Yesterday I played a lot with IR but I couldn't convince it to wake up. Those codes and addresses are part of NEC protocol, just google it.

Which image did you use? Someone reported that he replaced HDMI cable and CEC started to work... Anyway, CEC on H3 was written by trial & error and reverse engineering, so unless Allwinner releases documentation, I doubt it can get any better.

Jernej, can you clarify what to do step by step? Which code to add, where to put it and how?

As I said, I didn't manage to make it work, so it is pointless do write anything about it at this time.

I uploaded new images. This is first release which includes CEC support. As it was reported many times, it works for some and it doesn't for others. If you have problems with it, you can disable it in settings. This is also first release in long time which doesn't have backported media drivers. However, I add some additional DVB drivers like rtl2832 and dvbsky. If you found a patch for your DVB dongle, I will be happy to include it, but please don't make a request without patch, it will be ignored along all requests to reintroduce media-build (backported media drivers).

This image includes also some bug fixes, most notably there is no more crashes when switching channels, for example in IPTV simple and others.

Apparently with this update "Automatic update", is now working too. I just saw a notification flash past, saying something like "OpenELEC extraction complete". Looking at the "About" page, the last segment version changed "g4575bc2" to g5828aec (after restart) so yea it's changed. Another notification "pulse 8 CEC adapter" something something. (Hahaha) Please try to through this at me, after morning coffee. I'll check this on my other OPI-PC, after my 2nd cup of coffee.
Yep "OpenELEV Update Availible" > "Download Complete" >"Extraction Complete" reboot then the "pulse 8 adapter" message (too long to read).
I've still got the blackout, following the OpenELEC splash screen (green LED), forcing me to press the "power button" (cycle LED) to restore, to main Kodi's screen, but, that's how it's working for now. My main complaint about this is, if house power goes out, the unit could come back to "On" instead of "Last State" or remain "Off". So, I can't see that the unit is running & wasting power.

Auto update without problems. I can see cec messages, but I'm connected to my pc screen now so I can't test cec. Maybe next weekend, I will try on my parent's tv so we'll see.

Any chance to make contrast/brightness sliders working?

P.S. I tested dvb-t. Channels switch is ok now. Regarding to hardware - my Geniatech tuner not working anymore - not even detected. But ite9135 works without problems. I'm glad, because Geniatech was rather unstable previously and ite9135 was completly broken. Now I have stable ite9135 working.

Vsync is still an issue unfortunately for interlaced dvb-t streams

[edit]
Unfortunately, dvb-t channels switch still sometimes causes to crash Kodi

What application are you using, to get where you are? I'm still lost.I found "VDR Configuration" Ver 1.0.8 by OpenELEV, It reports back "Realtek DVB-T RTL2832", appears to scan, but, finds Zilch.

I'm hooked to my tower antenna (deep fringe), 23dB's w/ preamp, my TV markets are very active in Florida.
