Yes Vero V is fine.
I have a Vero 4K+ and a new Vero V.
The Vero 4K+ used to be in the living room connected to a Yamaha RX-A880 and from there to a Panasonic 4K TV. It was on that equipment that the CEC issue started.
I now have a new Vero V in the living room and the old Vero 4K+ is now in the bedroom connected to a Yamaha RX-A680 and from there to a Samsung TV (only 1080P).
The CEC issues moved upstairs with the Vero 4K+ where it replaced an even older RaspberryPi OSMC.
Let us know when we can help to debug.
This issues with CEC are really annoying. I regret having updated.
You can downgrade at any time
I follow this discussion since a few days. To which state do I need to downgrade to make CEC working better? Do I have to downgrade only the kernel? Or OSMC release and kodi release etc?
Thanks!
As a test, I disabled CEC on the Vero 4K+ to see if there was any effect on other devices.
It was ok for a few days, but the other devices are showing the same issues with CEC control again, specifically switching on/off and switching inputs.
ie Turning the Apple TV off isnât turning the AVR & TV off. Turning the TV off doesnât turn the AVR off.
Or switching them to their correct HDMI inputs if youâre listening to internet radio and wake up the Apple TV.
But bizarrely waking up the Apple TV when everything is in standby IS switching the TV & AVR to the correct inputs.
Interestingly, the Apple remote is still controlling the volume on the AVR and the AVR remote controls the Apple TV ok via CEC, but the TV remote doesnât.
Pulling the power out of the Vero 4K+ returns everything to normal.
all very oddâŚ!!
(a few edits to add more detail)
Itâs a full re-install thatâs required unfortunately.
The latest image that is not affected by the issues (for the Vero 4K/4K+) is here: https://ftp.fau.de/osmc/osmc/download//installers/diskimages/OSMC_TGT_vero3_20220314.img.gz
After installation/first run, you should also aim to comment out the âdeb http://apt.osmc.tv buster mainâ line in your /etc/apt/sources.list too so that you donât accidentally accept any further updates if you want to stay on this older releaseâŚ
Has anyone archived old osmc packages?
http://apt.osmc.tv and its morrors only go back a few months. Too little, in this case.
Users with some Debian experience could simply downgrade kernel and/or mediacenter instead of doing a full re-install.
That would not work.
Kernel, secureOSMC, amcodec libraries and Kodi are extremely closely coupled.
You canât mix and match like that.

Hi,
For the next update, Iâd like to change some CEC default behaviour, but itâs also bugging me for other reasons.
Could someone go to Settings â System â Input â Peripherals and change the following:
âWhen the TV is switched offâ. The default should be Suspend. Please change this to Ignore.
Iâve chased this down a bit and Iâm not sure itâs the kernel that changed; libCEC that changed but possibly changes to Kodi.
Still looking in to all of this.
Iâve made the change. This could already help or do we also need to wait for your update?
ok, Iâve now made that change too.
Thatâs all I want for now. If it doesnât help I have a couple more suggestions.
I guess we just play the waiting game for now.
CEC just stopped working for the Vero+.
CEC volume control of the AVR with the TV remote is working though, but powering off TV isnât turning the AVR off. Waking up the AVR didnât turn the TV on either. Auto input selection not working.
symptoms about the same as before with the exception of the volume.
Rebooting the Vero got it back again.
Do you have a log of this?
Was any other device powered off/on during the time it took for this issue to re-occur?
Cheers
Sam
Unfortunately no log.
Nothing else was powered off/on during that time, just normal TV use with the AVR for sound and also Apple TV.
After restarting the Vero last night, the CEC problem has reoccured this morning as Iâve just gone to look at it regarding logging. Is there anything I can pull off of it before I restart it again?
Just upload logs via MyOsmc Log Uploader and record the URL
Somehow nothing with that URL. Maybe a typo?
Just done it again, obviously a different url:

Bizarrely though, CEC started working again without me restarting. Still not completely, AVR didnât turn on with the TV, but the TV remote is currently as we speak controlling the Vero.
