[RPi5] Remote/CEC not working with TCL TV running ROKU

  • I have a TCL TV running ROKU. I can't control my Raspberry Pi 5 with my remote.

    I fixed this by following the following steps:

    1. Quickly press the following on the TV remote: Home x5 > Rewind > Down > Fast Forward > Down > Rewind.
    2. This will open up a secret menu, "TV Secret Screen", where you should enable "CEC Remote Control".
    3. Turn the TV off and on again, it should now work.

    I am documenting this for posterity.

    A useful command for debugging CEC is cec-ctl --monitor.
