Recently I updated to tvOS 17, but I was a bit afraid of it as I was seeing how terrible is the watchOS 10.

I should have been waiting on this update because it fucked up my main control method of the Apple TV which is through the Samsung tv’s remote.

Now I cannot navigate via the tv remote. And when I try to manually connect to the Anynet(Samsungs name for HDMI-cec) device, it could not connect. And another strange thing is that in the anynet device list the name was the appletvs given name shown, but on tvOS 17, the name in the anynet device list changed to ‘Player’.

Is there any solution to get the hdmi-cec working again?

Already tried another HDMI cables, restarting the devices, reset the appletv, reinstall the tvOS, but nothing was helping.

    Can you use the ATV remote to get into the Settings and try to re-learn your Samsung remote?

    Settings > Remotes and Devices > Learn Remote

      I am not talking about IR remote control, but HDMI-CEC control. I tried this now and the Apple TV can learn the remote, but there is a mild annoyance that the TV is showing a warning on every keypress covering half of the screen, that this keypress is not supported on the current mode. It looks like that both the tv and the Apple TV is trying to interpret the IR codes. Also I cannot teach the playback controls because I dont have all the rew/fwd, prev/next track beginning/end buttons on the remote, only play pause stop rew/fwd.
