Live TV / HDMI CEC

Recommended Posts

I've just switched over to Emby, having used both Plex and Kodi before with CEC control via the Samsung remote that came with my TV.  Emby Theatre seems to generally be working with CEC as expected, except in the Live TV section.  There, I encounter UI elements such as drop down lists (if setting a series to record, then trying to edit the settings, there is e.g. a list to choose between recording all episodes or new epidsodes only) and spin buttons (e.g. to set the minutes to start recording before the show/ stop the recording after the show) which I haven't met elsewhere (yet?) and can't activate with my remote. 

 

I can highlight the relevant boxes, but then can't change their content.  If I 'select' the dropdown box (using the same 'enter' button, in the middle of my arrow keys, which allows me to select libraries/ media/ controls elsewhere) nothing happens. Similarly, nothing happens for the fields with the spin buttons. Using a mouse, left-clicking the dropdown box opens up the list of options, and similarly I can click the spin buttons to change the values, so I know the problem is with the method of control.

 

Can anyone help me figure this out? I feel like I must be missing something obvious.  Am I just not hightlighting the right bit of the interface (that said, it doesn't seem to be possible to highlight the dropdown 'arrow' or spin buttons separately)?  Is there another button these elements are expecting me to press on my remote?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, you don't highlight the dropdown arrow, it's just one highlight for the whole dropdown. When it's highlighted, try clicking OK/Enter. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

I don't know. Can you tell me how to check (is it in the log?) and I'll take a look this evening. But I'm pressing the same button that works properly as 'okay/enter' to navigate the rest of the interface.

Hello again.  I've taken a look myself this evening, and can't spot where to see a log of cec keypresses.  I seem to remember being able to see them in a Kodi debugging log, so I could reinstall that to identify the command the keypress is sending if that is critical / there's no better way (I feel like it would be nicer to have something logging what I'm doing when emby is running, although I suppose the keypress command won't change).

 

In any case, despite having just started the thread, I'm going to have to put this on hold at my end for a week or so, as life is getting in the way.  Thanks for your help so far, and if you have any other ideas please let me know and I'll look into it when I'm back.
