Why Kodi (OpenELEC) switches TV to HDMI? - and7ey - 2016-08-20
I have Kodi running on OpenELEC (Raspberry Pi). HDMI CEC is enabled.
When I switch on TV, it automatically switches to HDMI (Kodi) channel, which is OK.
But if I manually switch back to TV channels, it automatically switches to HDMI channel again, when Kodi starts to show screensaver. How could I disable such behaviour?

I'm going to have a guess, and say that the screensaver is changing the resolution of the screen or sending a dimming command to the panel itself.
I've never had the CEC option, so i'm just guessing as to what the command is actually doing (without actually searching in the log files when the screensaver activates...)
which screensaver are you using ?
and do you have native resolution or any kind of framerate change set up ?

From the home screen:
System > system > options > cec adapter.
Start turning things off.
If you just mean it switches when the screensaver starts why not disable the screensaver...?

What I have found with my equipment (with CEC on) is that if there are any changes* to Kodi then the equipment will change the input back to kodi
* changes such as accidentally pressing the kodi only remote and the dimmed screensaver turns off; or if I start to play something via Airplay (on Kodi)

Started doing this today, Xbian with Kodi 18 on Raspberry 3 switching to HDMi after 3 minutes of idle. Had Screensaver set to DIM after 3 Mins. Disabling Screensaver sorted the Switching for me.
