Turn a TV or Projector on or off with a Raspberry Pi running Falcon Player.
Using CEC-Utils you can control the power status of your HDMI device, and also the volume and a few other features.
***This does require your HDMI device to be compatible with CEC standards, but most modern TVs and Projectors should work.

Thanks for sharing this, I knew this could be done but it's been at least 10 years since I messed with libcec and I was hoping someone had already done this for FPP

@fppshorts Год назад

I was a little shocked their wasn't a command or script already made. I need to learn how to add to the fpp script repo so this is available for more people.

Thanks for sharing this, I added a TV to my display this year. The 'On' script on the Google drive still references the "standby" command, easily changed to "on" and everything works for me. Also the comments below on the Falcon smart receivers.... these do not run the FPP player software. They connect directly to Falcon hardware controllers. FPP has to run on a SBC of some sort.

I got the script fixed and thanks for pointing that out.

I thought this would work, as another CEC utility script that I found wasn't making it happen. When I run the Standby script, the TV powers off. However, the On script will not turn on the TV. And, yes, I changed the wording in the On script to say 'on' and not 'standby' (as another commenter said, both scripts in your Google drive tell the TV to go to standby). Sadly, this isn't working for me, so I'm doing workarounds this year. However, thanks for doing this work. I appreciate your videos!

@fppshorts Год назад

You may want to check the TV's settings as Energy saving modes can cause issues with how standby works with CEC commands raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/100053/cec-client-turns-tv-off-but-not-on-again Thanks for pointing out the issue with the script, that should be updated as well.

@baughhumbuglights8860 Год назад

I'm pretty sure I checked my power & Eco settings, but that's something I can check. I sure appreciate your help.

@fppshorts Год назад

@@baughhumbuglights8860 Worth a check. What kind of TV is it?

@baughhumbuglights8860 Год назад

@@fppshorts A 55" Hisense I bought from Costco because it was < $300 and was one of the lightest I could find (I mounted the TV in a box I made and hung it over my single garage door).

@blackbeardrrr 4 месяца назад

Thank you for this content! I have a probably stupid question. Would the address change if you swap the monitor or projector plugged in to the Pi?

@fppshorts 26 дней назад

If you change devices, you will want to run the identify script process again. It probably wouldn't change, but there is a chance it could.

@adamcoffee738 Год назад

You should do a video on the Falcon V4 smart differential receivers, there isn't any out there for the V4s

@fppshorts Год назад

I don't have any of the new receivers but will pick some up just for you, and maybe next year's show. 😉

@adamcoffee738 Год назад

@FPP Shorts awesome although I've already got a heap of them using them this year. Just mentioned it because there has been a few question asked about them on various xlights forums and when I searched couldn't find any videos explaining them to post a link to

@mrpbjnance Год назад

IF the echo 'scan' | cec-client -s -d 1 command never comes back does that mean my device is not CEC compatible? I have a Pi 4B trying to control a projector

@fppshorts 10 месяцев назад

Sorry it took so long to respond. Was a busy summer. If you don't get any response back, try swapping for a different HDMI cable. If you still don't you should be able to look up the model of TV you have and see if that is deep in the specs somewhere.

Why would the CEC-Utils installation fail? "E: Unable to locate package cec-utils"

@pauldibley7457 Год назад

I got it to work. It was the browsers response to the paste command. It added some characters?

@fppshorts Год назад

@@pauldibley7457 good catch. Glad you got it to work

@coryp3896 11 месяцев назад

Do you have trouble syncing hi def video on the zero to the main player sequnces? It has enough horsepower for that?

@fppshorts 10 месяцев назад

I keep my resolution pretty low and don't actually run any MP4 or other video files. They are all within an FSEQ file like any other sequence. You should be able to run almost any video file from the zero. I use mine for Tune-To signs so they are pretty "light weight"

@KiwiPhil. Год назад

thanks, I have not done scripting in fpp - I have mulktiple CEC devices I want to control can I just add multiple lines of the /usr/bin/curl in the remote run script?

@fppshorts Год назад

I guess I am not following your question 100%. If you are wanting to put the script to turn the CEC device On/Off on the master controller, their would be a bit more work that has to go into it for it to run a bash script that is in the URL. It would probably be easier just installing the script on the remote device, and calling that script to be ran by the master.
