CEC deck controls fail with tv sets from LG #534

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect Chromecast to a tv set from LG, which supports CEC (or Simplink)
2. Play a YouTube-Video or Google Music on your Chromecast
3. Try to pause the video

* What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Nothing happen, even though the lg supports CEC

* What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

LG 42LS560S and a Chromecast with firmware 27946

* Please provide any additional information below.

This is a follow up on 
https://code.google.com/p/google-cast-sdk/issues/detail?id=93: 

I've got a LG 42LS560S and a Chromecast with firmware 27946. The tv understands 
CEC (or Simplink in the LG naming universe). Together with OpenELEC and a 
Raspberry Pi I use the tv remote to control the kodi mediacenter. But the 
chromecast is still a no go, even though the firmware is up to date.

The LG doesn't detect the Chromecast as a CEC device and so play/pause with 
YouTube or other google apps doesn't work. Other users with LG tvs report the 
same problem, so I guess there's a incompatibility between LG tvs and 
Chromecast.

Same for me, using 42LG6100 and Chromecast with firmware 27946

no detection of the chromecast as CEC at all, bluray player is recognized on 
the same hdmi input as CEC.

Can you submit a Cast feedback report for the LG TV when pressing the buttons? 
https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3187017?hl=en
Make sure to prefix it with the issue number.

hope it finds the way to you.

I have an LG 47LK520 TV that supports HDMI CEC (Simplink) and after turning 
Simplink on I can also not use the play/pause buttons with Google Play Music. I 
have sent Feedback via the chromecast app too, prefixed with "issue 534".

I got a LG52LD550, it is also CEC compliant but i read that it is only 
compatible with LG simplink... I guess it's the same with a lot of LG TVs (sad 
news for us).

I have a LG 47LM6200-UE with Chromecast ver 27946. As far as I can tell, the TV 
remote play/pause buttons works for YouTube videos cast from within Chrome 
browser. When I try the same using the YouTube app on my nexus 4 it does not 
seem to work.

I have a lg lh3000. I tested my raspberry pi which is recognised by simplink.  
I am quite surprised why this issue hasn't been dealt with a while ago as I 
have seen a lot of people with the same issue all over the net.
