Hi,
it seems that if TV is off then Chromecast goes to OFF as well due to CEC and this is what it should do, but when turning on the tv and switching to chromecast input, then it takes a long time until Chromecast wakes up. Is there a way to set chromecast to standby mode when tv turns on?
of course i can issue an adb reboot command but that will take longer.
What do you think? have you experienced the same?
Which type of chromecast?
Are you powering the chromecast from the TV usb or its own power supply?
I probably have mine set up differently. My normal chromecasts(not google TV) don’t turn off when I turn off the TV. It has been a long time since I looked at the CEC settings, but I don’t think that was a working option. Perhaps something has changed since I last looked.
Are you sure it’s not just turning off because the usb port stops powering it when the TV turns off?
it’s the new chromecast with google tv. It’s powered by it’s own power supply. It has CEC with the TV. i don’t know how it calls it in settings, i will check and send you.
I will check if it turns off immediately after turning off the tv, but i noticed that after turning the tv on, the device remains in off state.
BTW, “OFF” state means that chromecast shows the ambient screen, the one with the background. When it goes to “ON” state then it shows the main screen with the menus.
I think i will make an automation that will set chromecat to ON state as soon as i turn the tv.
Ahh yes that is more similar to my experience. I thought you meant Powered off.
I don’t have a googleTV one, much prefer plain Chromecast. Not sure how much help I’ll be.
Oh hmm so it shuts down the googleTV part(which takes time to load), but leaves the cast part active?
IF CEC is doing that just turn off that part of CEC, and put a screensaver on?
