Detecting the wrong device.

Hi there, I've had a QE49Q67RATXXU since December 2019, the problem I've been having is I have a SkyQ box connected to hdmi1 and that gets detected correctly as a SkyQ device but I have a Raspberry Pi4 with libreELEC media player software installed on it on hdmi2 and it keeps getting detected as the wrong device which is annoying!! every time I power the Raspberry Pi on it keeps saying detecting device, it always finds the wrong device, it picks my Amazon Firestick up as an AppleTV is there a way to turn off the auto detect? I've turned off Anynet+ but that doesn't seem to help.

The TV keeps detecting my Raspberry Pi4 as a Sky device, is there any way to turn this auto detect off? Thanks for the help.

Could someone let me know if I can turn off the hdmi auto detect using the button combination on my TV? Samsung please allow a settings to turn this off it's really starting to do my head in. Thank you.

From what I've been reading if you select the wrong device, when it doesn't work you should get a manual option to select a device. Does this work?

What a pain, thought Samsung would do better with this. Mine kept autodetecting the wrong device, kept saying Sky New Zealand after I unplugged the Foxtel and FetchTV no matter what I did after I changed over to new HDMI cables.

Finally I unplugged power cord and HDMI cord to each device. Plugged back in the HDMI cables and the power too, and the QN85A TV couldn't detect them automatically. I guess the devices taking time to boot up wouldn't let it autodidact.

After a while, it would say to manually select the device and I was able to set it correctly.

What a waste of time stuffing around. Expecting a bit better from Samsung, even though everything else is perfect so far.
