I have problems with Kodi and my AVR. It runs fine until I connect my new RPi5.
The display on my AVR only shows Videocore now but it should say Kodi after I connected my new RPi5. Now when I reconnect my RPi4 it also says only Videocore. That means no navigation with TV remote.

CEC is enabled and Settings are alright. Audio Passthru is disabled.

On startup Kodi Nexus shows the CEC Pulse-Eight adapter connected to my AVR but still...

It's fair to say now that CEC Settings are not stored after reboot.

echo 'scan' | cec-client -s -d 1 shows this:

kodi doesn't use cec-client, it uses libcec https://kodi.wiki/view/CEC

the cec-client you are executing has nothing to do with kodi and is just a generic linux command line interface provided by libreelec https://www.unix.com/man-page/debian/1/cec-client
and does not use any saved settings from kodi to operate, nor does kodi use any saved settings from it

it is entirely possible since they are separate that kodi is blocking cec-client by using the same resources

you will likely find better support from the people who provide your system OS https://forum.libreelec.tv

OK. So far about my RPi4.

Now I also have a new RPi5. Tried the same command.

Looks to me there is no CEC Client.

My TV is in the Device List but not my AVR. I powered off and disconnected everything twice. It worked flawless for years.

If you can' t help me now then I will turn to LE Forum.

You can only have one application using cec at once. Stop kodi first with:
systemctl stop kodi

then try the cec-client command.

"error opening serial port 'this:': No such file"

i don't know where you are copying your commands from but adding "shows this:" to the end of your cec-client command is incorrect, check the link i posted for the correct CLI parameters

Oh I'm sorry. My mistake with copy & paste.

OK. I understand only 1 application. But it used to work for years without problem. It happened after changing the RPi4 to RPi5. Now both Pi are not recognized by the TV.

OK. I understand only 1 application. But it used to work for years without problem on my RPi3+B. And it worked on my RPi 4.

It happened after changing from the RPi4 to RPi5. Now both Pi(4+5) are not recognized by the TV.
