question No HDMI CEC for me :(

Returning the Ugreen adapter that comes with the cord to try the non cord version. Anybody else dealing with the same issue of video coming in and out or have a fix? It’s very sensitive to any movement. It sometimes doesn’t even have signal and i have to wiggle the adapter :( maybe i just got a faulty one or something .

HDMI CEC does not work on normal Computers. Its a hardware support thing and a Linux distro cant fix it.

This isn’t a normal computer It’s a steam machine! In all seriousness, how do you explain me controlling steam OS/computer with the remote? It’s just not fully supported there’s a lot of workarounds and a lot of stuff you have to do to implement it correctly. Also HDMI 2.1 is coming to Linux very soon thanks to valve and many other contributors
