New Samsung Frame not shutting off (alien.top)

Hello Everyone!

So I have been using Apple TVs exclusively for my Televisions (that word feels outdated) for the past six or seven years but recently had to replace a cheap-o 32” panel and opted for a frame.

In the past, when the Apple TV shut down it would turn off the TV but I am having serious problems getting it to mimic this behavior. I can get it to work for a day maybe and then it reverts back to a ‘no source blue screen’ when the Apple TV turns off.

Samsung stopped just short of asking me for a DNA sample to get the Frame to turn on so is it an issue stemming from them pushing people to use the TV’s native software?

I thought about trying to program a Siri action using the Samsung iPhone app but that seems complicated

Appreciate any guidance and thanks for reading!

This is more of an issue with CEC. I had it working great, but now when I turn off the TV via the ATV remote, it comes back on within 30 sec. I turn it off again and it stays off. If I turn it off with the Samsung remote, everything works fine.

Almost looks like the ATV sends an on signal after shutting down when using its remote. The only way to fix is to disconnect everything including power, turn it all back on with no HDMI cables connected, then reconnect everything one at a time.

Or just wait for the next TVos update to cause a different issue.
