I've enabled debbuging in OpenELEC through SSH into my Raspberry Pi. I have no monitor connected and every time I check kodi.log I see that CEC is complaining about it. What can I do?

  • Ok, I've solved it by editing config.txt and enabling hdmi_force_hotplug, however I can't remount /flash to read-only. I do mount /flash -o remount,ro then reboot and it is still writable.

From Disable CEC:

http://elinux.org/RPiconfig

Add hdmi_ignore_cec=1 to /boot/config.txt

I thought CEC doesn't do anything anyway unless running something like XBMC. But I have both a Pi and Ubuntu Linux on my desktop PC connected to my HDTV, so the Pi does not actually turn my TV on/off. And the only time my Pi pays any attention to my TV remote is when running Raspbmc.
