CEC no longer working to turn off TV #17

Closed satmandu closed 4 years ago

satmandu commented 4 years ago

I'm using kodi on ubuntu 20.04 (now updated to groovy) using the kodi-stable ppa.

I get this message in the kodi log when I try to manually preview. NOTICE: [screensaver.turnoff] Executing builtin 'CECStandby'

This used to work perfectly fine before. I've tried updating libcec to 5.0 but that didn't help.

Running echo 'standby 0.0.0.0' | cec-client -s -d 1 with kodi quit works just fine.

Any ideas on what to try next?

If the CECStandby built-in stopped working for you, that would be a regression in Kodi. You can run: kodi-send -a CECStandby on your Kodi system to trigger this yourself.

I would check upstream forums/issues and eventually report this upstream.

It does appear to be broken on my system with Matrix. I'll report it upstream.

Aha, this is related to Matrix? I assumed it was Leia because of the name kodi-stable :-) You may have the same problem as reported in #18

(Tried with Leia - didn't work, and then was told that there were no updates to Leia, so now trying with Matrix.)

I am the reporter for https://github.com/add-ons/screensaver.turnoff/issues/18 ;)

Turns out I am hitting a bug in the CEC config interface. I need to set the "Devices to Power off during shutdown" to include "TV" to make CECStandby work.
