What do you expect to happen when you change TV channels on remote? When you
see the backdrop (i.e. the picture frame you are referring to) on your TV, it
means your input is set to the HDMI input for Chromecast. If you change your TV
channels, you are not changing the input. If you expect changing channel should
switch your input to your TV input, then you need talk to the manufacturer of
your TV since remote control messages are received by your TV (or your cable
box if you have one) and they should change the HDMI if you expect that to
happen. I haven't seen any TV doing that though.

Sorry - I just want to switch the input source to TV input from SAT or other
HDMI input and it is not possible.

Is there a better place to submit a chromecast issue when it is not related to
the sdk ?

How are you trying to change the input? In your original issue, you stated that
you were changing channels. Are you just changing channels or are you selecting
the input on your remote control?

Sorry I described it wrong in my first post, i just tried to switch the
input source on the remote control. Also other keys on the remote control
do not work e.g. I can't open the TV menu screen. It looks like most of the
remote control keys are blocked.
Should it be possible to use the remote control when another device is
controlling the TV via CEC ?

Yes, you should able to use remote control. For example, on my Samsung TV, I
bring up chromecast and using CEC, it switches to the appropriate HDMI input
that my chromecast os connected to. However, I can grab my Samsung remote
control and press the Input Source to choose another input. The IR commands
that the physical remote control sends are intercepted by your TV and not by
Chromecast, and it is your TV that should provide the appropriate overlay to
allow you change the HDMI input. I suggest you contact the Toshiba support.

We would like to further investigate this issue so it would be great if you
could provide some help with collecting information on this. We would need two
sets of logs from your device. To send us logs from your chromecast device, you
need to follow the steps outlined in this help page:
https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3187017?hl=en
When you are sending a feedback, you can enter a keyword in the UI that helps
us find the log.
We would need two feedbacks:
(1) Just reboot your chromecast. After it is up, send one feedback, and enter
the keyword "toshiba-1"
(2) A second feedback: use chromecast for whatever you would like. Then try to
change the input using the remote which should fail (based on the issue that
you have reported). After doing that, send us the second feedback with keyword
"toshiba-2".
When you have done these, please enter a comment here so we can go and grab the
logs that you sent us; we may be able to see why your TV is not happy at that
point but unless we have the logs, we don't know if we can figure that out or
not.
Thanks.
