This version adds support for a new feature, automatically waking the TV when the PC boots, when using a USB-CEC adapter. It requires firmware v11 or newer. You can enable it through cec-client: cec-client -aw 1 or cec-client --autowake 1.

It also adds a GetStats() API command and stats command in cec-client, currently only supported by the USB-CEC adapter. This command may be useful for debugging CEC issues.

Last API change fixes #333, which truncated the last byte from a 14 byte OSD name.

⚠️ not compatible with Kodi 18.x. Please use libCEC 4.0.5 instead.

  • fixed:
    • osd name truncated. issue #333
  • added:
    • GetStats() API command, for devices that support it
    • USB-CEC auto power on at boot support. requires FW v11+

This release fixes some issues in the 4.0.2 release that have been reported.

Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/~pulse-eight/+archive/ubuntu/libcec
Windows: https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/releases/download/libcec-4.0.3/libCEC-4.0.3.exe
It also includes an updated firmware, which addresses a bug in Samsung 2016+ models that powers on the TV randomly. You don't have to upgrade the firmware if you have another brand or an older model.

The wake up feature is disabled as a result, when a Samsung TV is detected. You can no longer wake up the PC if it's in standby or power it on when the PC is off (with an Intel NUC adapter).
