CEC not working on LG TV

[morfsta]

Hi,

I've been testing VOMP on my Pi and CEC doesn't work with my LG TV, there are no devices displayed in the Simplink menu.

CEC works fine with XBMC on the Pi, LG Simplink displays a "HDD Video Recorder" as the active CEC device.

I have attached the bootup log if that might help. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to debug the problem.

Thanks,

Morfsta

Well I have no idea about your tv.
Please test with cec-client software of libcec if the lib is recognizing your tv and the key presses and fiddle around with the options of the lib if not.
If you do not get it working with cec-client, then please file a bug with the people from libcec.
If you get working please tell me how, then I can see what I have to change in vomp.
Also note that some tv need to be configured so that cec is working.

There is no key press reported , so this is not handled.
Try to see if you can change the TV settings.
Otherwise maybe change in remotelinux.cc

cec_config.deviceTypes.Add(CEC_DEVICE_TYPE_RECORDING_DEVICE);
to

cec_config.deviceTypes.Add(CEC_DEVICE_TYPE_TUNER);
if this does not help, try add after

if (!cec_adap->SetActiveSource(cec_config.deviceTypes[0])) { 
                Log::getInstance()->log("Remote", Log::ERR, "CEC:Failed set active source");
return 1;     
}
the line

Code Select Expand

cec_adap->SetDeckControlMode(CEC_DECK_CONTROL_MODE_SKIP_FORWARD_WIND, false);
And try the values CEC_DECK_CONTROL_MODE_SKIP_FORWARD_WIND  ,  CEC_DECK_CONTROL_MODE_SKIP_REVERSE_REWIND ,  CEC_DECK_CONTROL_MODE_STOP     ,  CEC_DECK_CONTROL_MODE_EJECT. But I doubt that it will work.

I think there should be some setting in the TV how to handle it.
