CEC remote does not work with RPi 2

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

I connected RPi 2 to Samsung TV (6 series) via HDMI. Aynet+ is enabled on TV and CEC is enabled in OSMC settings. Also, I have tried with three different cables, so I suppose cable itself is not an issue

This can be closed. I got a new HDMI cable, and it worked. Thanks.

Thanks for reporting back, I think this shows that not all cables are born equal

CEC is a 1-wire bus on pin13. Not all cables choose to wire it up – it is an optional part of the specification. As @DBMandrake says, there must be a shortage of copper.
