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.

    Unplug the Appletv hdmi cable from your tv. Power cycle. Plug it back in and power on. You may have to go through the device set up on the tv again. HDMI-cec is one of the buggiest protocols for n existence. Sometimes it just breaks for no reason.
