XBian 20190215-0 - CEC Keeps turning on TV

anselal commented 5 years ago

Hi there,

I am running the latest XBian 20190215-0 and on this update, my TV keeps turning on although the CEC option to turn on the TV is off.

Is there perhaps an error with some library?

@anselal There was an issue with the screensaver handling, you have to update xbian-package-xbmc-scripts to version 1.7.11

anselal commented 5 years ago

xbian-package-xbmc-scripts is already in version 1.7.11. and there are not other updates available on my install.

Is there anything else I can do ? My temporary solution is to unplug the HDMI cable when I am not using xbian. Shutting it down is no option since I also run flexget on my RPi

anselal commented 5 years ago

I disabled the screensaver and the problem was fixed but I think this is just a workaround.

mkreisl commented 5 years ago

@anselal Please tell me more about your system

Do you usually turn off TV manually?
Is Kodi active source or do you switch to another source?
Have you Kodi configured that screensaver should turnoff TV when activated? (in CEC settings)
Is SCREENOFF=yes in file /etc/default/xbmc
Which Kodi version are you running
Please post file /var/log/upstart/xbmc-screensaver.log

anselal commented 5 years ago

Yes, I switch the TV manually off
When the TV was turning on Kodi was active source
This setting was turned on, I just turned it off
There is no such option in my * /etc/default/xbmc
My version is 18.1
the log file had just this inside xbmc-screensaver stop/pre-start, process 4914

Thanks for answering my questions.

So, external script /etc/init/xbmc.screensaver.conf is not involved (there was an issue in this script) Does the TV still powering on after turning off the CEC setting?

I suppose that something running in the background (flexget) triggers screensaver to turn off, and then Kodi is powering on TV

Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce this issue. After powering off TV, my TV remains powered off forever

anselal commented 5 years ago

As mentioned earlier, disabling the screensaver did the job so I couldn't tell if turning off the CEC setting for the screensaver did something.

I guess we can close the issue.

Thnx for your time !!!

Hi, just fyi, i have the same problem. Also i did disable the screensaver, that solved the problem.

mkreisl commented 5 years ago

@florian-asche Please post your file /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/peripheral_data/rpi_2708_1001.xml and /etc/default/xbmc

Are you doing the same? You turn off your TV manually and after some time TV gets powered on, right?

Hi, i did clean up the kodi directory some days ago. Restored from old system. Here are the results:

@florian-asche Thanks for posting /etc/default/xbmc Unfortunately the more important file is missing. On my system, the file is named rpi_2708_1001.xml, but on a fresh install, it seems to be rpi_2708_1001_CEC_Adapter.xml. I do not know which logic is behind this naming scheme. Anyway, please post this file, this file holds the CEC settings

@florian-asche

setting id="cec_wake_screensaver" value="1" /

This is the setting which is responsible for turning on TV when screensaver stops. I can't tell you why screensaver stops (maybe installed addon is culprit, or any events are displayed via toast-message or access via JSON or web interface).

Anyway, setting this to value=0 will stop powering TV on after screensaver goes inactive. You can change this setting in Kodi->Settings->System->Input->Peripherals->CEC Adapter or edit file manually after stopping Kodi
