      I have one RPI3B+ for LibreELEC and another one for Retropie. Suddenly LibreELEC stops being able to be controlled by CEC. A restart didn’t solve the problem. Actually the TV didn’t recognize any CEC compatible devices in the listings.

      Until I noticed that Retropie had hung in the ES menu on screen saver (it usually does if have been idling for a week or two).

      When restarting Retropie, the CEC on LibreELEC started working again. This has happened on three different occasions, so it was reproducible.

      I therefore suspect the Retropie is DDoS-ing my TV’s CEC service.

      Is there a way to nicely disable CEC on Retropie. I have never used it...

      Thank you for your support!

        @arcuza hi, you can add this configuration to config.txt:
        hdmi_ignore_cec=1
