Has anybody experience with controlling TV from HTPC via HDMI-CEC protocol?
Media Gallery « ValkyrieTech
I think, this is currently only via USB interface possible, because the graphiccarddrivers currently don't expose an API - plus it's unclear, (to me), if they have inmplemented CEC protocol in their designs...
But anyway, assuming that such a USB connector is used, that opens the CEC protocol to the HTPC, it should be possible to use this from MP (and thus being able to control all CEC devices like TV, receiver, etc. from MePo...) - so anybody has experience?
Further links for those interested:
