Hi

My Pi3's CEC used to work with my old Sony TV.

Now with my new Vizio P50-C1, Pi3's CEC just does not work at all.

The Pi3 is plugged directly into one of TV's HDMI port (HDMI-2).

The Vizio TV sees my SoundBar (HDMI-1) and the ChromeCast Ultra (HDMI-3) on CEC, but not the Pi3. On the Pi3, use cec-client to scan would find nothing, no TV, no AVR, nothing. Everything else (video, music, etc.) works flawlessly but just no CEC.

Uh, CEC (or Arc) are only on 1 HDMI port on the Vizio TV's (at least they are on the 3 different ones I have). Mine are all on HDIM-1, and I have a P60, E65, and E60.

But the TV's CEC has no problem finding the chromecast-ultra on hdmi-3. the TV remote can control the CC on hdmi-3 just fine.

If you put the Chromecast on HDMI 2 and the Pi on HDMI 3 what happens?

TV detected CC-U on hdmi-2 and no Pi.

Have you tried a different HDMI cable on the Pi?

First I used the same cable that was used (successfully) with the old Sony TV. Then I bought a Certified HDMI cable. Neither work. cec-client from the Pi3 found nothing (other than the Pulse-Eight on the Pi3) on CEC bus:

Code:
$ echo scan | cec-client -s

The other thing to check is CEC is enabled on the Pi.

In Krypton go to settings > system settings > input >peripherals , select the CEC adapter and review its settings.

If that fails the other thing to try is to shutdown everything (TV, Pi and anything else connected), pull out power plugs and then start everything up from cold. I had a Pi 2 which lost CEC completely and doing that restored it

Is there an order should I follow to power the devices back? TV -> soundbar -> CCU -> Pi3 ?

**DarrenHill** · 2017-02-11, 18:44

Sounds reasonable to me for the full setup.

I just had TV and Pi so it was much simpler. Maybe leave the bar and Chromecast out initially and see if you can just get the Pi some going via CEC and then add them back in if it works.

Yep - definitely start with just a TV and Pi 3 - and power TV on first, then the Pi 3.

Also - when talking about 'powering off and on' TVs - when diagnosing CEC and other HDMI issues - this means a full power cycle (i.e. unplug/extermally switch off from the mains power) not just turning off and back on from the remote control.
