edit:
Ive tried powering off the TV. Unplugged it for several minutes to give the cec adapter in telly a chance to reset.
I notice this error is happening: CEC transmission - received response - TRANSMIT_FAILED_ACK
Ran this command and have seen that the adapter is seen:
Code:
htpc@HTPC-1:~$ cec-client -l

edit 2:
so after a lot of playing around and multiple re-installs, I can conlcude that the issue is with the xorg driver for my amd r7 graphics card.
I say this because on a clean install with only xbmc installed and the xorg drivers enabled as default, there is no control via cec.
I change to a proprietry driver for the card and cec control starts working, but i have screen res issues with under / overscan.
I dont want to use these drivers for a numbere of reasons, primarily due to the issue of getting a black screen after WOL and having to do another fresh install as there is no access to grub. ive tried all the options, escape | shift | up | down. nothing
What's interesting is that after the most recent fresh install it did work as expected and I thought i jsut got lucky, so I set the cec to suspend when the tv gets turned off and to wake up when the tv is turned back on.
Tested it and it booted into a black screen again, but with the open source driver enabled.
Did a hard reset and started kodi only to find that cec wasn't working anywmore.
Somebody. Anybody.Please help.
Ask for any info you need to help me get to the bottom of this.
