Chromecast with Google TV - Adding TV codes

by beegee226

I'm using my Chromecast with my ViewSonic M1+ projector, but I can't program my Chromecast remote to control the projector. They have ViewSonic TVs as a selection to use for the remote, but none of them work to control the projector (power and volume). Has anyone had any success getting Google to add more TV (or projector) codes to their library? I wish this remote was able to learn commands from other remotes.

One way I went around the missing code for my old toshiba tv, was to first make a list of other manufacturers that share the same codes as my TV manufacturer and then attempt to select those in chrome cast until I got lucky (Sears was the brand in my case)

However, projectors would be more difficult as chromecast doesn’t not support projector control officially.

Learning from other remotes needs hardware that I'm certain the GTV lacks

I can't help with this ccgtv, but can tell you I just switched from that to the nvidia shield and those give you a choice of tv or projector when setting up the CEC remote pairing.

I just bought the Viewsonic M1+ and Chromecast Google TV as well and realised the remote can't link the projector's volume and power button which really sucks because I need to use two remotes. I hope there's a way to fix this.
