Hey, guys. I bought a CEC-adapter yesterday and plugged it in just now. However Peripherals under Input Devices is greyed out even after I rebooted my PC. What do I have to do to be able to enter the Peripherals settings?

Try the confluence skin. If you can access the peripherals menu, then it's a skin issue and you will need to address this with the skin author. Also, make sure you've installed Pulse-Eight's CEC-Adapter drivers if it's their adapter your using. I'd also recommend updating the firmware to the latest version.
If it's working, XBMC/Kodi will pop up a message at startup saying something along the lines of; "Pulse-Eight CEC-Adapter Detected". If your not seeing this message the drivers aren't installed and so XBMC/Kodi won't detect it. You don't need the tray app running, as XBMC/Kodi provides the functionality there from the peripherals menu.

Damn. After everything working great for almost two weeks it just stopped yesterday. I can see it in the Periphirals settings, but it can't find my TV. Any tips out there?

You plugged in some extra hdmi device? R-pi is know to break CEC when not powered

As far as I know nothing has changed.(2015-01-11, 17:31)Tobby Wrote: Damn. After everything working great for almost two weeks it just stopped yesterday.

Not even when I start the TV manually does Kodi say that it's connected to it. However after a while I get a mesage sayig that it "lost connection".

Oh, I remembered that the Trakt addon has stopped being able to log in at approximately the same time. Perhaps there's a common reason?
