ok however, if you look in the project some people stores the command that work (on/off...)

Could be cool to use hdmi command instead of IR

Yes, it would be similar to the RS232 interfaces - where every vendor has their own way of doing things.

Exactly right. Thats the basic problem CEC... it will end up being a different implementation for each vendors hardware. Therefore another mess :-(

yep, however, if you have a look in the link of my previous post, you'll see that:http://www.andrewncarr.com/hdmi/hdmi-cec-codes.xls

A good start !

My point was that CEC doesn't seem to solve any problems that RS232 doesn't solve, except one less cable.

Just browsing and stumbles across this one.

My TV does have HDMI, but not RS232, another problem this would solve.....

Assuming that your TV can handle CEC communications...  As I understand it, most do not support those features yet.

from what ive heard every device model has its own id code for its hdmi, maybe have a trainer built into lmce and have it tell you what buttons to press so it can capture the codes, then upload them to the wiki or something. im not good at coding yet so im just throwing this out there. scrutinize away  Tongue

Unfortunately, there are very limited (if any) support for accessing CEC through graphics cards. This is a hardware and driver issue, which we have no control over.

When/if that is solved, your suggestion might work. But putting the codes in the wiki is a big NO-NO!! We have a device template system for such things (this is how IR codes are stored today). I suggest you try to understand device templates, as it will make it easier to understand the system

best regards,

Regarding HDMI-CEC, as pointed out elsewhere in the forum. There is a USB2HDMI-CEC device available. If anyone is willing to do dev work on integrating it into our system, or sponsor other people to do so, lmce has all the plumbing in place to control devices via HDMI-CEC.
