We'll that is interesting. Thanks for the pointer.
Trying it out, I see that the built-in CEC support is:
a. easier to set up
b. context-specific
However, using cec-client:
a. produces a different device name
b. allows more of the remote buttons to be used (e.g. channel up/down,
guide, prev ch, etc.)
Without knowing how CEC works, it looks to me as though the different
device names reflect different device types. It would be nice to be able
to use the extra buttons. Can this be specified somehow?
Your wiki entry also explains nicely why my TV was powering off when
exiting MythTV, which was annoying me.
Is there any way of specifying which input the TV uses? It is defaulting
to the HDMI mode without CEC.
Regards
Jeff

CEC supports device types that determine what commands are available

We are using PLAYBACK, so that the play, pause, fast forward, rewind
buttons are available.<br>
If a different profile was selected, different buttons may work, but
those may not. Unfortunately it is hard coded into MythTV. Would it
be useful to be able to change it? Which profile would you use if
you could change it? <br>
<br>
I do not understand the question about which input the TV uses.<br>
