I bought a new TV and tried to connect my Raspberry Pi 4 that was connected to my previous Panasonic TV where everything worked. The TCL works great but I cant use my remote to work in Raspberry Pi 4 that has Libreelec which only running Kodi (latest software update).
TCL is updated to the last software also (says no new updates).
HDMI control (allows control of CEC devices) - turned ON
Arcsomething option is also turned ON
And, as you can see on the picture [img]

there is an option under "Menus" that says "Allow access and control to the device menus"
I connected the HDMI calbe in HDMI 1, unplugged all devices turned off the TV, turned it on and again nothing.
The thing is that CEC "can" work even in Kodi/Raspberry IF i click on the "Menus" and select/confirm the only available option which is "Allow access and control to the device menus".
That automatically open KODI (HDMI 1) and allows me to use both of my TCL remotes but it shows some remote controller in the lower right corner as you can see in the image [img]

I can use the remotes in Raspberry/Kodi as long as that remote in the lower right corner of the screen is seen. As soon as I close it or use other options that close that remote I cant use the remote anymore. That remote in the lower right corner is visible in all the screens in Kodi, even when streaming content or watching from the connected HDD.
Does anyone have any suggesitons? CEC/TV remotes obviously can work on the TV but something is obviously wrong.
Can anyone help me?
HDMI CEC isn't foolproof. The only implementation I've seen work universally is Xbox's. Every other one has gaps.
