I really like how the Chromecast can turn my TV to the correct source and turn it on when I start casting. But is there a way to tell it to turn the TV off when I'm done with it. For example I'm using my ipad to start a movie on Netflix and cast it to the Chromecast. Everything works good. But I left the TV remote next to the TV. Is there a way to turn the TV off from the ipad or a computer with the Chromecast that way I can literally leave my TV remote in a drawer and never have to tough it?
I don't believe chromecast is capable of that. The device you're using has to have an IR blaster to be able to turn the tv on and off. Most new high-end androids have an IR blaster (G2, Note 3, S4, One).

If you have Verizon fios they have an app that goes through your router that you can change tv don't need IR, since it uses wifi.

The CEC Power off command is usually sent as part of the power down sequence of the device tat is sending it.
Pull the plug on the TV and it will not send a power down command to other devices on the CEC Network but hit the power Button and it will.
Since the Chromecast never really powers down (it does restart) it is difficult to know when it should send a power off command.
It would not be good to have it send one after every stream is done because most people aren't done watching TV after every stream completes.
Better would be if the CCast would send a Change Input command to go back to the last input before it took over (No command for that in CEC that I know of) so that if you streamed something when the TV was seeing the Cablebox, It would switch to CCast Input when it had a stream and then would switch back to whatever input it was on before CCast took over the screen.
That would be much more useful than a power off command which is great only when you want to watch one stream and then nothing else.

Huh? The Chromecast can already turn on and change inputs on some tvs using HDMI CEC. It is most likely a design decision not to turn the tv off when it disconnects.
My TV has an option in the menu to auto switch inputs when it detects activity on one of them through HDMI. So when I turn my bluray on the TV will detect that and switch to INPUT 3 and preempt my satellite input. It's kind of a pain that when I insert a bluray into the player it auto switches even if I'm not ready.
-- EDIT: nevermind, that was an older TV. New one doesn't, so it's HDMI CEC (VieraLink for mine) as bozzykid said.

The setup was fine, connected to my network, played Netflix and Youtube from various devices (phone, laptop, computer) no problems! (Interested in the Plex thread and others on here for locally stored video.. )
What is happening is very strange, however. I have a TV with multiple inputs (typical these days, right?) but after I've been 'casting' to the Chromecast, it takes several tries to change away from that input to another input (my Xbox, or HD antenna).
ALSO - the TV powers itself ON after a while! WHY IS THAT? I left and came back home and thought I had left the TV on - which is not like me at all! And later that night it turned on AGAIN after I went to bed. I unplugged the Chromecast just to get it to stop, but ideally, I would want to leave it plugged in all the time.
What is making the TV turn on?
Will moving my TV input to anything other than the Chromecast port stop it?
Is there a soft power-off option for the Chromecast device?

Sounds like you're having issues with their chrome cast's HDMI CEC. It can be used to automatically change inputs to the one the chrome cast is using and even turn on tvs.
You could disable HDMI control for your TV and it would prevent the issues from occurring.
Every manufacturer has a different name for their HDMI Control feature.
Who makes your tv, OP?

It's a Toshiba flat-screen, don't know the model. I'll put more detail up tonight when I can look. :silly: I also need to try having it off the Chromecast and starting a session and seeing if it draws the TV to that input. THAT would be nice, but the auto-powering on is a bad bug in my opinion.
My TV turns on automatically when just about anything powers on before the tv is on. Say I turn my ps3 on 1st, it will turn it on. Or plug a USB Flash drive in, turns it on. But, once in the HDMI spot, I can shut it down and it stays off. Very strange.

I haven't seen any mention of this. It turns on the TV fine, but won't turn it of. That's only partially useful, as I still have to keep the TV remote around.
Since it uses CEC to control the TV, it could turn the TV off, but it doesn't. Hopefully this feature is added in a future update.
Yeah I agree. I only now have a TV remote for only one purpose, to shut it off...

I just got my ChromeCast today and I was extremely happy that my TV is new enough to have the ChromeCast turn my TV on and change video modes. However, when streaming is done, I'd like it to shift back to previous video mode (your cable box)
If we all submit feedback, it'll at least help put the thought in Google's head at least.
My Chromecast is plugged into an HDMI input on my home theater receiver (Yamaha RX-V673) and powered externally from the wall. The HDMI output goes to my TV (6-yr old Samsung LNT4042H). I am streaming a browser tab (playing Grooveshark audio) to my home theater. Everything works fine, but I don't want to leave my TV on since I'm only listening to music. But when I turn the TV off, the audio stops too. Very perplexing, I'm not even sure whether or not to blame the Chromecast or the receiver, but I'm leaning toward the former (still no clue how to fix it though).
Any ideas? Thanks!

No. Weirder still, if the TV is already off when I start casting, it will cast successfully for a little while, but eventually the audio will cut out. If I then turn TV on, audio will come back.

Nope, powered externally from wall as mentioned in OP. Although admittedly I did add that in an edit so even though you quoted it, perhaps you read before I added it. :angel:
Another weird observation... if I put my TV to another input, it works fine. This is almost a perfect workaround since if I put TV to a dead input, it is almost as good as being powered off. Not quite though.

Sounds like either your receiver is "noticing" that the TV is off and going into some power save or something (check for input detection or options on a particular input), or your TV is doing the audio decode and feeding it back to your receiver via Audio Return Channel (ARC).
The latter is less likely simply because you get some audio at the start when the TV is off.
I tried looking in your receiver's manual, but it seems pretty complex (and powerful).

Maybe that would work, but so does the complete opposite (killing the connection 100%). I've found that if I totally unplug my TV, then it works fine. The problem is that when the TV is "off" it is actually in standby mode which must still draw some power, and the receiver is aware of this via the HDMI connection, and for some dumb reason chooses to stop the audio stream because of it. If I unplug the TV, then the receiver loses awareness of it entirely and decides to play the audio again. Very stupid, but solvable for $10:
www.amazon.com/Woods-Extension-Switch-Remote-15-Feet/dp/B000KKND86/
I currently manually push the TV power button to turn it off... now I just have to use that button instead to totally cut it off from power.
I believe the receiver is to blame... but easier to spend $10 than try to make Yamaha fix a problem.

If you can find an IR-triggered power cut off and you have a learning remote, you may be able to teach one of your remote buttons the signal and avoid getting up (yeah, I'm lazy).

This is a very LONG SHOT and most likely NOT the problem...
But with most Amp to TV setups the Amp requires the TV to be on to get it's HDCP validation as the amp merely acts as a passthrough device.
Like I said it is a longshot but it is possible that some services may require HDCP to operate....
More likely though it is CEC sending a shutdown signal to the amp.
Or the Amp is timing out because it believes the Chromecast is a Video device and requires a monitor regardless of the fact that the Chromecast can do Audio Only as well.
The Amp itself really has no clue what is plugged into it...All it knows is HDMI gets sent to a Monitor and in your case it doesn't have a destination so shuts itself off.

The fact that totally cutting the power to the TV (at the wall) fixes everything would seem to disprove that statement (and the earlier one that HDCP from the TV might be required for it to work). But I really don't know for sure.

Interesting. This CEC is new to me. I wonder how long it's been around... my TV (and the connecting cable) is from 2007.
No options in TV or Receiver anywhere to disable it, although the receiver specs do say that it has CEC. If it is CEC causing my issue, I wonder if something like this might help?

Of course it's only a foot long so I'd need a F-F connector to tack it onto the end of my existing cable.

CEC = Consumer Electronic Control
It's meant to help with the IR control and switching of inputs on Consumer devices
It was Introduced with the HDMI 1.2a Spec and expanded when HDMI 1.3 came out.
It's basically a control network for all the devices in a Home Entertainment system. Your supposed to be able to use one Remote to control everything....Works in Theory but most people have no clue how to get it to work! LOL
If you set your TV to your TUNER it should tell the Amp to switch to the Optical TV input automatically. And when you select BlueRay that goes through the amp the Amp should switch to that input and automatically change the input on the TV to see the Amp.
That Cable probably lifts pin 13 from connecting (isn't wired) which would take a particular device off the CEC Network.
But I would check both the Amp and TV settings first because by adding that cable you will have to switch inputs if you use the tuner on the TV and not just a set top box.If everything you own and watch goes through the amp the cable won't cost you any functionality other than TV remote working to change volume on the amp.
EDIT I don't suggest getting a Female to Female connector to barrel two cables together...
Better to get an extension HDMI cable that has a Female to Male cause every connector and connection can add noise and kill signal quality.
I have a opposite problem, chromecast keeps turning my TV on My Chromecast is connected to my Yamaha RX-A830 and I have a Samsung E8000 with 2013 Evolution kit. Every time I start playback on Chromecast, the TV is turned on. If I turn the TV off, the playback continues, but after some time (seems random to me) it turns the TV on again. Maybe that's when the playback stops for you? Because your TV does not support CEC and Chromecast thinks that there is no need to play anymore?

Chromecast doesn't care. It's still playing as turning the TV back on results in audio.
Really sounds like Yamaha thought it would be smart for the receiver to automatically switch off if the attached display is turned off.
My Sony sound bar has an auto-off feature too that has the annoying feature of turning off if I have my TiVo paused too long, so I turned off the sound bar's auto off and turned on my TV's option to turn off attached devices when powering off.

Wii U does not support CEC.
My TV CEC is on and Power sync is disabled. Yet still Chromecast turns it on...
Yamaha receivers turn off when they get CEC command to do so. My Chromecast has never turned my Yamaha receiver off. I have Yamaha set to HDMI control "On" and Standby sync "Auto" which should accept CEC power down command only when the current source sends it.
How do you turn off your TV when you turn it on using your Chromecast ?
Here in France & Europe, many of us are using 3play boxes (Internet/TV/phone) to watch TV, these are connected to TVs using (another) HDMI port
Many (if not all) of those boxes are able to turn on/off TVs using their remotes, OR THEIR IOS/ANDROID EMULATED TV REMOTES
So now, when I want to turn off my TV turned on using my Chromecast, I use an android emulated TV remote to do that...
A Chromecast developer told me he saw nothing (documented) inside the Chromecast SDK code to send the appropriate HDMI CEC signal to the HDMI TV port in order to shutdown ; OK,but who will develop a widget button to do this using orders sent by boxes ?
Google will not like...
:angel:
PS : other possibility ? Please, Mr Google, give us the proper SDK code to do it, we ensure you we will continue to watch the nice pics / even ads if any... sometimes
Thats cause there is no CEC support to turn off the TV!
Is there any command to shutdown Chromecast?
I'm thinking that the TV maybe shutdown when it looses its HDMI signal?

Do you mean that chromecast hardware/software can not do it? Because as far as CEC commands, I believe there is such support.
In fact, my xbmc media player shuts down my TV (and also my AVR) when I shut it down (these are xbmc’s configuration options for libcec: http://imgur.com/Yrss7lw,nVrqyny ).

Most devices do not support turning off a TV via CEC with the exception of AVRs.
And many AVRs choose not to do it using the TV as a Menu and info display instead.
Only powering off the AVR will trigger a TV off in those cases.
The CEC commands on the CCast are minimal at best....
Change the input and turn on the TV if it is off.
CCast would not turn off a TV cause it can not assume you are done streaming to it from the CCast. If that were the case every time the default screen loaded up the TV would go off. So it needs to be done via the CCast receiver/player and if you switch to another source the other source should determine if the monitor is needed or not so no need for the CCast to make that decision.
What really needs to be added to the CEC commands is the ability to use the TV or AVR remote to control playback.
But again thats something the Developer Receiver/Player on the CCast has to do the device itself can't really do that for them.
In regards to your XBMC, XBMC assumes it is the only device connected to the TV, It even expects you will watch your live TV through that and that no other device is connected to the TV but XBMC.

OR Hope Google creates some functionality on the Default screen to control the device, change inputs and turn off a TV if needed. But it would require leaving whatever app you were using and loading another app designed to access the default screen control layer.
Basically the device is capable of doing a lot of things it's just that the way it would have to happen is not all that much different than looking for the TV remote and doing it that way!
CCast is considered a "Source" device...Most Source devices are not meant to control power it is assumes the Source Selector device (or Router, in this case an AVR) will handle and determine if and when the TV is needed and shut it down appropriately.
This is why if you have an AVR you should be plugging the CCast into the AVR not the TV.
Only if the TV is acting as the router for sources should the CCast be plugged into it directly. If you have an AVR all your sources should go through that!
In fact it's already started as many AVRs already have the ability to network and play networked sourced content like Pandora and Sirius.
I suspect it won't be long before some type of CCast like capability is built into them that you can control from a mobile OR via the AVR Remote.
Of not AndroidTV then perhaps Amazon Fire or Roku support.
Hi forum mates,
I don't see a specific sub-thread for the new Chromecast yet, so I'm going to ask here figuring somebody has one and has been playing with it.
I noticed the remote has a power and input button. I have a 2019 Samsung TV with an awful interface that is mostly an ad-server (I don't even have it network connected) that I use 90% for my laptop. I would like to use it with the chromecast and figure it I can turn it off and on and change the input back and forth between different HDMI ports, I can throw out the Samsung remote. Anyone try this?
Thanks in advance,
The Dude abides.
I just got one and I set it up on a crappy Dynex TV that's next to my work desk at home. It does have the ability to power on and off the TV and input. Unfortunately the input option doesn't work from my TV but it is available. Of course, it also has volume controls. Not that I got it all setup, I'm going move to my LG TV. Switching TV controls is pretty easy and the name brands appear first before you have to search for all the off-brands. LG, Sony, Samsung, etc all appear on the initial list of TV's available, so I'm pretty sure they're supported.
In my experience, the input button doesn't switch through the different TV inputs. It only works when your TV isn't on the correct inputs that the Chromecast is using.
ie Chromecast is on TV input 1 and soundbar input 3, but you're currently on a gaming console that's TV input 2 and soundbar input 2. The CC remote input button will change the TV to input 1 and soundbar input 3 when pressed.
Just got one today. The button works well on Samsung TV.
I got one yesterday. Volume and Power button work with 43" Toshiba Cast TV (43L621U).
When setting up the remote it took just the second pass on the volume and power button setups. The input button causes the input menu to jump around but nothing changes. The process was pretty easy. I named it Sabrina and moved it into the "living room" in the Home app. Voice commands like, "Ok Google, Play Mr Deeds on Netflix on Sabrina" and "Hey Google, turn on Sabrina" work but need to press the remote's power button to turn off the tv. I can live with that.
I ordered mine this morning. Will be here by the 21st.
Has anyone found a case/jacket for the remote it is o small? I have hisense 2018 tv, power and volume work but not input and telling google assistant to turn off tv, just turn off chromecast.
have mine, works fine on my old sony TV and JML sound bar , only question is OTG , 1.3 GB of space is crazy.. so I tried to add some more via a OTG breakout box... with HDMI ( Non powered ) USB etc... it works with my phone ( Sam A71) but not the CC google TV. Does any have any good ideas for an OTG cable that works with the CC G TV ?
Thanks guys - in case anybody searches this later. Power, input, and volume all work on my Samsung TV. I can use the input selector to switch between Chromecast and my laptop on 2 different HDMI ports.
