Hello,
I have a LG 42LV3400 and Kodi (osmc on raspberry pi B+).
I want to control Kodi with TV's remote, but I can't.
For information, this TV has the simplink function (CEC).
Does anyone can tell me by step how to do?
Thank you.
(Sorry for my bad english!)

On my LG, once I have the Pi on screen I have to select sources again, then green (the symlink button) and switch from TV to HDD recorder (which is what the Pi appears as to symlink). It will try to reconnect (and probably say failed, mine always does) and then CEC should work.

In the simplink menu, I have TV ; disc ; VCR ; HDD recorder... but all are greyed out.

Check your HDMI cable. It may perhaps not have suitable wiring for CEC? Also if the TV has multiple HDMI ports, try a different one (especially hdmi1) as often only the master one has CEC.

I've never tried on-board CEC, only the CEC adapter, but do you still have to enable it in Kodi before it will announce itself to the TV and accept commands?
It's in System -> Settings -> System -> Input Devices -> Peripherals or similar, I think.

No ! It's the original TV remote.
