[Feature Request] Control TV through CEC #232

Open jkiddo opened 8 years ago

jkiddo commented 8 years ago

It would be great if it was possible to not just control XMBC through Kore, but also the rest of the TV setup - eg. changing channel and source on the TV which can be done through HDMI-CEC

So you're suggesting adding IR features to kore?

What about devices without IR blaster?

jkiddo commented 8 years ago

Initially I was thinking about just taking advantage of the features already bundled through the cec-client lib bundled with most raspberry installations such as Kodi and OSMC, like turning the TV on/off, changing channel, adjusting the volume and so on.

Kore communicates with Kodi via the JSON-RPC API and i believe that it doesn't expose any hdmi-cec functions. @Montellese can you confirm this?

Montellese commented 8 years ago

That is correct although it has been requested before.

I might be scope creep from your guys perspective ... because essentially what is the essence of what I'm asking is a single app for controlling both Kodi and my TV (because I use Kodi on my raspberry) - which makes sense from a user perspective, but not necessarily from a Kodi Remote perspective - and, yes, sounds like it requires an interface expansion in the JSON API. I would however love to have such a feature. Doesn't it sound awesome :)
