Z8 CEC Issue

Tpj · September 9, 2021 at 10:02 PM

My Z8 has developed a strange issue on the latest update. The box is on standby power mode and when it’s off, showing the red power lights it’s started randomly turning off the TV.

It’s connected through a denon AVR and both this and the TV are being turned off. If I unplug the Z8 it stops. I’ve disabled CEC on the Z8 now which has stopped the problem but I’ve been using Cec with no problems for ages and was working great before.

Is there any way I can backup all my favourites on MOL2 so I can wipe the box and see if this fixes it ?

Why factory reset the box if you can just turn off the cec setting?

It has to do with wifi, in settings there are box ticked in that gives apps ok to wake up the box if needed to, or something like that.

I run mine on cable since the wifi is badly coded on the box, sorry dev-team but even you dont succeed every time🙄

This is the backside of having multiple apps on something that is a tv box and not a web browser.

I have disabled Cec for now, but it’s been working fine for over a year and it was a useful feature for me. I’d like to try and get it working again.

Any one know if I have access to the files on the box is there some way I could save the favourites?

Sure, just do a backup to a USB drive, reset and restore.
