Avoid PMP+CEC turn on TV #923

Closed Nyaran closed 4 years ago

Nyaran commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I recently installed plex-media-player on Fedora 31 and I have Pulse-Eight CEC-USB to be able to use my TV remote to contol Plex.

The part to control Plex is working fine, but any time I restart the PC, the TV is turned on, and if is on, the channel is changed to PC, but I don't always want this.

Is there any hidden config to avoid ths? On Raspbian, just needed to add hdmi_ignore_cec_init to config.txt, but I don't found anything like this with Fedora.

Thanks,

Regards

Test environment

PMS Version: 4.8.4 PMP Version: 2.44 (rpmfusion) Platform (Windows/macOS/Embedded RPi/Embedded Intel): Fedora 31

Steps to reproduce

  1. Restart the PC with plex-media-player start at boot (via systemctl)

Current behavior

  1. TV is turned on when Plex starts

Expected behavior

  1. Have an option to disable TV boot/change when PMP starts.

Hi @Nyaran, no, I'm unsure if there is a way to accomplish this in Fedora.

Sorry to write on closed post, but I finally found the way.

Is not a Fedora only solutión, can be applied to any Linux version (I guess)

  1. Locate plex-media-player config folder (/var/lib/plex-media-player/.local/share/plexmediaplayer)
  2. Open, with vi, nano, or whatelse the file plexmediaplayer.conf.
  3. Locate section cec, and modify the property activatesource to false.
  4. Restart.

Now when I restart the system, the TV do not change to the PC HDMI port and is not turned on.

I think the GUI should have an option to allow this, or at least add it to the Wiki.
