I'm pretty sure Chromecast already supports CEC?

Oh I didn't know since I don't have one, just assumed it didn't since folks said no remote.

I experience a lot of weird bugs where the volume control doesn't work right away, or Netflix and Play Music disconnect my Chromecast session and I have to completely close the app to reconnect, or for some reason my previous volume on Youtube always affects Netflix's volume (If I turn Youtube down to the lowest volume setting, that becomes the highest volume setting when switching to Netflix, making it inaudible). You haven't run into any of these issues? Wonder if I just bought from a bad batch :\

It happens to me as well, although only on one chromecast and the issue seems to be intermittent. The volume issue happens quite often when I use my music player apps on my phone when on chromecast then use Netflix or other video streaming apps.

Well Now it makes sense why they bricked over half of their users this past July with the 38401 Update.
Very Clever Google.
