I tried to use it before Oreo but stopped because for me it caused my TV to turn on at random times
Thanks for testing
I had a terrible time with it on marshmallow. It was buggy, select was power, never turned TV off or on correctly or reliably. With nougat it worked fine with my 1080p set, on/off/input select/vol control all functional and reliable needed only the mi box remote. Nothing seemed to change that with Oreo, seems to function for my one set as expected. Thanks for explaining these one key settings.
In your experience do the volume keys on the Mi Box remote change your TV volume? (In any setting, One key play On or Off).
If so, then it sounds like if you exclusively use the Mi Box on a TV, you could use only the Mi Box remote to power everything up, navigate, set volume, and power everything down. I would love a setup with only one remote.
Basically...
Users should not count of HDMI CEC control working properly with any sort of equiptment, especially different brands.
If it sort of works, well count yourself lucky.
HDMI CEC is not a strictly adhered to standard, Electronics Brands add all sorts of tweaks to CEC to work with their own compatible equiptment.
Some would even call it a conspiracy theory with companies trying to keep users within their own electronics branded ecosystems.
Sorry, there will never be a description of predictable CEC behavior.
Even with a limited set of binary features to be defined, individual manufacturers can create an illogical implementation.
Never mind the standard for CEC was understood and codified in 2002, getting makers to implement this set of controls has been inconsistent and haphazard.
Even getting consistency between different models from the same factory has been elusive, never mind getting different brands to interoperate.
What's the big problem? There is only 2 elements to be dealt with.....ON/OFF and VOLUME UP or DOWN?
If factories can screw up this simple standard, is it any surprise that other more complex yet clearly defined standards like those affecting DRM continue to torment users???
