Hi All,
Apparently the Nexus Player supports HDMI-CEC. I can control the player using my TVs remote but the screen does not turn off automatically after the player turns idle. Is there way to switch off the screen when the nexusplayer is idle?
Thanks!
So you just turned on CEC and your remote worked?

Hi,
my nexus player is disturbing my DVB-T signal (dont ask me why - but its definitly the nexus) - its working in sleep mode! I can put the player into with my TV Remote Control (HDMI CEC). My Problem is that the Nexus is waking up whenever i turn the tv on (even i m not on this HDMI Port!). Is there a option to disable that feature?
thanks

On my TV you can disable CEC to a certain device/HDMI port, does yours have that option?
Today I have coincidentally discovered that I can control my nexus player with my Hisense LTDN50K220 TV remote control. It has full functionality of nexus remote. Anyone also experienced this with another TV?
Yes. It is called "HDMI-CEC".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#CEC
I have a Panasonic that automatically turns on and switches to the correct HDMI input any time I send a cast from my phone to the NP or anytime I push a button on my NP remote. And I can also control the NP with my TV remote as well. HDMI-CEC is pretty damn cool
I know that the Fire TV Stick remote works with the Nexus Player:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/accessories/fire-tv-remote-nexus-player-t2939508
What I'm wondering is:
1. Does the Fire TV Stick remote have the same disconnect issues as the Nexus Player remote? The LED on the Nexus Player remote will flash fairly frequently, which I understand to mean it's lost connectivity with the Nexus Player. It always seems to reconnect on its own, but I've noticed it can often be slow to respond. For example, if I'm watching something and then pause it, it can sometimes take up to 10 seconds to pause. Every once in a while it doesn't work at all and I have to press the button again.
I don't have the same disconnect issue with the Nexus Player gamepad, so I'm guessing the problem is the remote itself. The Fire TV Stick remote is cheap enough that I wouldn't mind picking it up if it solved this problem.
2. This isn't very important but I'm also curious if the menu button on the Fire TV Stick does anything on the Nexus Player. For sideloaded phone apps, perhaps?

in my experience with NP and NP remote and when i could pair the FTV box remote i always do/would loose connection even on the phone remote app along with constant audio dropouts. sad how google fails to release a solid rom for this device and or fails at correcting major issues. i have since lost my NP remote so im stuck using remote app or my samsung Tv remote via cec connection
the menu function can be used in kodi with addon keymap editor
i do have a samsung BT keyboard that may take up to 10 seconds to wake from sleep however battery life is very poor only lasting 1-2 weeks if that.
In case anyone cares, I bought the Fire TV remote (https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Remote-Amazon-Fire-Stick/dp/B00LORGAG6). The menu button on the Fire TV remote doesn't work and there's no voice search, but it seems to be quicker to respond and has less issues overall, although there are still occasional issues: every once in a while it'll be slow to respond or if you press a direction the Nexus Player will act as if it's been pressed multiple times.
So it's not perfect but it does seem to be a lot better than the stock Nexus Player remote from ASUS and I pretty much only use the Fire TV remote now.
Last night, it was dark and we were watching TV with the Nvidia Shield TV. I reached over to grab the Panasonic TV remote to turn up the volume. While fumbling to grab the remote in the dark, the Nvidia Shield TV started acting all weird like a poltergeist was navigating it!
At first, we thought that our Nvidia Shield TV was haunted! But, it turns out that we can use the 4-Way Directional Pad on our Panasonic TV remote to navigate the Nvidia Shield TV...who knew?!
Not sure how this works because our Nvidia Shield TV is hidden behind an entertainment center, so I doubt the Shield TV can read the IR signals coming from the remote. Plus, I don't think it even has an IR sensor.
It's called HDMI CEC control.
It passes the commands through the HDMI cable to the shield.
There is an option to enable / disable it on the shield in the HDMI settings.
The nice thing about it being enabled is that turning on the shield can automatically turn on the TV and switch to the correct input AND turning off the TV can automatically turn off the shield.

The remote control for the shield and controller works by Bluetooth.

I think my CEC only goes one way:
Panasonic TH58PE75U> Shield TV
And not:
Shield TV > Panasonic TH58PE75U
My TV is probably really old that's why
Just replaced my Android TV with a Samsung series 5. How can I enable casting to it?
I've found loads of threads about enabling Miracast, but these focus on screen casting. I just want to be able to cast the BT Sport app.
I have a Sammie TV as well. I ended up just getting a 4k Chromecast. Makes life so much easier. I use Videostream app to stream PC movies to Chromecast from another room and control playback controls on my phone.
