Vero V - worked fine, after update now seems keep dropping CEC for a few seconds and then restoring

Logs here - https://paste.osmc.tv/omoqiwicot
Vero V is connected directly to a JBL soundbar, and then on to the TV. It seems now after the latest update to keep dropping CEC (which causes the screen to go blank as I’m sure the soundbar thinks it shoud now look for audio via ARC?), but restores itself in about 5~10seconds - seems quite random. Not evening happening when playing video. When enabling logs after a reboot, it did the same thing 2 or 3 times. Logs uploade just after. Hopefully gives some insight.

Note - all HDMI cables tested, fully wired. No issues before last update from memory. Nothing has changed.

Nothing has changed with CEC in a recent update. Did the soundbar get a recent update?

Try power everything down at the mains for ten minutes.

Have powered everything down (power off at wall) a number of times, didn’t seem to help. I can try for the extended period. Does anything jump out in the uploaded logs as potential issues?
No updates to the soundbar since last year.

Do you know perhaps if you only just updated to Kodi v21 and you were on Kodi v20 prior to updating? Although the change of Kodi version was introduced in August, I wonder if you did not immediately update and this is a regression introduced in the latest version of Kodi.

I was travelling on a late flight today and did not have a chance to check your log just yet

Tbh, I’m not sure on the Kodi version before the last update. If I would have guessed, I’ve been updating anytime a notification comes up so I’d think I shouldn’t have missed any inbetween updates

I’ve checked the logs. Nothing obvious.
Anything else attached to the TV?

Can you try another HDMI cable? If the screen is going blank too then it could be a cable issue. If you go to Settings → Display and set HDP Lock to true, does it help? You’ll need to reboot after setting this.

2 days ago I went wild and just reimaged the VeroV and set everything up to see if that resolves it.
The HDMI cable it has, it had had since I got the V - I will swap it should the issue persist and revert back.
