CEC / remote control support in emulationstation

[mdx]

Is CEC / remote control support functional in emulationstation? I'd like to be able to have remote control for the sake of menus but can't seem to be able to get it to respond to remote control input that normally works with cec-client.

As remote control can't be configured for input manually (no long press recognised during key input), I added the following stanza to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg inside <inputList></inputList>

  <inputConfig type="cec" deviceName="cec" deviceGUID="-2">
    <input name="select" type="button" id="0" value="1"/>
    <input name="up" type="button" id="1" value="1"/>
    <input name="down" type="button" id="2" value="1"/>
    <input name="left" type="button" id="3" value="1"/>
    <input name="right" type="button" id="4" value="1"/>
  </inputConfig>

I followed the API document to set the other values.

The id values for keys are what cec-client reports for those keys.

No, it's not finished/usable.

@mitu FYI for the time being, I have a partial workaround to execute commands to stop and start emulationstation via a remote.
