Key for blanking screen?
#16
I found out that I can deactivate the TV screen via the TV remote. I need to press the "green" key, which leads me to a certain menu, which I can use to blank the TV.

However,when using the Pi, the "green" key on my TV remote seems to be routed through to the Pi via CEC, thus disabling the menu for the TV.

At first, I thought I could simply set the green key to "noop" via keymap.xml. But I guess at this point, the Pi has already received the keypress instead of the TV, so ignoring it will not give back the event to the TV.

Is there a way to ignore the keypress only for this key and instead interpret it by the TV?
Or, alternatively, can I re-send the "green" event to the TV?

Because "video mute" is available on your TV, you may be able to do it with a script:
