Kiosk 5.4 and cec

Hope everyone is safe and wasn't expecting 5.4 with the mess going on next door. Thanks!

The new kernel fixed/found the HDMI audio in N5105 computers. Nice!

NUC10s contains CEC control in bios to turn on TVs from S5 --> S0 over HDMI rather than tty https://blog.kingj.net/2015/09/23/revie ... ht-review/ but haven't gotten it to work. Also cec-client -l doesn't show and devices so perhaps there is a special HDMI cable (internal USB?) required? Once cec-client is connected, is run_command= the preferred execution method?

Be safe.

Rob,

You should be able to use any facility which is able to execute the system commands in order to utilize the CEC functions:

a) cron daemon:

b) 'scheduled_action=' parameter

c) 'run_command=' parameter

CEC utils were added to the ISO on a customer request. I hope he provides a feedback soon so I could advise something (I have personally never used them myself).

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
