I just upgraded an old projector to a new TV. I have both Chromecast and Vero V connected to an Onkyo AV receiver, and the receiver is connected to TV. In order to use ARC I turned on CEC on the television. However, now I cannot change the input to Vero on Onkyo. If I select the input Vero is connected to, after a second or so Onkyo will change the input back to Chromecast.
If I disable CEC on television I can access also Vero, but then ARC would be lost.
CEC is enabled on OSMC settings, but I guess there is some other setting that needs adjusting.
With the projector I noticed that sometimes it took several seconds before OSMC screen was displayed when I changed to input. Could OSMC somehow disable the HDMI output if it’s not active?
Turn CEC on and den disconnect all devices from power for a few minutes. Reconnect and try again.
That did not help. Does the OSMC turn off the display after some time? Maybe it could work if it was always on?
Does your display have a specific port that the AVR must be plugged into for ARC to work properly, and is that where it is plugged in? When I first got my LG TV I didn’t notice this fact and plugged my Denon AVR into the wrong place and it had the same kind of behavior your describing.
Yes, and ARC works fine. Also the Chromecast plugged into the receiver works flawlessly. Problem is only with Vero.
I ended up unplugging the Chromecast as the functionality is integrated to the TV. Now receiver did finally change to Vero input. I still wonder though how they could coexist.
Are there any comprehensive CEC settings on the Chromecast? Or is it a case of enable/disable?
I think it cannot even be disabled unfortunately. Some people have been using devices which remove CEC from HDMI signal.
Back in the days you could just remove pin 8 from SCART using pliers and auto switch was removed…
On CEC it’s removing pin 13…
Perhaps changing from between Player and Recorder in CEC settings on Vero and then rebooting the device will help.
