Unless you are talking about waking the device by switching to the TV input? I've never seen that feature working on anything (is it even part of spec?)
Maybe I misunderstood your goals. I thought you wanted to be able to turn your tv on and just start using Jellyfin with the same controller (as we are able to do now with the Chromecast, etc.)
CEC can indeed power devices on and off. My soundbar turns on and off with the TV, and I'm pretty sure the TV turns on if I try to cast something to the Chromecast, or turn on my Xbox while the screen is off. Just food for thought!
That is indeed my goal. I don't have any issue leaving a device on 24/7 to accomplish that though - so CEC would be a cool bonus but not required. The much harder part of the puzzle is how to control the client. As far as I can tell there isn't any way to control desktop app with a controller or even a keyboard.
I tried running it through Steam as I know it works through Steamdeck but something in steams latest windows client has bugged out big picture mode.
