Deactivate Power Off button on Remote

[piravienthjagdish]

Hi guys,

I have a problem. I connected my PI with my Loewe TV and Kodi works with the remote of my TV via HDMI CEC very well.

But everytime when I press the power off button, the Pi will shutdown and not the TV. Then I have the struggle to turn on the PI manually and that’s what I don’t want.

If I press the power button I want to have the TV will shutdown and not the Pi or just deactivate the power off button for HDMI-CEC.

I found some solutions via Keymap Editor but I don’t know how to do it correctly.

I would be happy if anybody of you can help me.

Thanks,
Yours sincerely
Braveen

Check out the CEC settings:

Settings > System > Input > Peripherals > CEC Adapter

The ‘When TV is switched off’ setting is what you are looking for.

I have not heard of a TV remote forwarding a power button via CEC but to get a better understanding of exactly what is going on please reboot the RPi, then when it boots back up go to settings>system>logging> and enable the “enable debug logging” option. Now press the power button and if it shuts down the RPi and not the TV like your saying pull the power cord and then plug it back in. Once it boots back up open the My OSMC add-on and upload logs. After a delay it should return a url that you will need to post in this thread.

It’s even ok, if I can deactivate the power off button. So it’s not necessary when I press the power off button the TV should be off.

[darwindesign]

In order to help you change the behavior your seeing we need to know exactly what is being received from the TV and what Kodi is doing with that input. If you can provide logs using the method I outlined above then this should not be too hard of an issue to solve.

I have log on this link: https://streamable.com/dfvl7i
I hope you can open it. It’s a video log and I uploaded on a trusted video upload hoster.

I’m extremly sorry for sending the video. This was the quickest way. Anyways, I tried to catch the same error with PuTTY but I couldn’t. This is the log before I turned off:

Now I get this when I turn off the Pi with my TV remote but the video had some content with CEC and this has nothing about it. I can write out you the error text from the video.

Why can’t you just type grab-logs -A and provide the resulting link?

Thank you guys for your help. Right now I found a conversation and the solution helped me from this struggle.

TV remote shuts down PI

I have a Pi B+ (BCM2708 Rev 0010) running OSMC 2015.11-2 that has worked flawlessly with my Toshiba TV (including previous OSMC releases). I’ve had to move the Pi to another room and connect to a different TV, a ‘Logik L24FED12A’. The remote didn’t work at first, I had to enable CEC in the TV’s menus but it now works fine with one exception; pressing the standby button on the remote shuts down the PI (when I say ‘shuts down’ it may be that the PI is hibernating/on standby/sleeping or whatever b…

That is because debug logging was not on. I was quite specific on my instructions on how to generate useful logs for this issue.

Exactly what keymap worked for your setup?

FYI if you open the keymap editor add-on it will destroy the custom keymap you made. It is probably best to remove it so you don’t accidentally mess up your patch.

[piravienthjagdish]

Hi,
thank you for the information. Yesterday I felt your information because I installed the Keymap Editor again to have a button for changing the video stream (Full Screen Video → Settings → Video Settings → Set Video Stream ‘the first option’) (it’s for the YT addon to change the resolution). I had the button for the resolution change but when I pressed the power off button the PI turned off and the remote.xml was useless.

My question is:
How can I set the button for changing Video Stream in the remote.xml? I have a Loewe TV and my remote is in the attachment. I used the PIP button for the changing resolution. It’s ok, when I have to choose another button.

Thank you for your help before and sorry if I confuse some people with my individual wishes.

The keymap editor addon would have made the file ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/gen.xml and you can either just add the previous noop action to that file or else just rename your other keymap back so it will load again. I think you will find your other keymap renamed to remote.xml.old or something to that effect.

I would be very interested in what that contents of those two keymaps are if you wouldn’t mind posting them in this thread. Just remember to highlight them and use the </> so they show up correctly.

[piravienthjagdish]

Thank you @darwindesign. It worked. Finally this is the code which worked out for me.

gen.xml:

<keymap><global><keyboard><key                                                         
id="44">videonextstream</key></keyboard><remote><power>noop</power></remote></global>  
</keymap>

[darwindesign]

How odd the CEC power command would be seen as a remote input while the PIP button a keyboard. I would probably limit the video action to just video playback so you can use that button for other purposes…

<keymap>
	<global>
		<remote>
			<power>noop</power>
		</remote>
	</global>
	<FullscreenVideo>
		<keyboard>
			<key id="44">videonextstream</key>
		</keyboard>
	</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

[piravienthjagdish]

So I am testing right now the buttons and I prefer the FullScreenVideo mode because it worked better than the global option.
Thank you again @darwindesign
