I’ve just installed OSMC on an RPi2 and can’t get the TV remote to work OSMC’s interface.
I’m completely new to OSMC and the world of HTPCs so perhaps I’m just missing something obvious here…
I’ve connected my RPi2 with a Sony Bravia (model: kdl 32d3000). Tried two different HDMI inputs.
In the HDMI settings of my TV the RPi2 is recognised in the device list (recorder 1 AV7 (Kodi)).
I’ve also found (lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/sony/) an lirc conf file for my remote (RM-ED035). Which I’ve put in to /etc/lirc/. I then chose the RM-ED035.conf through the My OSMC > Remotes menu
A couple of reboots later, and many searches on forums, no luck.
An yes, just noticed there’s a whole page of settings behind the CEC entry on the peripherals screen. It is enabled.
What’s curious is that after a reboot the ‘connected to HDMI device’ and ‘HDMI port number’ are not visible. When I restore the default settings on the CEC settings screen these two lines appear.
Connected to HDMI device: TV (other option available is amplifier/AVR device)
HDMI Port umber: 1
The lirc stuff has absolutely nothing to do with CEC and none of that should have been necessary. Does CEC work on any other device connected to that tv?
