[Feature] Control EmulationStation via HDMI CEC remote control #421
Comments
I like this idea ! |
I support this idea. Having the exact same thoughts as @fmaida, i would like to navigate from Emulationstation to Kodi without having to switch controllers. Just installing |
this is a really good idea |

Hey guys! |
@CeRiAl Any chance you can update it for libcec 3.0? It is required for Kodi 15.X. /home/tristan202/emulationstation/src/EmulationStation/es-core/src/InputManager.cpp: In member function 'void InputManager::init()': |

I would find this feature really useful. It's annoying when I click on the wrong menu entry in Kodi and launch emulation station by mistake, then have to hunt down my game pad before I can close out and go back to Kodi! |
any progress so far? |
Emulationstation isn't being maintained any more, so no. |
What's the progress? |
Status of this repo: |
Hi all. I wrote a program to do this at https://github.com/dillbyrne/es-cec-input I only needed a,b,up,down,left,right,start and select for my purposes but it is easily extendible if you need more |
@fieldofcows is doing a lot of work on RetroPie's Emulationstation branch, perhaps you could submit a pull request to him so others can test? :D I remember CEC support being the third most requested thing after removing the Emulationstation splashscreen (now implemented!) and a fix for the white screen of death! |
There's this cool feature of HDMI connection that allows to use the same remote control of the tv set to also control an external device. For example on Raspbmc you can use it and it is completely supported.
IMHO It would be super-awesome if on the Raspberry Pi we could use the TV remote control to navigate through the EmulationStation menus... I'm not suggesting that we should use the remote control instead of a joypad to play games, but it would be super handy to be able to move from Kodi (that already support CEC) to EmulationStation, back and forth without having to change the controller.
Maybe EmulationStation could support two different inputs, one from a joypad and one from a CEC enabled remote control.
