No signal from MLD vomp after TV power off

[svalavuo]

The log I sent is from the time I switched TV off (I quess it's the third line (16:43:58.301218) that was the first signal from remote).

After that last line nothing happened to log (when I turnd TV on or off).
Basically vompclient just disconnected and that's it.

Well, if it hears nothing from the tv, then there is nothing I can do....
You can just hack the software, so that it ignores the power key, but this will result in higher power consumption.
The only thing would be if there is some thing in the tv you can adjust.

So basically vompclient listens CEC codes and it writes them to logfile even when it is "turned off"?

So it's not possible that my TV sends some CEC code that RPi ignores?
Ok, back to my MVP then (picture quality is so much better with RPi).
And RPi goes to my "electronic junkyard" for now

Thanks Marten for your help!

[MartenR]

Yes, that is my diagnosis. (If you tell me the modell of your TV I will look into the manual, if you missed something about CEC in your TV. Because the power button might turn vomp off, but probably it only turns the tv on).
Another way would to connect the raspberry pi and to not run vompclient, but run cec-client and to listen at the commands coming from the tv.

But since CEC seems to be faulty on your TV, just try something like an USB remote (Hid device) instead.
You can assign a POWER key  of the USB remote then to turn vomp on.

Our TV is Logik 24" Full HD LED TV (L24FE12N)

As I told earlier, it's about the cheapest Full HD LED TV we could find

Is the power cost that overwhelming for you that you cannot have the raspberry pi on 24/7. The cost for me in Sweden is dirt cheap to drive a raspberry.

Realise that the energy cost where I live is very low compared to other places round the world but compared to other energy thieves in an household I wouldn't even bother turning the raspberry off. The advantage of having a picture instantly when the tv is turned on is significantly more important in our household.

[svalavuo]

Nope!

Problem is, that RPi turns vompclient off when I turn my TV off, but doesn't turn it on when I turn my TV on.
RPi would be on 24/7 if I can get it to work correctly.

I don't like to keep my TV on 24/7

Ok, the only thing, that I found is that you can turn on and off CEC, not much usefull to customize.
Especially no comment how to stear the devices, it is possible, that my implementation of cec misses something for this case since all my tv have a separate power button.
Anway I do not have a clue.

Hi MartenR,

Is there a way to make RPi log all CEC -Data it "hears"?

That's what happens in log when RPi is on and I turn my TV on.

Ok, there seems to be another message, than just a key press to turn vomp on.
I will see, if I can implement it without a device that handles it that way.
I will be busy the next weeks, I either implement it tomorrow and push it to my git or you have to remind me after one  month.

Please check my current git version.
I changed the behaviour of vompclient a bit.
vomp now reports to libcec, when it is turned off and on.
It seens that your TV does not  turn a device, which already reports that it is turned on.

There's no binary version available? 

As I said, I have MLD (MiniDVBLinux Distribution) on my RPi.
Or should I use this http://forum.loggytronic.com/index.php?topic=707.0 quide to build a new vompclient?

[MartenR]

Yes, you should use the guide but use my git development repository.

Hi,

Is there an address for that in here somewhere?
