Feature request: use CEC to determine if TV is on or off and stop playing the screensaver if the TV is off #20

Is it possible within python, to query the power on status of the TV over cec? If so, adding a feature that checks the status before the next apple screensaver/movie is queued to play would be very cool. If on, play, if off, allow for the kodi-native dim option as if the timeout period defined in #18 was hit.

@enen92 what do you think... feasible?

enen92 commented 7 years ago

Sorry, unfortunately only three cmds are exposed from kodi to communicate with the display via CEC - activate, deactivate and toggle (switch between states). If it could be achieved, I'd have used it during the last feature request

Thanks for the info. Feel free to close this or keep it open as a place-holder for the future.
