How do I disable power on from media buttons?

by benpricedev

If my TV is off and you press the YouTube or Netflix button on the remote, it will power on the TV and launch the app. How can I disable this so that only the power button controls the power to the TV?

Usecase: I’ve remapped the YouTube button to YouTube Kids but when used to power on the TV it sometimes still launches the original YouTube app - I’d rather have the kids turn on the tv and then press YouTube as I’ve had no issues with the remapping once the tv is already on.

Does it power on on every button? This is normal for my android TV. Hell, even a connected mouse that slightly moved will turn on the TV.
