OpenBh 5.6 Now Available

After upgrading from OpenBH 5.6.005 to 5.6.006 on Zgemma H7, HDMI-CEC TV remote control stopped working completely. This affects both fresh installations and upgrades from 5.6.005.

Symptoms:
  • TV remote (Sony) no longer controls enigma2
  • Log shows: [eHdmiCEC] cannot open /dev/hdmi_cec: Function not implemented
  • RC device detected as type='None' instead of type='remote'
Posible Root cause: The commit [StartEnigma] Switch back to branding (4198dd8) changed config.misc.RCSource default from "hardware" to "branding":
With default="branding", enigma2 does not recognize RC for hdmi_cec input device as a remote control (type='None'), so CEC keypresses are never processed.

Thanks
Menu - Setup - System - Customise - Near the bottom of the list "Remote control source" change it back to OE-A Remotes if that box requires it.
