play/pause/stop dont. Panasonic TV, Rpi2

Apologies, non related to update, I just discovering Panasonic behauviour - I installed new LibreElec just yesterday. CEC needs to be somehow polished/configured as it act little tricky/strange.

In my opinion: Rpi 2
