Solved LG TV and CEC - Key pressed not detected
#1
Hi,

I'm trying to setup Kodi on Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspbian, and more particularly CEC to control Kodi with ma TV Remote. The TV is the LG 55SM9010
CEC seems to be working ok from console, as i can send basic command to the TV from RPI

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ echo volup 0 | cec-client -s -d 1
opening a connection to the CEC adapter...
volume up: 7F

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ echo scan | cec-client -s -d 1
opening a connection to the CEC adapter...
requesting CEC bus information ...
CEC bus information
===================
device #0: TV
address:       0.0.0.0
active source: no
vendor:        LG
osd string:    TV
CEC version:   1.3a
power status:  on
language:      eng


device #1: Recorder 1
address:       4.0.0.0
active source: no
vendor:        LG
osd string:    CECTester
CEC version:   1.3a
power status:  in transition from standby to on
language:      eng


currently active source: unknown (-1)

Turning ON and OFF the TV also works fine. Same with "as" command to switch on the RPI Source.

My problem is the other way around : the raspberry does not detect the key pressed on the remote.

I tried :
  • Raspbian + Kodi
  • OSMC
  • Librelec
  • on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, with a HDMI cable that worked well with my previous TV

Other informations :
  • The remote with the XBox works fine
  • Simplink (CEC) is activated
Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cec-client -l
libCEC version: 4.0.4, compiled on Linux-4.15.0-48-generic ... , features: P8_USB, DRM, P8_detect, randr, RPi, Exynos, AOCEC

And some logs : https://paste.kodi.tv/cojulekadi.kodi

Any idea what I could do to make this working ?

Thank you

I found the solution.
In the parameters, I had to go to Network > Device Connector > Home Theatre and unlink the RPI. Then, I linked it in the "Other Box" category, and it worked automatically
