Hi,
I have been pulling my hair for two days trying to figure out how to get CEC to work with my new TV. Before I had a Philips TV from 2009 and that worked perfectly with CEC.
Setup
LG 65UF675 -> Onkyo TX-SR608 -> Pi
Scenario 1
I activate Simplink in LG TV and RIHD in the Onkyo Receiver. When I power on the Pi I can see that CEC Pulse eight detects TX-SR608. It is possible to adjust volume up and down with LG remote on the TX-SR608. So the connection between receiver and TV should be ok.
It's not possible to use LG remote to browse menus in Kodi. The Pi is detected as a "HDD-Recorder" in the LG Simplink menu but fails to connect.
So what I tried was:
Connecting the Pi directly to the TV. CEC works without problem and I can browse kodi menu with LG remote.
If I then disconnect the HDMI cable and connect it to the reciever again everything is working fine .... until I power everything off and on again. Then I'm back at scenario 1.
I had the exact same cables and setup with my older Philips TV and CEC has been working for years without any issues.
I read alot about problems with LG Simplink, so sorry if someone posted similar issue in another thread.
Do anyone have an idea in how to solve this? Or is LG Simplink not fully compatible with CEC?
Thanks alot in advance.
