Vero V switching HDMI signal from other source

Help and Support Vero V
1

Hello everyone,

sorry, if the title is misleading, but i don´t know how to tell the phenomenon in a few words.

I am using the following setup:

  • TV: Samsung 65" KU6079
  • Soundbar: Teufel Cinebar 11
  • Vero V (latest version of OSMC from May is installed) with connected USB-Drive 5,25"
  • Fire TV Stick 4K

The connections are as following:

TV is connected to the soundbar via ARC-HDMI on both sides.
Fire TV is connected to the soundbar via the HDMI input of the soundbar.
Vero V is connected to the TV via HDMI 2 Port on the TV and via optical S/PDIF to the Soundbar.

It happens occasionally while watching movies via Fire TV that - without pressing a button - the Vero V is switching to active HDMI signal and showing the last used screen (no movie or other media playing). I can then switch back to other HDMI source (i.e. Fire TV), but sometimes only a few minutes later the same thing happens again. However, the behavior is not consciously reproducible and seems random.

I have tried to lookup for a setting on Vero V, which could trigger this behaviour, but i couldn´t find anything (or at least anything that could be possible for my understanding). I even looked on the TV menu, but there isn´t anything either, which could explain this to me.

Additionally - if i am watching movies on Vero V, there are no problems and the Fire TV doesn´t show the same behaviour and is not switching to active without pressing a button.

Is there anything i can check on the Vero V/ OSMC which could be a possible cause for switching to active signal sometimes?

Thanks in advance
Jogo

Hi,

if you’re not using the TV’s remote to operate the Vero, you can for tests deactivate the CEC on the Vero and see whether this has any influence on this symptom:

In the GUI of the mediacenter go to

Settings -> System -> Input -> Peripherals -> CEC Adapter -> Enabled

and disable this feature.
To be sure restart the Vero. It might be necesssary to power down every device in this setup, so any device forgets the Vero as a CEC partner.

(The ‘Settings Level’ within the settings menues has to be ‘Standard’ or even higher.)

Hi @JimKnopf,

thank you for your support and your quick reply! I have changed the setting and am now observing whether the behavior changes. That would be great, because it can be annoying at times. :slight_smile:

I’ll mark the topic as solved if it doesn’t occur again in the next few days.

Have a good day…
Jogo
