[kodi-rbp] HDMI-CEC is broken with p8-platform-2.1.0.1-1

[soren121]

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 with an up-to-date armv7h install.

With kodi-rbp 16.1-5 and p8-platform 2.1.0.1-1 installed, Kodi is unable to initialize HDMI-CEC support. The following error appears in Kodi's log file:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ERROR: Unable to load libcec.so.3, reason: libp8-platform.so.2.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR: Initialise - failed to initalise bus cec
')

Downgrading p8-platform to version 2.0.1-2 solves the issue.
It seems that either kodi-rbp or p8-platform needs to be recompiled to fix this, right?

That does appear to be a sound train of thought.

Check the so names from the p8-platform package to be sure.

Hello,

I have exactly the same issue with a Raspberry PI3 as well. Downgrading has indeed solve it.

Thanks for the workaround!

Then yes, that is a definitive point that kodi-rbp is in need of a rebuild because of the soname bump.

I have bumped the pkgrel for libcec-rbp and libcec-imx6, and they should be in the repos within the day.

Hello WarheadsSE,

I confirm it's working fine now.

Thanks very much for your quick reactivity.
