well I have some good new and some bad news. I added what I think is a deck state callback to the libCEC dll. and It compiles successfully with making the python interface.
The bad news is I do not have a BD player or anything that uses CEC that is some kind of a media player. So I have no way to test it. LOL

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
AVR will help when testing the volume stuff. I have added a few things to libCEC. so the version that is going to be shipped with the plugin is not going to be supported by Pulse-Eight. I have added a few extras. I am still trying to work out the tuner crap. I can't seem to locate any protocol specification for cec. it's actually quite aggravating.

If you get a first version ready, we can maybe help you to find some bugs

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
OK i just finished adding a bunch of things to libCEC It compiles without issue, I do not know if it is going to work ok or not.
But i added these new features to it
set the OSD Name for the PulseEight cec device
getting a players mode
setting a players mode
events for a players mode
if you configure libcec to make the cec adapter act like a player and you receive commands from another device to change the mode. you will get events for this as well

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
OK so here is the deal.
I am testing out libCEC as best as i can and it seems to be going well. I did find out a few things. first is Vendor RC codes. this seems to be the ticket to getting a good portion of remote control buttons working, But the debugging information has to be logged and the hex codes analyzed to get the vendor RC codes out of them. then i can start adding the codes to the plugin. I have to do a few errands today as well as get another set of battery for my remote. I hope to have a test version of the plugin possibly by tomorrow. we will see. depends on how my day goes and how fast I manage to get my house projects finished up.

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
Maybe its possible to just send the raw hex code on each button press as remote? (if it changes for every vendor?)..kgschlosser wrote: Fri Apr 13, 2018 3:55 pm OK so here is the deal.

Then we can help you test and send you what every hex-code on our remotes mean.. or we dont even need it, since we can map all wanted actions on these raw inputs.
Prob. i just didnt understand what you meant, looking forward to get a first test version
Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
Putting this here in case it helps. http://www.cec-o-matic.com/ I'm not sure if it applies but at the bottom of that page it says "Tool based on HDMI-CEC specification Version 1.3a,"

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
CEC-O-MATIC does not show the vendor codes.
And to be honest with how the CEC protocol works who knows how long the hex codes could be. It all depends on what the vendor set up. It is going to be a hit or miss on what vendors we are able to get the codes from and what vendors we are not. If they implemented some kind of a special op code to send the codes between only their devices I do not know if libCEC will display that data. I may be able to alter the code to show it if it doesn't

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
I am running through some prelims on the testing of the new plugin. So maybe another day or so. I had a real bear of a time with the plugin config dialog. This was because of the added features and it being way to much to try and squish onto a single line. So i had to make a semi custom control to handle multiple adapters and having 17 options per adapter

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
Kevin, I just got a 2X1 HDMI splitter as part of a failed experiment. What do you suppose would happen if I used my pulse eight on the TV side of that splitter? I'm thinking it wont see events from the stereo but that has web control anyway. I might have to try this out.

Re: Pulse-Eight CEC +
the splitter has to be designed as a CEC hub or pass through. otherwise it will not work.

Is it possible to set the CEC adapter as an AVR device to be able to control volume?kgschlosser wrote: Fri Apr 06, 2018 12:21 pm With my extensive reading on this really ass backwards non standard protocol i have discovered a few things that i can do.
