CEC is flaky though. Not everything is compatible. There’s little good documentation. It breaks randomly without obvious causes or predictable fixes.
If Apple made a box or a set of them with a proprietary interface that competes with CEC I would buy in a heartbeat.
CEC is working well at my house. But for six months earlier this year, the Apple TV remote could no longer power up the sound bar. One day it started working again. But I live in fear of the call from my wife when it just stops working entirely and she can’t figure out how to turn the TV on, much less the sound system.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoSpeaking as someone who has recently been involved with a very wide-scale project using CEC (demo units for a major retailer here in the UK) I concur - CEC is incredibly unreliable. My project ran on a very limited range of hardware from a well-known high end manufacturer. I imagine it's even worse "in the wild".
