Roon CEC controller extension

Hi,

I just wote a tiny extension that allows you to control Roon Core (, , , , , , , ) from your audio amplifier remote control, having your amplifier connected to a Roon Bridge via HDMI using CEC protocol.

It’s a work in progress but it already works:

I just added:

info so that it works with Pulse-Eight USB-CEC Adapter,
how to make it run as a service using systemd.

Thanks @Benjamin_Bellamy for creating this extension.

@Danny – could this functionality be incorporated into ROCK for receivers connected to the core directly over HDMI?

Thanks also from me @Benjamin_Bellamy. I can confirm that the Pulse-Eight USB-CEC adapter works. I’m currently using Manjaro with lib-cec. The only thing that does not work is the FAST_FORWARD button, which is not a problem for me because I’m just using the cursor keys.
For me it is more logical if the button UP responds to FAST_FORWARD and vise versa. So I changed this on my server. But that’s a matter of taste.
