fw 1470.3 HDMI-CEC issue

[tdragn]

I have the same problem with my UE50J6275
After updating CEC cannot automatically connect to Kodi. But I can connect it through tools menu - it works until I switch to another source.
I've contacted Samsung, but got only basic recommendations: "check your connection, reset your settings, check for updates" bullshit

Why would they want t to block Kodi?

I have used different raspberry Pi's
Rest my TV
Different Kodi builds.
CEC works but you have to select it from the tolls options on that particular source.

CEC is an industry standard so I can't see how you would block it.

Wow. Samsung support was terrible. He reset my TV. Said he had fixed it but needed me to explain what the issue was.
He agreed there was an issue.
He confirmed we cannot downgrade.
I asked when it will be fixed and he said in the next firmware
I asked when that will be and he couldn't answer it
He did say if this isn't resolved in the next few months I can get a new TV... I am not sure on how that would work but he confirmed the phone calls are recorded..

I would say anyone with this issue, call and raise a ticket

Just checked. Nothing for me yet. Hopefully they have fixed it and are pushing it out. Thanks.
