CEC with Kodi/Pulseeight-Adapter + AVR, but without CEC-capable TV/Projector

[J4nsen]

Hi,
I want to control my HTPC with my AVR remote. My foolish assumption was that I just need to buy a Pulseeight HDMI Cec adapter to be able to control my HTPC running Kodi.
In my setup I have a Sony projector (VPL-XW5000ES) that does not support HDMI CEC.

As I just found out, the HDMI CEC spec seems to requires a TV to be present. :( Everything works fine if I connect a TV with CEC support, but nothing happens if the projector is connected to the AVR.

Is there any way around this?

• Can a second Pulseeight adapter act as TV?
• Can one single adapter be a TV and a playback device?
• Is there another product which emulates a TV?

Logs

I have four logs of cec-client

• cec-client: scan with projector
• cec-client: scan with tv
• cec-client: button press on AVR remote with projector (OK button of AVR remote pressed on timestamp 7039)
• cec-client: button press on AVR remote with TV (OK button of AVR remote pressed on timestamp 6500)

Hardware

• AVR: Yamaha RX-A4A
• HTPC: Windows 11 x64 with Kodi + Pulseeight HDMI CEC Adapter
• Projector: Sony VPL-XW5000ES
• TV: Toshiba 40VL748

Any ideas are very much appreciated :)

Hi, Our client wont do this natively, you would need to make changes to the code to do it.
