Well both, Kodi puts it in standby, and the system hibernates after 60 minutes. But have not decided how to handle it just testing stuff.

But for the testing it was not supposed to do either.

About to do a new attempt but as it's my bedtime, I might be too tired to think. :?

I hate hibernation. it beats the snot out of the HDD. chews up space on the drive even when it is not being used. and it also causes all kinds of odd behavior in the computer.

I newer used sleep/standby or hibernate before as there was always some problems with it for me.
But now that I have one "server" that is on 24/7 and my main PC that is on 16 hours a day, having a third HTPC powered on all the time seems a bit silly, so I'm figuring out what is the best compromise, having it quickly accessible and not sucking. My power bill is big enough as it is.

OK "The last hurrah: the remake"

I have attached the logs, hopefully they are satisfactory. :)

I went to bed 5:08 but I see something interesting in the "Log.txt":

yup i see it as well.

libCEC stores the current state of the TV so if the TV is stored as being on and you tell libCEC to turn it on. it will not send the command. It thinks it is already on.

Now the issue is why is it change the state to on. Is it getting that information from the TV... is it a glitch in libCEC or is it a glitch in the adapter. These are the questions that need answering. But now that we have the log in hand I can bring it to the attention of the people over at Pulse Eight.


Now if pulse eight didn't store the power state and did an actual transmit to get the power state I could code around the issue. Because of this I am not sure I am able to. What I am going to do is I am going to use the current mechanism and if the state changes with the power it will then send a raw command to ask for the power state use the command callback to capture the response if the 2 do not line up then to send the power command opposite of that libEC GetPowerStatus is reporting, this should give it the proverbial boot in the ass to straighten it out.

This is going to be some of that voodoo code i hate doing. so it is going to take a while for me to organize my thoughts on a plan of attack for doing it. and I am sure it is not going to work properly for the first bunch of attempts.

I am also going to have to go and try to follow the data bath through the libCEC code to see if i can maybe locate an issue in it.

with your permission i would like to post the log onto the github for pulse eight.

But the get power info action does state that the TV is off.

Sure, go ahead. I don't think there are any state secrets there (They are stored on another PC). :twisted:

yeah but that could be because the stored data in libCEC is not returned with the GetPowerStatus it actually queries the device. but when you want to change the power state it checks that stored value and if it is not different then it bumps back the command.

Now because of the polling loop that i do for the power status (which actually calls get power status). I can use the info output from the logging end of libCEC to watch for the TV changing its power state. then do a query of the power state. and if the 2 do not line up then issue a power off command to the TV. since libCEC thinks the TV is currently on it should send the command to turn it off. which hopefully cause the TV to respond in a manner that will change the variable in libCEC. You can test this and we can see if it will work before I go through a whole bunch of code changes. All you need do is when the problem occurs turn the TV Off using EG. and then try and turn it on. and see if it does. if it does then i can code around it. if it does not I am not sure what to tell ya.

Also have you tried changing the active source using EG when this happens?? This can also force a change. if that works i can make it so that when powering on the TV if there is no change in it's state then set a variable with the current active source change it to something else and then back to the one it was set to.

So there are 2 possible solutions if you can run those tests for me that would be great. Please have logging turned on also. if it doesn't work i would like to see what the adapter is saying. If you can wait to do this until later today I will recode the logging end of things so it will write all of the information to file. well files i will have it write the files according to the logging type.

OK so here is a new version

There is a new option in the adapter config. in the logging section there is a checkbox to write the logging data to file. it puts the logs into %APPDATA%\EventGhost\CEC\{ADAPTER NAME}
It can make up to 6 files. it makes a file for each of the different log options. and it also makes a file for the events that get triggered.

I changed the power events. They are no longer On and Off. they are now
  • InTransitionFromStandbyToOn
  • On
  • InTransitionFromOnToStandby
  • Standby
  • Unknown
the Get Power Status is now going to return one of these 5 values
  • In Transition From Standby To On
  • On
  • In Transition From On To Standby
  • Standby
  • Unknown

I had an issue with my TV and I am not sure of anyone else had this issue. but when you turned the power to On it would trigger the On event. then the Off event then the On event again. This has been fixed. I am not sure as to why the TV reports like that but i put in some smoothing code for the power events.

I added checking of the power status of all devices when using the Power On All Devices action. If there is a device(s) that is not on it will tell them to turn on individually.

I added multiple checks for TV power when turning the TV on. if the TV is not on it will issue and off command and then another on command. if it is still not on then it will read all devices and find out which one was set as the active source. and by setting it as the active source again it should turn the TV on (it does on mine). In the event there was no device that was set as an active source. it will make the TV the active source.

beyond that I am not sure what to do on my end to solve this issue.

But give it a go and see what happens.

Also send me the logs (enable all of them) make sure you check off writing them to file

attached is the new version

OK so i ran the same test as you. i thought to myself i wonder if mine has the same issue. because I have been developing for it so much and i realized that i couldn't remember if i had ever left EG on over the time i was sleeping,


guess what. it does something very similar with mine as well. it actually appears that it is an adapter problem. my adapter stops communications over the com port.


do me a favor. Run the new plugin over night with all of the logging turned on. I need a copy of all of the CEC logs. I need to compare yours to mine. I am going to give both sets of log files to pulse eight.

When I was going to do this something happened with EventGhsot and I couldn't get it started, so I got really frustrated (and tired) I had to reinstall EventGhost and the plugin.

Then it worked again and hopefully the test is good enough.

I just got an e-mail back from the programmer for libCEC. He has been extremely busy and he will shoot me an e-mail when he can focus on the issues. So we are going to have to wait a bit. I will see if i can locate the problem myself and maybe correct it in the meanwhile.

So I have caved to the notion of having stuff work and got a Master/slave power-strip basically it cuts the power to the TV when I shutdown the PC(sleep/power off)

As I discovered in my testing if I cut the power to the TV it will respond to the power on command from the CEC adapter.

This is a workaround but seems to work, but I would still like to be able to shutdown the TV when the PC is on so not perfect.

I am just waiting for the author of libCEC to get some spare time. then he and I will dive into it and figure out what is going on. I am not sure what the time frame is going to be. Depends on when he is going to be done with what he is working on.
