Hi,
I am trying to use my raspberry pi running kodi on my new Samsung TV (replaced an old Panasonic tv). The Samsung TV remote is not working with kodi presumably because I was using it with a Panasonic tv.
Is there any way to reset the kodi raspberry pi box so it now operates with the Samsung controller?
I know the Samsung controllers to work with it because I've setup a raspberry pi in the past with a Samsung TV and it works fine.
Thanks in advance
Fei

Unfortunately not, that is anyway. I read further into it and that feature doesn't support Kodi and pi.
The problem I think is with the CEC file being set up for my old Panasonic tv not my Samsung bit there doesn't be any way of deleting it or editing the setting

I believe he's using a pii 3 though. Sorry I didn't say, I'm using a pii 2. When I get the chance I'm going to change the HDMI cable as I read someone did that and it worked.
It definitely works with that TV and I just know if I reinstalled Kodi it'll work.
I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for the help it's much appreciated. 👍

If your HDMI cable worked with the other TV, then it must support CEC. Same thing with your Pi. The only new element in your setup is the Samsung TV.
On your Pi, can you run this command and give us the output?
echo "scan" | cec-client RPI -s -d 1
Thanks.

Well, you've been a big help anyway. At least I've got an answer even if it's not the one I wanted. I'd previously tried the plug bit, didn't work
Thanks for helping me anyway. I really appreciated your help 👍👍👍
