Using epymc over HDMI-CEC remote control

[phorward]

Hi there!

I just installed epymc on a Raspberry Pi (Arch Linux ARM) and I'm really impressed about the cool look and usability, also because I use Enlightenmnet as desktop user interface.

But I'm having a question: Is a support for HDMI-CEC planned or already given? Because I cannot use epymc over the remote control delivered with the monitor / TV-box. This worked already with Kodi on the same device.

So long Jan

HDMI-CEC is not supported atm, mainly because I have no such hardware to test with.

Are you interested in helping with the development of this support? The epymc part is really simple, it's just to write a new input plugin that emit the correct input_event when it receive a CEC event. We just need to find how to receive CEC events in python, If you can find a working python example I can write the epymc plugin based on that

Hey Dave,

thank you for your response. This sounds not so hard to implement, so yes, I would like to help on this issue, and will check out how to handle CEC signals with Python. Please let me check it out for a few days.
