HDMI-CEC problems after Android 14 update

Since updating to Android 14, I've had this really annoying problem where the box steals focus from other devices and turns itself off whenever I change the source. This happens both with my HDMI switch and (confusingly) when plugged directly into the TVs HDMI ports

I hate HDMI-CEC and always have it turned off on both the box (hidden away in the Freeview Play settings) and the TV itself, so I really can't fathom wtf is even happening here. Maybe some kind of ghost toggle? I've double checked all the settings, I've power-cycled, I've cleared all the caches and force-stopped the "AuraCecManager" process. Nothing's helped

I had high hopes for the update, and it does seem to have fixed that horrible YouTube freezing bug on certain videos (as far as I can tell, fingers crossed) but this new bug is even worse. I should've known better than to expect a bug-free update from Humax

Has anybody else experienced this? I'm gonna have to do another full reset of the box and hope for the best. And if that doesn't fix it, then it truly is time to give up on this godforsaken box

I have the same problem after updating, I have recently been informed by a Humax person that this is a known issue and is being looked into.

Pity it, and the other problems being reported, weren't looked into during all that time the update was being tested.

Yes indeed they have had 5 years since the last major update, and it has been 2 years since the rumours of the update first emerged.
What have they been doing.
Update released almost 2 weeks ago, has introduced other/ more problems, cor blimey..
 
Just joined here after realising the "other forum" had closed.

Was surprised to see the update, so applied both Android 14 and 1.00.59 and now whenever I switch to a different AV input after 30s the TV switches off. Really frustrating! Turning off HDMI-CEC on the Aura failed to change anything, but doing the same on the TV has resolved it. Though that's very frustrating as now I need to turn on both devices!

I think you mean the TV goes into Standby.

So turning off CEC on the Aura does not actually turn it off. I am not surprised.
 
You are indeed correct, and I appreciate the pendatry.

Off in our household means "not showing any inputs", so yes that is standby.

We do only use one other AV input once a week; it just happened to be 10 minutes after I applied the update so the issue was immediately visible.
